The Heavy-Metal Fingerprint of the Irinovskoe Hydrothermal Sulfide Field, 13°20′ N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge

A number of Cd-, Pb-, Ag- and Sb(±As)-bearing minerals are found in the Zn-rich smoker chimneys of the Irinovskoe hydrothermal sulfide field, 13°20′ N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Sulfide samples were studied using optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, XRD, EBDS, ICP-MS and thermodynamic approaches. The chimneys con...
