Introduction of the Research on Submarine Hydrothermal Sedex Mineral Deposits in the Black Rock Series
The black rock series is the dark-colored argillaceous, siliceous, carbonate rock assemblage which is rich in sulfide and organic matter. And the Sedex mineral deposits in the assemblage are the focuses of the international research. The researches are mainly concentrated on genetic explanation of the geological event, Sedex activity, bio-metallogenic role and metal mineralization, genesis of minerals and environment influence, PGE minerals, black shale, bone coal and metal mineralization, elemental geochemical influence. Data obtained reveal evidently the role of the specific geological background, metallogenic environment, bio-metallogenic mechanism in rock-forming and ore-forming processes of Sedex mineral deposits in the black rock series.
