INDICATION OF HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION ACTIVITIES BASED ON PETROGRAPHY OF VOLCANIC ROCKS IN ABANG KOMBA SUBMARINE VOLCANO, EAST FLORES SEA
2017
Lili Sarmili | Johanes Hutabarat
The presence of mineral alteration or secondary processes to rocks on submarine volcano of Abang Komba was caused by an introduction of hydrothermal solutions. Those are indicated by the presence of a resembly of minerals alteration seen in their petrographic analyses. They are characterized by replacement partially surrounding of plagioclase phenocrysts, partially replacing plagioclase by sericite, carbonate and clay minerals. The replacement of pyroxene partly by chlorite, and the presence of albitisation (secondary albite) contained in fine rectangular plagioclase sized. Other fitures occasionally observed by the presence of partial oxidation of ore minerals and the presence of quartz, and epidote as an alteration from plagioclase and pyroxene.
