  • The host rocks of titaniferous magnetite deposits in Gonamsan are alkaline gabbros, which are typical of undersaturated alkaline rocks in terms of the lack of normative quartz. According to field occurrences and petrographic features, these alkaline gabbros are divided into 3 rock types: coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock, medium-grained rock with equigranular texture, and layered cumulate rock. All these rocks mainly contain clinopyroxene(salite), plagioclase(An 43-66), pargasite, and ilmenite. The accessory minerals are apatite, sphene, quartz, and sometimes titaniferous magnetite. Pargasite, sphene, and quartz are considered to be secondary minerals formed by the reaction among clinopyroxene, plagioclase and Fe-Ti oxide at deuteric stage. Fe-Ti oxides generally occur as ilmenite in the alkaline rocks, and titaniferous magnetite in the ore deposits. Layered cumulate rocks are characterized by a recurrence of discontinuous thin mesolayer of clinopyroxene-pargasite within leucolayer mainly composed of plagioclase. Clinopyroxene is cumulus mineral whereas plagioclase, ilmenite and apatite occur as intercumulus minerals. According to the variation diagrams of oxide and trace element contents against the differentiation index, incompatible elements, such as Na, Ba and Sr, show positive correlations whereas compatible elements, such as Mg and Cr, show negative correlations. However some compatible elements, such as Co, Ni and V show irregular variations, reflecting relative cumulate status of cumulus and intercumulus minerals. On the de la Roche multicationic diagram, these alkaline gabbros are distributed along the differentiation curve of undersaturated alkaline series from alkaline basaltic composition through basanitic composition to tephritic composition. Layered cumulate rocks, which are distributed between basanitic composition and tephritic composition, reflect their cumulate character, slightly scattering away from the curve. The medium-grained rock shows higher contents in Ba, Sr and light rare earch elements than the coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock. The former shows two times higher contents of total rare earth elements than the latter, $while(La/Lu)_{cn}$ ratios maintain fairly constant values of 5.08~5.06 in these two rocks. This means that coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock, as compared with the medium-grained rock, was formed by the earlier differentiated magma but rare-earth element distribution pattern remained almost parallel during differentiation. From the data the above mentioned, these alkaline gabbros are considered to be comagmatic and to be formed by intrusions of differentiated magmas in its reservoir.

  • 황토굴은 울릉도 태하리 해안에 위치하고 있는 해식동굴로서, 벽면은 적색 응회암층으로 이루어져 있고 상부는 조면암으로 덮여있다. 적색 응회암에 대한 주화학성분은 $SiO_2$ 49.81-63.63%, $Al_2O_3$ 13.05-24.91%, $Fe_2O_3$ 2.67-5.82%, $Na_2O$ 2.87-6.92%, $K_2O$ 2.37-3.85% $TiO_2$ 0.55-0.81%, MnO 0-0.53%, MgO 0.39-1.75%, CaO 0.60-1.40%이며, 토질의 pH는 4.5-8의 범위를 나타내고, 광물성분은 아노르소클레이스(anorthoclase) 23.7-39.4%, 새니딘(sanidine) 16.9-33.3% 일라이트(illite) 15.8-26.1%, 적철석(hematite) 5.1-9.0%, 침철석(goethite) 0-3.7%, 산화티탄(titanium oxide) 6.9-9.9%, 소금(halite) 0.9-9.5%의 범위를 보인다. 하지만 현무암질 응회암층 기질의 내에 존재하는 대부분의 비정질 물질은 XRD회 절선이 나타나지 않으므로 아노르소클레이스, 새니딘, 일라이트가 적색층의 주성분이라고는 할 수 없다. 조면암 용암의 열은 하부의 응회암에 영향을 주어 기질을 쉽게 변질시키는데 이로 인해 적색의 비정질 집합체 팔라고나이트(palagonite)를 형성하고 철 성분을 산화시켜 주변을 채색한 것으로 보인다. 이렇게 이차적으로 형성된 철 산화물은 팔라고나이트 내부에 부화되거나, 극미립 또는 비정질의 철산화물의 형태로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 적색층은 조면암 분출 직후와 관련된 열적 산화작용과 응회암 기질의 팔라고나이트화, 적색층 내에 존재하는 함철광물의 산화작용에 의하여 복합적으로 형성된 것으로 판단된다.
