Mineralogy and origin of the distal volcanosedimentary deposit at the Haellefors silver mine, Bergslagen, central Sweden
In the Zn-Pb-Ag deposit of Hiillefors silver mine, four types of sulfide ores are recognized: l) stratabound ore associated with manganiferous iton ores, 2) arsenopyritebearing stratiform (stratabound ?) ore, 3) galena-rich fissures, 4) galena-arsenopyrite veins. Type 3 and 4 are thought to originate by remobilization from types I and 2, respectively. The antipathetic behavior of arsenopyrite with magnetite in the stratabound ores probably reflects environmental conditions during the deposition and early diagenesis. Metamorphic, hydrothermal remobilization led to the formation of many Ag, Pb and Sb minerals. Results of electron-microprobe analyses indicate that the principal sources of silver are argentian galena, freibergite and pyrargyrite. The silver content of galena (up to 0.17 wt.9o) has a linear relation with its antimony content. Tetrahedritegroup minerals contain ll.3 to 31.6 fi.qo Ag. An extremely silver-rich freibergite (48,2 wt.9o Ag) exceeds the previously reported maximum (42,5 wt.Vo).
Bimodal early proterozoic volcanism in the Grythytte field and associated volcano-plutonic complexes, Bergslagen, Central Sweden
ZusammenfassungDie Grythytte Schichtenfolge bildet einen NNW verlaufenden Gürtel aus sauren und basischen Metavulkaniten und Metasedimenten. Die geologischen Befunde weisen auf einen dynamischen Entstehungsprozeß von Grabenbildung und Füllung hin. Im weiter östlich gelegenen vulkanisch-plutonischen Hjulsjö-Komplex streichen älteren metamorphen pyroklastischen Gesteine rund ein Granit-Granophyr Zentrum. Dieser Komplex durchschneidet und wird durchschnitten von basischen Sills und Gängen. Feldgeologische und geochemische Untersuchungen weisen deutlich auf einen bimodalen Magmatismus hin, der während einer kurzen Phase der Grabenbildung stattfand.AbstractThe Grythytte field sequence forms a NNW belt of acid-basic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. The geology shows characteristics of a dynamic process of trough-forming and infilling which to a large extent post-dates the Hjulsjö volcanoplutonic complex situated to the east. In the latter complex acid metapyroclastics strike around a centre of granite and granophyre, which cut and are cut by basic sills and dykes. Field and petrochemical evidence points to a distinct bimodal magmatism that ist manifested during one short phase of a rifting period.RésuméLa séquence de Grythytte forme une ceinture de roches métavolcaniques et métasédimentaires de direction NNO. La géologie fait apparaître les caractéristiques d'un processus dynamique de formation de fosse et de remplissage, qui s'est produit, pour la plus grande partie, après la formation du complexe volcano-plutonique de Hjulsjö situé à l'Est. Dans ce dernier complexe des produits pyroclastiques acides sont disposés autour d'un centre granitoïde et granophyrique, qui à son tour recoupe et est recoupé par des sills et des dykes basiques. Les observations de terrain et les faits pétrochimiques indiquent un procèssus magmatique distinctement bimodal qui s'est manifesté pendant une phase courte dans une période de «rifting».Краткое содержаниеСвиты Grythytte образуют пояс из кислых и базически х метавулканитов и метаседиментов, прос тирающихся в NNW направл ении.

Time and Heritage
As a historian studying what can be considered a form of intellectual history, I have slowly come to adopt Michel de Certeau’s observation made at the end of the 1980s that ‘objectifying the past, for the last three centuries, has undoubtedly left unconsidered time within a discipline that has continued to use it as a taxonomic instrument’. To a certain degree, time has become commonplace for the historian who has preserved or instrumentalized it. It is not considered because it is inconceivable, but because we do not think of it or, more simply, we do not think about it. As a historian attempting to pay attention to the time I’m living in, I have thus, like many others, noticed the swift development of the category of the present until it has become obvious that the present is omnipresent. This is what I refer to here as ‘presentism’.
