The purpose of the work is to develop thermogravimetric-                   fourier transform infrared analysis (TG-FTIR) as a thermal                      maturation indicator suitable for examining recent hydrothermal                 sedimentary and metal sulfide deposits and their relation to                    ancient metal ore deposits.  Recent hydrothermal vent samples                   whose maximum geothermal exposure is thought to be farily well                  constrained  will be analyzed by TG-FTIR.  The rates of                         laboratory thermal evolution of various gases, including CO2,                   CO, SO2, COS, ammonia, methane, ethylene paraffins (all                         obtained in a single 90 minute analysis) will be compared to                    other indicators of thermal maturity and metamorphism.  Data                    are also automatically obtained during the same analyses for                    quantitative determination of various forms of C, S. O, and N                   in minerals associated with vent deposits.  The method will                     then be applied to some ancient metal ore deposits proposed to                  have a hydrothermal origin.  A natural outgrowth of the                         proposed work will be evaluation of TG-FTIR as a tool for metal                 ore exploration.
