Thank you Nick. You managed to cram a range of geological terms and some botany into a comprehensive three minutes. My kind of lecture.

what a magnificent rabbit hole these epithermal systems are, the questions are endless. I have many intrusion (granitoid) related gold systems in my area. They appear simpler than these epithermals which are also in the area, and yet even there after 20 years most of my questions about the metal genesis and contact alteration, relationships between rock types, never seem to resolve. I need another three of me to gain the time.

Can I ask why Rhyolite is not a suitable host for epithermal systems? Not a geologist but have an interest in mineral forming systems and was just wondering the logic behind that
@GeologyUpSkill4 ай бұрын
Igneous systems with rhyolitic composition seem to contain less gold so there is not much to leach out and precipitate in the epithermal veins, but it is not an absolute rule. There are some exceptions, particularly in systems with a mixture of rhyolitic and andesitic volcanics.

Hi Nick, great channel! could you share your thoughts on something please? I want to pursue a career in geochemistry here in Australia and its almost time for me to finalise my university major. I am having a hard time deciding what degree would be most beneficial for this type of work, do you think a chemistry degree with a geology minor or a geology degree with a chemistry minor would best equip me with the fundamental knowledge/skills needed to be a good geochemist?
@GeologyUpSkill10 ай бұрын
The simple answer is to major in the subject you enjoy most. Chemistry is probably more useful to a geology career than geology is to a chemistry career, but if you love what you do, work will seem like play.

Hey Nick, How would the texture reflect the fluid's boiling conditions? (Pressure-Temperature conditions?) If this question is too broad for KZbin could you recommend any papers on the subject? I am a PhD student and I am studying fluid inclusions in quartz veins just to get that out of the way.. Great video! Alon.
@GeologyUpSkill7 ай бұрын
Most of the direct evidence comes from textures observed in systems drilled for geothermal energy where the boiling is still active. Try searching that area of literature. Lots of work done in Newzealand.
