Abstract

A new type of magnesite mineralization in Eskisehir Erenköy in northwestern Turkey is reported. The mineralization is located in the Izmir - Ankara suture zone, associated with ultramafic rocks which lie on top of metamorphites. The deposits are heavily deformed due to tectonic effects. Magnesites have been analyzed for their δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O stable isotope contents in order to determine the origin of mineralizing fluids. Results show mean values of-8.4 for δ ¹³C and 31.9 for δ¹⁸O. The CO₂ responsible for the mineralization is postulated to be a mix of atmospheric origin and decarboxylation of organic sediments.
