Dissecting the Re-Os molybdenite geochronometer
Rhenium and osmium isotopes have been used for decades to date the formation of molybdenite (MoS 2 ), a common mineral in ore deposits and the world’s main source of molybdenum and rhenium.

description | Rhenium and osmium isotopes have been used for decades to date the formation of molybdenite (MoS
2
), a common mineral in ore deposits and the world’s main source of molybdenum and rhenium. Understanding the distribution of parent
187
Re and radiogenic daughter
187
Os isotopes in molybdenite is critical in interpreting isotopic measurements because it can compromise the accurate determination and interpretation of mineralization ages. In order to resolve the controls on the distribution of these elements, chemical and isotope mapping of MoS
2
grains from representative porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits were performed using electron microprobe and nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry. Our results show a heterogeneous distribution of
185,187
Re and
192
Os isotopes in MoS
2
, and that both
187
Re and
187
Os isotopes are not decoupled as previously thought. We conclude that Re and Os are structurally bound or present as nanoparticles in or next to molybdenite grains, recording a complex formation history and hindering the use of microbeam techniques for Re-Os molybdenite dating. Our study opens new avenues to explore the effects of isotope nuggeting in geochronometers. |
