RT Journal Article T1 Natural fluid-deposited graphite: mineralogical characteristics and mechanisms of formation A1 Luque del Villar, Francisco Javier A1 Pasteris, Jill D. A1 Wopenka, Brigitte A1 Rodas, Magdalena A1 Fernández Barrenechea, José María AB This paper focuses on the similarities and differences between metamorphicgraphite (formed in situ from organic matter) and fluid-deposited graphite.We discuss the formation of fluid-deposited graphite in terms of the source ofcarbon, the characteristics of the C-bearing fluids (the C-O-H system), the mechanismsof carbon mobilization, and the mechanisms of carbon precipitation. Newand existing analytical data are compiled on the physical and chemical characteristicsof fluid-deposited graphite olitained by the following techniques: opticalmicroscopy, differential ilierrilal analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, Ramanspectroscopy, and stable isotope mass spectrometry. Our discussions focuson major, that is, volumetrically significant, worldwide concentrations of graphite PB Yale University.
