Lithium and strontium isotope hydrogeochemistry in Okayama and Tottori Prefectures, southwest Japan: implications for tracing slab-derived fluid by Manato Akishiba, Yoshiro Nishio

“…We found that the δ 7Li and 87Sr/86Sr compositions of some of the water samples from Okayama Prefecture were similar to those of Arima-type fluids and that they are unlikely to be explained by other sources (e.g., local reactions with host rocks, residual hydrothermal/magmatic fluids, or seawater altered by rocks). Our results therefore suggest there may be a more extensive distribution of Arima-type fluids in the forearc region of southwest Japan than has been previously reported.…”
