The textures and chemistry of sulphides were investigated in 63 rocks from the Fiskenæsset complex, West Greenland, by light microscopy, electron microprobe, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Sulphides are found disserninated throughout the layered sequence, being especiaIly concentrated in the ul tramafic zone and in ultramafic lenses in the higher zones. Sulphide phases are restricted to the Cu-Fe-Ni-Co-S system - pentIandite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, millerite, heazlewoodite, cobalt-pentlandite, polydymite, godlevskite, violarite, cubanite, and digenite. Most sulphides occur interstitially as rounded globules often containing significant quantities of oxides. Some aggregates occur as inciusions in silicate or chromite, as ragged stringers between other phases, or with scalloped intercumulus textures. Subsolidus reactions are common; fine-scale inter growths of pentlandite-pyrite, chalcopyrite-pyrite, chalcopyrite-cubanite, pentlandite-heazlewoodite and pentlandite-godlevskite-polydymite occur. Euhedral pyrite is found in the anorthosites and chromitites. Pyrite-millerite appears to be an equilibrium pair in some rocks. Weathering affects the major phases in the folIowing order: pyrrhotite > chalcopyrite > pentIandite. Temperature stability limits for several of the phases, equilibrium phase assemblages, and textures of the sulphide intergrowths, all indicate that the sulphides have re-equilibrated to low temperatures. The common pyrite-pentlandite assemblage places a 230°C upper limit, and the digenite composition places a 125°C lower limit, on the temperature of equilibration. assemblages in the upper, more felsic zones. Sulphide fractionation exhibiting some af these features is also faund in ather layered igneaus intrusions. The similarity of the Fiskenæsset sulphides with thase in other intrusians, caupled with the unlikely passibility of derivation of the sulphides by assimilation or metasomatism, implies that the sulphides were derived from the original magma.
