Abstract	Metasomatic and Sr-isotopic changes, associated with formation of zoned alteration halos along hydrothermal veins, are documented for a gneiss from the Artenberg quarry near Steinach (Kinzigtal, Schwarzwald, SW Germany). Veins are postorogenic, SW-NE-oriented, and cut straight through metaquartzdioritic Variscan gneiss, where flow of low-temperature fluids (∼100–200°C) caused adularia-quartz-sericite-type alteration. Fluid-rock interaction occurred nearly 50 Ma after Variscan metamorphism, as constrained by a Rb–Sr multimineral isochron for unaltered gneiss of 327.1 ± 3.1 Ma, and by two independent ages of 279.2 ± 3.1 Ma and 274 ± 13 Ma, based on Rb–Sr systematics of late-stage quartz from the veins. In a profile from unaltered gneiss towards a vein, alteration-induced mineralogical changes correlate with metasomatic net addition of K, Rb, and Cl to the alteration zone, combined with net loss of Na, Ca, and Sr. Strontium isotopes give a more detailed insight into the fluid-rock interaction process. 87Sr/86Sr ratios in a profile across the alteration zone are incompatible with simple Sr leaching but reflect partial replacement of the rocks’ Sr by fluid-derived Sr, the isotopic composition of which varied with time. Early fluids, with high 87Sr/86Sr ratios compared to unaltered gneiss, evolved into fluids with somewhat lower ratios, and finally reached a second maximum in 87Sr/86Sr ratios. This Sr-isotopic fluid evolution is equally revealed by the mineral sequence of the vein mineralization. It appears that the compositional evolution of the fluids correlates with the sequence of mineral breakdown reactions in the gneissic host rock, and that the Sr-isotopic evolution of the fluids can be fully explained as the result of internal, progressive reaction of fluid with the local rocks. Results also show that the spatial distributions of Sr isotopes in metasomatic alteration zones may reflect the complex evolution of fluid-rock interaction systems, and ultimately constrain the factors controlling both fluid compositions and alteration patterns.
