- Type
- Copper-molybdenum porphyry and veins
Armenian copper deposit sampled by the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Armenian Academy; age and type from Table 3 of Meliksetyan and Pernicka (2010): Late Oligocene to Neogene. Deposit not located: the place cited in the source could not be tied to reliable coordinates.
206Pb/204Pb isotope ratio, no unit Values of the same system
Standard : NIST SRM 981
| Value | Range | n | Mineral or matrix | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.3357 ± 0.067 | 18.2883 / 18.3831 | 2 | copper ore (chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite) Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 2 samples, Table 6 (FG-010091, FG-020518), read from the page image. Some samples have model ages older than 200 Ma, one of them older than 400 Ma: lead remobilised from the basement according to the authors.
