Babasheikh
Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, Iran
Mississippi Valley TypePb-Zn
- Type
- Pb-Zn vein in Lower Cretaceous carbonate-clastic rocks (MVT or exhalative)
Vein in Lower Cretaceous carbonate-clastic units, MVT or exhalative type according to the authors. Lead of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone deposits poorly radiogenic and clustered (206Pb/204Pb from 18.39 to 18.47), distinct from the Urumieh-Dokhtar zone: the structural domain controls the signature more than the host rock or ore type (Mirnejad et al., 2011). Coordinates not given.
