Iberian Pyrite Belt (representative example)
Huelva and Baixo Alentejo, Spain/Portugal
Volcanogenic massive sulfidesCu
- Type
- Volcanic-hosted massive sulfides (VHMS)
Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous volcanogenic massive sulfides (about 345 Ma). δ34S of massive and stockwork ores from -26 to +10 ‰ (Velasco et al., 1998): bacterial sulfur in diagenetic textures, hydrothermal sulfur at about +3 to +5 ‰ in stockworks. Homogeneous crustal lead at about 18.18 / 15.62 / 38.19 (Marcoux, 1998).
