Upper Silesia-Cracow district (Pomorzany, Chrzanów)
Upper Silesia, Olkusz and Chrzanów, Poland
Mississippi Valley TypeZn-Pb
- Type
- Oxidised MVT with non-sulfide ore
MVT sulfides in the epigenetic Ore Bearing Dolomite of the Muschelkalk, of debated age (Mesozoic or Tertiary), oxidised along Tertiary horsts. Light smithsonite carbon reflects C3-vegetated soils; organic ligands may explain why it is heavier than sphalerite. Indicative coordinates.
