Fichtelgebirge (tin granites)
Fichtelgebirge, north-eastern Bavaria, Germany
Other hydrothermalSn
- Type
- Granite-related cassiterite veins and greisens
Tin deposits of the Variscan Fichtelgebirge granites (Seehaus near Tröstau, Rudolfstein, Schönlind, Weißenhaid) and associated placer cassiterite. Cassiterite studied by Marahrens (2021) for Bronze Age tin provenance. Indicative coordinates.
