- Type
- Hot brines and metalliferous muds of an axial deep
Axial Red Sea deep filled with hot brines from leaching of Miocene marine evaporites, with Zn-Cu-Ag metalliferous muds. Palmer (1991): brine at +29.7 ‰, below seawater despite the marine evaporite source. Indicative coordinates, not published in the article.
