Volcanogenic massive sulfidesZn-Cu

Type
Metamorphosed volcanogenic massive sulfides

Zn-Cu deposit of Middle Proterozoic age in a dominantly metavolcanic terrane, metamorphosed to greenschist facies. Palmer and Slack (1989, Table 2): tourmaline at -2.51 ‰. Tourmalines of this kind of terrane range from -15.71 to -1.49 ‰ in the article; according to the authors, the boron source (continental crust, entrained seawater, evaporites) matters more than the formation temperature. Indicative coordinates, not published in the article.
