Kupferschiefer, Lubin-Sieroszowice district
Lower Silesia (Fore-Sudetic Monocline), Poland
OtherCu-Ag (Pb, Zn)
- Type
- Sediment-hosted stratiform copper (Kupferschiefer)
Europe's leading copper district, at the base of the Zechstein (Permian). Copper, carried by oxidising brines, was deposited in organic-rich black shales, with zoning from the oxidised zone (Rote Fäule) through copper to lead-zinc zones.
