Type
Stratabound scheelite in reaction skarnoids

Small scheelite lenses in calc-silicate hornfels replaced by a skarnoid, in the Monterrubio Formation (quartzites, amphibolites, schists, gneisses), without adjacent granite. Long seen as exhalative or synmetamorphic, they are of Variscan perigranitic origin according to scheelite Sr and Nd, close to those of Los Santos. Coordinates estimated near the village of Morille. Indicative coordinates.
