Poniky (Drienok)
Western Carpathians, south-east of Banská Bystrica, Slovakia
Mississippi Valley TypePb-Zn
- Type
- Pb-Zn hosted in Anisian carbonates
Pb-Zn deposit in Anisian dolomites and limestones, with mostly epigenetic and replacement textures, which the author ascribes to Middle Triassic emplacement. Drienok Nappe, above Upper Scythian volcanics; breccias and veins with colloform galena, sphalerite and pyrite, mineralised rhythmic dolomites. Highly variable, mostly light sulfur, ascribed to bacterial sulfate reduction. Indicative coordinates.
