Zoar area (Massachusetts)
Massachusetts, Zoar, United States
OtherMn-Au
- Type
- Mn-Au mineralization in metasediments
Mn-Au deposit of Ordovician age in a dominantly clastic metasedimentary terrane, metamorphosed to greenschist facies. Palmer and Slack (1989, Table 1): tourmaline at -5.54 ‰. Tourmalines of this kind of terrane range from -15.37 to -2.19 ‰ in the article; according to the authors, the boron source (continental crust, entrained seawater, evaporites) matters more than the formation temperature.
