Store Malene (West Greenland)
West Greenland, Groenland (Danemark)
OtherW
- Type
- Stratabound scheelite in supracrustal rocks
W deposit of Archaean age in a dominantly clastic metasedimentary terrane, metamorphosed to amphibolite facies. Palmer and Slack (1989, Table 1): tourmaline at -11.32 and -10.42 ‰. 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.
