- Type
- Pb-Zn veins in Carboniferous limestones, oxidised near surface
Pb-Zn-F-Ba veins of the Askrigg Block; white and yellow-green smithsonite coatings around gossan material, the last layer Cd-rich. Sulfide oxidation at about 15 to 20 °C, under a climate warmer than today (Boni et al., 2019). Indicative coordinates.
