Windisch Bleiberg
Karawanks, south of Ferlach, Carinthia, Austria
Mississippi Valley TypePb-Zn
- Type
- Pb-Zn hosted in Triassic carbonates (Bleiberg type)
Old lead-zinc mines of the Singerberg and Rabenberg (Aloisius and Karl adits). Bleiberg-type Pb-Zn in Triassic Wetterstein platform carbonates, Drau Range. Sulfur from bacterial and thermal reduction of Triassic seawater sulfate, with three populations (-5 to -10 ‰, -11 to -23 ‰ and -25 to -32 ‰); sphalerite generations correlate across the district. Indicative coordinates.
