About this document
Skarn Zonation in Mineral Exploration by camusLo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses mineral zonation patterns in skarn deposits, which can be used for exploration. Skarn deposits form through heat and mass transfer from intrusions into adjacent limestone or dolostone rocks. This results in distinct mineral zones radiating from the intrusion, including an inner endoskarn zone of garnet and pyroxene closest to the intrusion, followed by a massive skarn zone and then a marble or limestone zone further out. Examples are given of zonation patterns in copper and gold skar
