Mineral Deposit Research: Meeting the Global Challenge

Abstract

Field and petrographic observations co-mbined with fluid inclusion measurements, geochemical data, and stable and radiogenic isotope results place important constraints on the genesis of calcite-marcasite-pyrite veinlets located in the Lower Carboniferous siliciclastic rocks of the Nízký Jeneík Upland. These data suggest that the veinlets formed from hydrothermal fluids, derived from marine water that migrated, along with petroleum, out of the Carpathian Foredeep in Miocene time.
