Title: Hydrothermal metamorphism in the Larderello Geothermal Field

Journal Article · · Geothermics; (United States)

The various tectonic units underlying the Larderello-Travale geothermal region have undergone hydrothermal metamorphism. The hydrothermal mineral assemblages are generally consistent with the temperatures now measured in the wells, leading to the hypothesis that solid phases deposited from a liquid medium during a hot-water stage that preceded the vapor-dominated one. 61 refs.
