REJUVENATION OF PITCHBLENDE IN HERCYNIAN ORE DEPOSITS

Journal Article · · Economic Geology and the Bulletin of the Society of Economic Geologists (U.S.)

In a majority of instances, geochronological studies on pitchblende samples from the Hercynian granites of Western Europe reveal an age much younger than that of the granite plutons. This youthfulness is attributed to rejuvenation of an initial mineralization emplaced in Hercynian times Before the geological history of such deposits can be correctly interpreted from mineragraphic investigations, the possibility of several periods of reworking must be recognized (auth)
