Abstract: The Mesozoic magnetite-(apatite) deposits of the Coastal Cordillera of Chile are interpreted as the product of the crystallization of oxidized iron-rich melts and subsequent hydrothermal alteration produced by related magmatic-hydrothermal systems. These deposits form a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g48861.1
Abstract: The origins of Kiruna-type magnetite(-apatite) [Mt(-Ap)] deposits are contentious, with existing models ranging from purely hydrothermal to orthomagmatic end members. Here, we evaluate the compositions of fluids that formed the classic yet enigmatic Mt(-Ap) deposit… read more here.
