Late Variscan calc-alkaline lamprophyres in the Krupka ore district, Eastern Krusne hory/Erzgebirge: their relationship to Sn-W mineralization
2014
Abstract
Variscan lamprophyres occur in the greisen tin-, tungsten- and molybdenum-ore district of Krupka in the Eastern Krusne hory/Erzgebirge (KHE). They belong to a bimodal dyke suite of aplites, felsic porphyries, microgranites and mafic dykes associated with late Variscan tin-bearing granites and include minettes, kersantites and spessartites, while vogesite reported earlier has not been confirmed.
The timing of lamprophyre dykes also indicates that the mantle metasomatism beneath the KHE area occurred before the late Variscan granitic magmas were generated.
