Sedimentology, Metallographic Characteristics and Geodynamic Evolution of the Merija Copper Deposit (Marginal Folds Basin, Eastern High Atlas, Morocco)
Abstract:The Merija copper deposit is located in the Marginal Folds of the Moroccan Eastern High Atlas. It is a stratiform deposit hosted in sandstone-conglomerate formations of the Infra-Cenomanian, consisting of copper carbonate and sulphide mineralization (malachite, azurite, traces of chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and covellite). This mineralization exhibits different forms: dissemination in the sandstone-conglomerate host rocks and fillings of centimetric veins, sometimes with calcite. Moreover, microscopic examinatio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
