Abstract:Many sedimentary-exhalative (SEDEX) sulfide deposits have been subject to regional metamorphism and, if the metamorphic grade was high enough, this could have resulted in sulfide anatexis. Although experiments and textures indeed showed that some deposits were partially molten, there is an ongoing debate as to the extent to which metamorphosed ore deposits were molten. Since some SEDEX deposits underwent amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphism, not only sulfides but also the host silicate rocks should hav… Show more
