The Association of Cinnabar and Bitumen in Mercury Deposits of the California Coast Ranges

摘要: A review of the literature from around world indicates that association bitumen and cinnabar in mercury deposits is widespread. Such are commonly associated with sedimentary rocks; compositions igneous rocks vicinity these highly variable, suggesting anomolous heat rather than rock type may be important to their formation. These spatially coincident anticlines or domes, which suggests focusing buoyant fluids critical The morphology ore bodies throughout controlled by permeability, whether primary secondary. On deposit scale, correlated solid liquid bitumens, gas.
