Intended as a reference for the academically-oriented geologist as well as the practising economic geologist, this book is concerned with the study of skarn deposits having anomalously high tin or tungsten contents, or both. Unlike many other books on economic geology, both economic W-Sn skarns and non-economic examples are covered, in order to enable the academically-oriented reader to grasp the full range of such deposits, and also to aid the economic geologist in distinguishing between W-Sn skarns having economic potential and those which do not. W-Sn skarns are notoriously complex, containing a wide range of textures, grain sizes, mineral assemblages, bulk compositions and structures. The lack of a sufficiently detailed data base, coupled with some unsupportable genetic models, has led to many misunderstandings and has often resulted in needless expenditure and effort on fruitless mineral exploration. Thus, the first aim of this book is simply to provide an adequate data base with sufficient references to enable an interested worker to define a skarn deposit and know where to find additional information on similar examples.
1. Introduction and General Features of W-Sn Skarns. 2. The Meanings and Features of W-Sn Skarns. 3. Metamorphic Skarns in W-Sn Ore Skarn Environments. 4. Some General Features of W-Sn Skarns. 5. The Geochemistry and Mineralogy of W and Sn in Skarns. 6. W-Sn Related Granitoids and their Alteration. 7. Proximal W-Skarns. 8. Proximal Tin Skarns. 9. Greisenized, Greisen, and Distal Sn-Skarns. 10. Tungsten Skarns in Regionally Metamorphosed Sequences unrelated to Plutons. Bibliography. Author Index. Location Index. Subject Index.
