Record 1 2016-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
  • Various Metal Ores
DEF

Said of a mineral deposit confined to a single stratigraphic unit.

OBS

stratabound: The term can refer to a stratiform deposit, to variously oriented orebodies contained within the unit, or to a deposit containing veinlets and alteration zones that may or may not be strictly conformable with bedding.

OBS

[The term stratiform] must not be confused with strata-bound which refers to any type or types of orebody, concordant of discordant, which are restricted to a particular part of the stratigraphic column. Thus the veins, pipes and flats of the Southern Pennine orefield of England can be designated of strata-bound, as they are ... restricted to the Carboniferous limestone of that region.

La minéralisation [...] peut atteindre les calcaires et les dolomies gréseuses du toit [...]; elle se loge parfois aussi dans le calcaire sublithographique de base. Elle passe d'un niveau à l'autre, mais sa disposition générale est «stratoïde».
