CONT

At Silvermines in Ireland, lead-zinc mineralization occurs as syngenetic stratiform orebodies in a limestone sequence ..., as fault-bounded epigenetic strata-bound orebodies in the basal Carboniferous and as structurally controlled vein or breccia zones in the Upper Devonian sandstones ....

OBS

[The term stratiform] must not be confused with strata-bound which refers to any type or types of orebody, concordant or 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 as strata-bound, as they are virtually restricted to the Carboniferous limestone of that region.

CONT

Les corps stratiformes se présentent typiquement dans les formations sédimentaires. Ils peuvent correspondre à des concentrations elles-mêmes indubitablement sédimentaires, comme les grands gisements de fer oolithique de Lorraine ou les gisements de manganèse de Tchiatura (Caucase).
