The Cornish term "gossan" is applied to chemically weathered, iron-stained outcrops of sulfide mineral deposits. Synonyms include the French "chapeau de fer", the German "eiserner Hut", and the Spanish "colorados". The term "pacos ore" is used in Bolivia for gossans over tin veins that are residually enriched in cassiterite. Most workers reserve the term "capping" for gossans over disseminated sulfide deposits of the porphyry copper type. 4, record 5, English, - gossan
