À ces skarns cuprifères n'est pas associée l'intense fracturation qui donne lieu aux stockwerks caractérisant les gîtes porphyriques, de sorte que les associations minérales d'altération rétrograde sont confinées au remplissage de vacuoles, à des zones de contact et à des conduits de fluides à contrôle structural largement espacés. 1, record 1, French, - remplissage%20de%20vacuoles
