Form of deposit and associated structures, zoning and distribution of ore minerals. Like W skarns, Zn-Pb-Ag skarns form commonly in the thermal metamorphic aureole at the contact between granitoid intrusive and calcareous sedimentary rocks, but the contact metamorphic aureole is less extensive than that associated with deeper-seated W skarns. 8, record 1, English, - aureole

Les roches sont surtout modifiées aux surfaces de contact car la température y est la plus élevée. À la périphérie de la roche ignée formée par le refroidissement du magma on retrouve une zone métamorphique appelée auréole de métamorphisme de contact. 8, record 1, French, - aur%C3%A9ole%20de%20m%C3%A9tamorphisme

[Le métamorphisme de contact] se développe dans les terrains sédimentaires au contact d'un massif granitique (batholite) et de ses apophyses. Les terrains encaissants sont d'autant plus profondément modifiés qu'ils sont plus près du granite, formant ainsi une succession de zones concentriques ou «auréoles de métamorphisme». 9, record 1, French, - aur%C3%A9ole%20de%20m%C3%A9tamorphisme

Tungsten skarns are typically coarse-grained assemblages of ore and calc-silicate gangue minerals that form commonly in the thermal aureole at the contact between felsic calc-alkaline intrusive and calcareous sedimentary rocks.... The bulk of the world's skarn tungsten production and reserves is accounted for by relatively few deposits with greater than 10, 000 tonnes contained metal... 2, record 2, English, - tungsten%20skarn

De manière caractéristique, les skarns tungsténifères sont des lithologies constituées d'associations de minéraux métallifères et de minéraux calco-silicatés de gangue à grain grossier qui se sont formées dans l'auréole de métamorphisme thermique d'intrusions calco-alcalines felsiques, à l'intérieur de roches sédimentaires calcareuses qui jouxtent l'intrusion. 1, record 2, French, - skarn%20tungst%C3%A9nif%C3%A8re
