Subject field(s)
  • Various Metal Ores
DEF

A mineral deposit that is confined to a stratigraphic unit.

CONT

Stratiform gold deposits, though possessing some of the features of mesothermal deposits and other disseminated stratabound deposits, are more similar to other types of stratiform deposits.

OBS

Strata-bound Deposits. ... The term strata-bound is applied, irrespective of their morphology, to those deposits which are restricted to a fairly limited stratigraphical range within the strata of a particular region.

OBS

... the stratiform deposits of the Zambian Copperbelt are all developed at about the same stratigraphic horizon in the Roan Series... and these... may be described as strata-bound. Clearly, stratiform deposits can be strata-bound but strata-bound ores are not necessarily stratiform.

OBS

PHR

Stratabound ore deposit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minerais divers (Mines métalliques)
DEF

Gîte minéral présentant l'allure d'une strate.

CONT

Les gisements liés à des «strates» sont généralement des gîtes stratiformes. Mais il peut exister aussi, associés à des niveaux lithologiques, des gîtes métamorphiques (skarns) ou magmatiques, comme les gisements de platine d'Afrique du Sud dans les cumulats ultrabasiques.

CONT

Il s'agit de minéraux dispersés (inclusions) ou concentrés en amas ou en véritables lits (gisements «stratoïdes»). [...] Ces divers grands «types» de minéralisations ne s'associent pas indifféremment à n'importe quelle roche basique ou ultrabasique. Les unes se lient à des roches ultrabasiques [...] les autres à des roches basiques plus ou moins feldspathiques [...]

OBS

gisement stratoïde : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
