[The term stratiform] must not be confused with strata-bound which refers to any type or types of orebody, concordant of 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 of strata-bound, as they are ... restricted to the Carboniferous limestone of that region. 4, record 1, English, - stratabound
