Pour expliquer l'existence de filons métallifères loin de toute manifestation volcanique ou plutonique, il a fallu faire appel [...] à des régénérations de minéralisations existant dans le socle [...] Pourtant, l'origine de ces filons métallifères s’explique aisément à partir d’une minéralisation sédimentaire par sécrétion latérale sous l'influence de circulations d’eau superficielle ou d’imbibition. 5, record 2, French, - filon%20m%C3%A9tallif%C3%A8re

Lorsqu’un filon métallique affleure à la surface du sol, les minéraux sulfurés ont été attaqués à la partie supérieure par les eaux d’infiltration, chargées d’oxygène et de gaz carbonique et transformés en oxydes métalliques [...] 4, record 2, French, - filon%20m%C3%A9tallif%C3%A8re
