En dehors des filons, certains auteurs [...] considèrent d'autres formes réalisées par remplacement : les dépôts massifs et les dépôts disséminés [...] Les dépôts massifs résulteraient d'un remplacement intense ou presque complet de la roche hôtesse. Leurs formes sont très irrégulières, onduleuses et ramifiées. Cependant, très fréquemment, leur localisation préférentielle dans certaines strates leur imprime une allure d'ensemble stratiforme. Souvent le remplacement fut si complet que le dépôt est constitué d'un minerai pur. 3, record 1, French, - gisement%20en%20amas
