Arizona Geological Society: Characterization of Contrasting Ore-Related Fluid Systems in the Paradox Basin Evolution
A long history of fluid-rock interaction in the Paradox Basin has resulted in geologically diverse products caused by a range of fluid sources and drivers. The La Sal district is an example within the basin of a locus of fluid systems that formed U(-V) and Cu(-Ag) deposits, salt wall-proximal bleaching, hydrocarbon-induced pyritization, and carbonate-stable alteration....
