Predicting paragenetic modes of deposit

Green indicates almost certain match based on minerals unique to a certain deposit type. Yellow indicates a possibly poor match, but should not be entirely discounted. Scores > 100 indicate strong confidence.

12 : Hadean hydrothermal subsurface sulfide deposits (see also #33) Unique: Jordisite	100
53 : Other minerals with taphonomic origins	13
