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.

Paragenetic Mode	Score
43 : Shear-induced minerals (including mylonite/slickensides)	50
40 : Regional metamorphism (greenschist, amphibolite, granulite facies)	50
22 : Hydration and low-𝑇 subsurface aqueous alteration (see also #23)	46
16 : Low-𝑇 aqueous alteration of Hadean subaerial lithologies (see also #23)	46
31 : Thermally altered carbonate, phosphate, and iron formations	45
39 : High-𝑃 metamorphism (blueschist, eclogite, ultrahigh 𝑃 facies)	45
9 : Lava/xenolith minerals (hornfels, sanidinite facies)	7
24 : Authigenic minerals in terrestrial sediments (see also #17)	7
10 : Basalt-hosted zeolite minerals	7
49 : Oxic cellular biomineralization (see also #44)	7
