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
36 : Carbonatites, kimberlites, and related igneous rocks	50
9 : Lava/xenolith minerals (hornfels, sanidinite facies)	50
6 : Secondary asteroid phases	50
4 : Primary chondrule phases	50
