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 |
