Mineralogical and sulfur isotopic evidence for the incursion of evaporites in the Jinshandian skarn Fe deposit, Edong district, Eastern China

Evaporites have played important role in the formation of diverse metallic ore deposits, especially in the case of magmatic–hydrothermal deposits. However, the relationship between evaporites and skarn Fe deposit remains poorly constrained. In this contribution, we present new sulfur isotope data of pyrite, as well as the composition of halogen-rich minerals (scapolite and amphibole) in the Jinshandian skarn Fe deposit. The data are used to...
