Preparing genetic classification of ore-bearing areas |
| |
| Abstract: | This is a critical review of theories concerning the relation of tectonics to magmatism and affiliated ore deposits, suggestions concerning the principles of genetic classification of ore deposits, and terminology pertinent to classification. Shatalov presents a spectrum of views expressed predominantly by Russian geologists during the last twenty years. Genetic classification is thought to bring together dialectically all information on the genesis of ore deposits. Besides theoretical aspects, classification is expected to emphasize also an immediate purpose as a guide in prospecting for new mineral deposits.—E. A. Alexandrov. |
