Entry: sediment-hosted

URI: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/MineralDepositGroupValue/sedimentHosted

Sediment-hosted deposits can be divided into two major subtypes. The first subtype is clastic-dominated lead-zinc ores, which are hosted in shale, sandstone, siltstone, or mixed clastic rocks, or occur as carbonate replacement, within a clastic-dominated sedimentary rock sequence. This subtype includes deposits that have been traditionally referred to as sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits. The second subtype of sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits is the Mississippi Valley-type that occurs in platform carbonate sequences, typically in passive-margin tectonic settings.
