Cover Story: Bedded barite–sulfide deposits mined for barite rock near Aberfeldy, Scotland, are deformed and metamorphosed but retain textural, mineral–chemical, and isotopic (S,O) evidence for precipitation from hydrothermal fluids exhaled onto the Ediacaran seafloor. Localized conglomeratic textures suggest mechanical reworking of precipitated barite. The compositional diversity in pyrite and sphalerite reflects varied redox environments and proximity to hydrothermal discharges. Minor modifications occurred during diagenesis, including the growth of cross-cutting crystals of barite and gypsum. Encapsulated barium carbonates indicate early diagenetic barite dissolution with the incorporation of sulfur into pyrite, elevating pyrite δ34S. These deposits provide an example of the classic model of SEDEX mineralization. View this paper
