Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We enthusiastically invite papers that integrate at least two or more different radiogenic isotope chronometers used to define ore genesis of any deposit type. Ideally, the papers will have chronologic data measured in ores and silicate/host minerals and/or rocks. Geochronologic studies of this nature will illustrate the importance of the following hypotheses regarding the genesis of ore deposits: The duration of mineralization, the importance of singular events, the importance of multiple superimposed events, and timing of mineralization within geologically complicated areas. Several chronometers also provide sources of magmas and metals, and these ideas are encouraged to be integrated within the argument.
