La actividad metalogénica durante el Tardihercínico en el centro de España: una visión desde cinco localidades tipo

Abstract

The most outstanding metallogenic period in central Spain took place during the so-cal/ed lateHercynian episode. This episode was characterized by widespread extensional conditions resulting from the collapse of an overthickened and overheated Hercynian orogen. A combination of magmatic activity and favorable structures induced hydrothermal activity leading to Sn-W, Pb-Zn, Ag-base metals, base metals-Ba-(F) and Sb-(Au) deposition. Five ore deposits/districts: El Trasquilón (Sn), Linares-La CarolinaTorrecillas (Pb-Zn-Ba-[Ag]), Sierra de Guadarrama (Ba-(F)-[base metals]), El Juncalón (Sb-[Au]), and Hiendelaencina (Ag-base metals) allow characterization of the main geologic features of this metallogenic episode.
