Geochemical Characteristics And Rare-Earth Element Distributions Of Kozbudaklar W-Skarn Deposit (Bursa, Western Anatolia), Ayşe Orhan, Halim Mutlu

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The Kozbudaklar W-skarn deposit occurs along the contact between Eocene Topuk Granitoid and Triassic İnönü Marble in Tavşanlı Zone. In the study area, the endoskarn is represented by plagioclase-pyroxene and exoskarn zone which is characterized by pyroxene, pyroxene-garnet, garnet and garnet-pyroxene skarn facies. According to major oxide element contents, exoskarn is of calcic character. In pyroxene and pyroxene-garnet skarn facies, tungsten and molybdenum abundances vary between 434-5507 ppm (mean 2330 ppm) and 8 - 90 ppm (mean 40 ppm). In the garnet and garnet-pyroxene skarns, concentrations of these elements are 271 - 7616 ppm (mean 2486 ppm) and 7 - …
