The source of sulfur and metals within carbonate-hosted lead-zinc ore deposits is the host carbonate sequence where diagenetic recrystallisation of low-temperature aragonite into a higher-temperature calcite form prompts adsorbed zinc to be metamorphically ejected from the crystal lattice of the carbonate minerals. The zinc then enters the formational solutions and typically forms a chelated bond with hydrocarbons which typically contain sulfur.

Famous quotes containing the word source:
“The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
—Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)
“As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“To not know would be a source of pain.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
