Abstract

Rhythmically banded ore textures at the Nanisivik Pb-Zn-Ag deposit are identical to those commonly referred to as diagenetic crystallization rhythmites or DCRs. The presence of such textures in a demonstrably epigenetic orebody indicates that their formation is not necessarily indicative of early diagenetic sulfide mineralization. Although the development of such textures may occur in near-surface and/or early diagenetic environments, their presence alone is not a compelling constraint on the timing of ore formation.
