Quartz Vein Formation and Deformation during Porphyry Cu Deposit Formation: A Microstructural and Geochemical Analysis of the Butte, Montana, Ore Deposit

AbstractHydrothermal quartz veins from the Butte deposit display euhedral and mottled cathodoluminescent (CL) textures that reflect the growth and deformation history of quartz crystals. A CL-euhedral texture consists of oscillatory dark-light zonations that record primary precipitat...
