Tin-bearing magnetite with nanoscale Mg-Si defects: Evidence for the early stages of mineralization in a skarn system
Tin-bearing magnetite is reported from several types of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits. The question of whether tin is incorporated within solid solution, as Sn4+, or as nanoinclusions remains open, however. We report a micron- to nanoscale investigation of Sn (Mg, Si)-bearing magnetite from ser...
