Reevaluating Fluid Sources During Skarn Formation: An Assessment of the Empire Mountain Skarn, Sierra Nevada, USA
Abstract Oxygen isotope analyses of skarn minerals have long been used to fingerprint the variable fluid sources involved in skarn formation. The Empire Mountain skarn of the Sierra Nevada (California, USA) batholith is identified as a low‐δ18O skarn and is thought to form due to surface fluid invol...
