Origin of the Ore Deposits at Gilman and Leadville, Colorado

Tommy B. Thompson, David W. Beaty, C. W. Naeser, C. G. Cunningham

Abstract

The Gilman and Leadville districts in central Colorado contain zinc-lead-silver-gold-copper deposits that have replaced Paleozoic carbonate rocks, principally within the Dyer and Leadville Dolomites. We interprete new stable isotopic fission track data to indicate that the ore was deposited during the mid-Tertiary from acidic hydrothermal solutions at 300–400°C.
