Content Description

The Erzgebirge/Krušné hory region is a strongly eroded Hercynian mountain range with the present surface dipping rather flat towards the NNW and steeper to the SSE where it is bordered by the Tertiary Ohře/Eger rift.
The highest ranges are close to the German/Czech border.
This volume contains selected papers dealing with ore deposits of the
world famous Erzgebirge/Krusné hory region and specific aspects of
metallogenesis. Mineral deposit research carried out in this ore
district during the last centuries had implications far beyond Germany
and the Czech Republic. The present volume results from an idea born
in 1990 by Professor Dietrich Klemm (Munich/Germany) and Professor Ian
Plimer (Melbourne/Australia) who have contacted many researchers
working in the Erzgebirge during the last decades. As this volume is
strictly related to mineral deposits, papers dealing mainly with the
petrology and tectonic setting of the granites have not been
included.
