Interpretation of Mineralization in the Western Carpathians (Polish Segment)—A Tectonic Mélange Approach

Quartz, carbonates and other minerals as e.g., realgar are present in veins and caverns in sedimentary rocks in the Western Carpathians. In the Polish segment, they have been characterized from the mineralogical, petrologic, and geochemical points of view, as well as fluid inclusions. Their characte...
