Deep-marine brine seeps stimulate microbial nitrogen cycling: implications for the formation of sediment-hosted ore deposits
Deep-marine brine seeps in the modern ocean are considered analogues for settings that favoured the formation of sedimentary-exhalative zinc and lead deposits in deep time. Microbial activity plays an important role in the accumulation of ore minerals, meaning that the extent of mineralization is at...
