Tectonic setting of Late Cretaceous precious metal and mercury metallogenesis, Kuskokwim Mineral Belt, southwestern Alaska
A major episode of epigenetic mineral deposit formation occurred in Late Cretaceous time in what is now southwestern Alaska. Several large-scale tectonic factors came together during a relatively short time frame, leading to a widespread pulse of magmatism and mineralization at ~70 Ma. Gold and merc...
