Abstract

Sedimentcovered oceanic rifts represent a tectonic set­ting for economically important ancient sea-floor massive ulfide deposits (Goodfellow et al., l993a; Slack, 1993). In general, ancient sea-floor sulfide deposits hosted by sedi­mentary rocks are fewer in number and an order of mag­nitude larger than deposits hosted solely by volcanic rocks.
