Abstract
Massive and disseminated pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pyrite ore replaced a fault zone in Precambrian Carolina Gneiss of Keith (1). Closely following sulfide deposition, vein sulfides and silicates in the wall rock were recrystallized under a rising temperature gradient to coarse-grained unoriented aggregates that contain late pyrite porphyroblasts in pyrrhotite. Boudinage, dilation, and flow structures are common.
