Petrogenesis and Tectonomagmatic Evolution of the Neoproterozoic Jabal Sayid Metavolcanic Rocks, Arabian Shield, Saudi Arabia: Implications for Arc Magmatism and VMS Mineralization
The Jabal Sayid metavolcanic succession in the western Arabian Shield records Neoproterozoic arc magmatism and hosts a major VMS Cu-Zn-Au deposit in Saudi Arabia. This study investigates 31 volcanic samples, ranging from basalt to rhyolite, using petrography and whole-rock geochemistry to evaluate their petrogenesis, e...
