Abstract

During the Variscan orogeny and the early platform stage numerous ore mineralizations, some of which have been mined to date (e.g. fluorite) or explored by galleries and shafts (e.g. uranium) revolved in the NE Bavarian basement. These mineralizations have been subdivided into four categories: stratiform,stratabound, thrustboundr granite-related, unconformity-related. The first type shows a bimodal curve in the frequency distribution with a first-order maximum during early Paleozoic and a second-order maximum during Permo-Triassic. Type II is almost exclusively restricted to the Lower Carboniferous, during which the major tectonic movements took place in that region. Type III ore deposits came up at the turn Carboniferous - Permian and type IV commenced subsequent to the peneplanation of the uplifted Variscan basement.
