Abstract
Fluid inclusion and stable isotope data on the Palaeozoic basement-hosted Peyrebrune (Zn, F) Iodedeposit (Albigeois region), indicate that mineralization originated from circulation of basinal-derived brines during distinct successive Mesozoïc extensional events. These new data, set in a regional context, suggest the occurrence of two distinct evaporite-bearing sedimentary basins, now concealed by the Tertiary cover: to the south, an organic matter-rich basin leading to economic Zn-sulfide deposition, and to the north an organic matter-free basin, leading to a small Cu-sulfide deposition. During the fluorite episode, the two basins differentiate by the development of the E-W fracturation: minor in the southern basin, major in the northern one.
