Abstract:

Re-Os isotope measurements of sulfide minerals from 10 occurrences that span a radial distance of over 200 Km ; serve to geochemically link epithermal mineralization in Pennsylvania to an Eocene event. The most likely geologic ; event that could have influenced the area during the Eocene is the Chesapeake Bay impact event. The significance ; of the discovery is twofold: to date no epithermal mineralization has been linked to the Chesapeake Bay impact nor ; has the process been clearly identified throughout the region. The results effect road construction plans for PA, MD, ; and VA near the meteor impact site because mineralization could occur in any age strata that lie along fracture traces ; identified in this contribution.
