| | | manto factor | Explanation:
According to 'Rocks & Minerals', Sept-Oct, 2003, by John Rakovan;
The lexicon of terms used to describe mineral deposits is grounded in simple morphology as well as genetic mechanisms of deposits. A common emplacement style for ore deposits is known as a manto. The origin of the term manto is the Spanish word for blanket or mantle, and so manto and manto-type deposits are terms used to describe flat-lying, pancake-shaped to elongate concentrations of minerals of hydrothermal origin (see fig.). |
