The uranium deposit 'Krunkelbach' in the Southern Black Forest, Federal Republic of Germany
Description
The hydrothermal uranium deposit of the Krunkelbach valley close to the village of Menzenschwand lies in the southern Black Forest of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is still being explored from surface and underground. The deposit is in the contact zone between the Variscan Baerhalde granite - a typical two-mica granite - and the gneiss massif of the Feldberg. The ore veins strike E and NW. The mineralization was localized by a well developed NNW striking fault zone. The main uranium mineral is pitchblende of different generations. A great number of secondary uranium minerals have been recognized. Gangue material consists of various generations of carnelian or jasper, barite and fluorite. (author)
