The Aghbar mine, located in the western central area of the Bou Azzer inlier, displays noticeable mineralogical variations depending on the type of mineralization: filling veins or replacing the host serpentinite. Nickel ores of vein type, Co–Fe ores of serpentinite-hosted type and late Cu ores are the assemblages that we identified. Although there is a good agreement with the general sequence established for the Bou Azzer district, meaningful differences in mineral chronology, composition and temperatures of formation are discussed on the basis of the experimental data. The crystallization sequence of Ni ores reveals a continuous increase in As fugacity up to the formation of Ni-rich skutterudite, with formation temperatures fitting well the field of solid solution experimentally established at 650°–625°C. In contrast, the Co–Fe ores seem to form at a somewhat lower temperature (from ~500° to 400°C), and especially at the lower part of this range, during the crystallization of arsenopyrite. These temperature differences between the two main ores of the deposit can be interpreted by assuming either different temperatures in the two ore-forming fluids or considering differences in the paths followed by similarly hot mineralizing fluids. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.18 2012 MINERALOGY 15 / 26 = 0.577 2012 Q3 T2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fanlo, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0302-2737 Colás, Vanessa (orcid)0000-0002-9615-9168 Subí­as, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5159-3956 2000 120 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
