Abstract

All authors which were concerned with Monte Valerio supported pyrometasomatic or pneumatolytic-hydrothermal genetic processes, linked to the Mio-Pliocene acidic magmatic activity. The present authors, on the basis of factual observations directly achieved and/or reported in the existing literature, suggest synsedimentary tin deposition, followed by partial supergene remobilization, and assign a very limited role (if any) to the Mio-Pliocene magmatism and metamorphism on tin distribution.
