Abstract
Geochemical analyses and microscopic observations of sphalerite rhythmites of the Trzebionka mine, in the strata-bound Pb-Zn district of Upper Silesia-Cracow, show that they are very similar to diagenetic crystallization rhythmites of other strata-bound deposits in shallow water carbonate facies. The presence of this type of texture can therefore not be used as an argument for an epi-genetic origin of this district; rather, some sort of normal diagenetic evolution must have produced these textures, reflecting a clear diagenetic crystallization differentiation.
