Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina Inesperada, Yacimiento Pardos, Pardos, Guadalajara, Castilla La Mancha, España
Open-pit working on iron oxide deposits used for the cement and pigment industry.
The iron (limonite) deposit is the product of the alteration of primary carbonates.
It is located in the Cerro Majadillas, near the Estrella Mine.
Associated with oxides are observed copper ores (mainly chalcopyrite and its products of alteration).
Accurate classification of carbonates in this field presents certain difficulties for presenting the zoned crystals with varying Mg:Fe ratios (dolomite-ankerite); for convenience, they are classified as dolomites with more or less high Fe content.
