DOLOMITE FRONTS AND ASSOCIATED ZINC-LEAD MINERALIZATION, USA
Abstract
This paper provides previously unpublished drill core and mapping evidence of the spatial relationship between regional dolomitization and Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization in the midcontinent of the United States. Dolomitization is discussed for several key carbonate units and their contained MVT mineralization. This more complete picture of the relationship between regional dolomitization and mineralization provides constraints on models for MVT mineralization and serves as an exploration guide for new deposits.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Harper and Borrok (2007) reported that the largest zinc and lead deposits of the midcontinent of the U.S. do occur at the last position of the dolomitization front, against the undolomitized limestone.
“In fact Harper and Borrok (2007) have reported that the largest zinc and lead deposits of the midcontinent of the U.S. do occur at the last position of the dolomitization front, against the undolomitized limestone.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
