Telethermal Deposit

a type of hydrothermal mineral deposit formed as a result of the precipitation of a mineral mass from hot mineralized aqueous solutions flowing at a shallow depth below the earth’s surface and having a temperature of 50°–200°C. Telethermal deposits are usually sheetlike; less often, they constitute veined bodies in which the ore has a relatively simple mineral composition, as in some antimony-ore, mercury-ore, barite, and fluorite deposits. Telethermal deposits were identified by the American geologist L. Graton in 1933. Since 1969, telethermal deposits of lead, zinc, and copper ores have been assigned to a special class of stratiform deposits.
