• An Ideal Basin Model
– continental rift basin
– 2-5km coarse-grained permeable clastics
– related volcanics syn-rift phase
– overlain by impermeable cap / seal
• basininal shales / carbonates
• (Lydon, 1983; Large, 1986)
• Zn + Pb source =
– syn-rift clastic sedimentary rocks (Lydon et al., 2000b)
