Cornet Hill, Hunedoara, Hunedoara Co., Romania

Vârful Cornetu

High-temperature skarns from Cornet Hill are developed at the contact between a quartz monzonitic – monzodioritic body of Paleocene – Ypresian age and Tithonian limestones. The skarns have undergone a late metasomatic event, and subsequent hydrothermal and weathering overprints.
