Redox state of subducted sediments controls porphyry copper mineralization along the Tethyan belt

Abstract The Tethyan orogenic belt hosts numerous world-class porphyry copper deposits, with most forming during the Cenozoic continental collision and fewer during earlier Mesozoic subduction. To understand this pattern, we integrate redox indicators from detrital zircon grains with constraints fro...
