abstract = {The Rammelsberg sulfide deposit is classically considered as a SEDEX-type deposit. The origin
of SEDEX-type massive sulfides links with the evolution of their hosting basins. They frequently
constitute the source for the metal-enriched basinal brines transported afterwards as mineralizing
hydrothermal fluids. This study revisits previous data concerning the analysis of the basin that hosts the
Rammelsberg deposit, the Goslar basin, updating its subsidence analysis and providing new tectonic
and total subsidence curves from two different paleogeographic locations: the depocenter and the
basin margin. The basin evolution is defined by five stages depicting different subsidence intensity
and mechanisms for each of these locations. The stratigraphic position of Rammelsberg coincides with
a drastic change in the basin evolution. A rapid tectonic subsidence event is proposed as a trigger
mechanism for hydrothermal activity. The paleogeographic location and the relation between supply of
mineralizing fluids and sedimentation ratewere critical for the concentration or dissemination of sulfides.},
