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