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.

Located approximately 20 km west of Brad, and 40 km northwest of Deva.

Note: Coordinates estimated from map in Pascal et al. (2001).
