Köppen climate type:
Stratiform mineralizations hosted by Urgonian carbonate rocks: MVT deposit (diagenetic mineralizations).
Fluorite early dissemination in concordant levels in micritic shelf limestones (Lower Aptian to Middle Albian).
Fluorite deposition is the consequence of brine circulations from a hidden diapir.
Later fluorite precipitation in fractures.
