Résumé : The sedimentary origin of the Ba-Zn-Pb deposit of Chaudfontaine is supported by S-isotopic measurements on baryte. However, the Pb-isotopic data on galenas are not obviously consistent with this conclusion. In order to reconcile the isotopic data on all the Belgian ore deposits, it is proposed to attribute a common source for Ba, Zn and Pb for most of the deposits (vein-type ores as well) occurring in the Herve synclinorium. -A.-M.F.
