The series editor's foreword provides the opportunity to give the
rationale for a series on the evolution of ore fields. In brief, it
meets a need that I, an explorationist, perceived as I became
involved in a multidisciplinary explo ration program in the late
1960s. We were looking for mines while prospecting at the ore-field
scale. The practicalities demand that we know more about the ore
field and that we do not just study individual deposits, the
analogy being the three blind men who attempted to describe the
elephant as they felt the trunk, ear, or leg. Two considerations in
identifying ore fields are the different perception as one changes
scale from orebody to ore field and the problem of stratigraphic
classification and nomenclature in terms appropriate to
metallogenesis. Two workers, Brock (1972) and Carey (1976), have
been particularly con cerned with the different appreciation
brought about by a change in scale."
