Dear Mr. Dekonink,

most papers are dealing with barite in stratabound and vein-type deposits. I recommend you to download the following papers from RG.

I hope you will find some of them helpfull to your work.

Dear Mr Dill,

Thank you very much for these references. I see you have worked on barite deposits for a while now. It certainly helps me on my research.

Best regards,

Augustin

Here two books hope they will be helpful
