Under normal conditions the trans-fer must be from older to younger formations. (C) Lateral Secretional Ores are those that have been de-posited at the same level as that from which the mineral salts werederived. This transfer may involve downward and upward aswell as lateral moving waters. These ores, in general, are supposedto be concentration deposits from the formation in which theyoccur or from a contiguous formation having the same elevation. S
