[Display omitted] •We identify coexisting IOA ore and iron skarn ore in the Beizhan deposit.•IOA and iron skarn ore could form from a single magmatic-hydrothermal system. Multiple types of deposits could form from a single magmatic hydrothermal system. Thus, identification of the temporal, spatial a...
