Abstract:
    We have determined chemical abundances and radial velocities for stars in 
    the field of the {zeta} Sculptoris cluster. We find that the cluster metal
    deficiency previously found from UBV photometry is not supported; the 
    cluster overall metallicity, [Fe/H]=+0.23, is about 70% higher than the 
    solar value. The chemical abundance pattern appears unusual: the Ni/Fe 
    ratio is lower than typical for field stars with similar Fe and Ca 
    abundances, and the cluster may also be deficient in the {alpha} element 
    Si. For its age, the cluster is unusually far from the galactic disk, 
    =~240pc. The adopted heliocentric cluster radial velocity, +3.9km/s, shows
    that it is close to its maximum distance from the galactic plane. We 
    suggest that the {zeta}Sculptoris cluster was formed in the galactic disk 
    45Myr ago by the interaction of a high velocity cloud with the 
    interstellar medium, and that its formation may be connected with that of 
    Gould's Belt.
