Geochemical Characteristics of Siliceous Rocks in Yangtizishan-Moshishan Anatase Ore District, Zhenglanqi County, Inner Mongolia, with Implications for Sedimentary Environment
摘要
///Based on detailed field geological survey and comprehensive studies of major and trace elements as well as silicon and oxygen isotopes, the authors have discussed in this paper the origin and tectonic environment of the thick-bedded and anatase-rich siliceous rocks in the Yangtizishan-Moshishan anatase ore district, Inner Mongolia. The results show that the white thick-bedded siliceous rocks have high contents of SiO2 and Al2O3 and high ratios of Al/( Al+Fe+Mn) and Al2O3/(Al2O3+ Fe2O3). This deposit was most likely formed by the Proterozoic volcanic exhalative process, as evidenced by petrochemical and geochemical characteristics of the anatase-rich siliceous rocks.
