///The Bangong Co-Nujiang suture zone is the second huge ultramafic rock belt in Tibet. Based on detailed geochemical research, this paper discusses the genesis and tectonic setting of siliceous rocks in Gerze area, Tibet. Some conclusions have been reached: 1) the w(SiO2) content range is 85.23%~93.73%, and Si/Al ratios vary in the range of 34.08~56.92, indicating that they contain a relatively high proportion of terrigenous muddy sediments; 2) Incompatible elements such as Hf, Pb, Nb, Ta, Th and U are obviously depleted; 3) Al/(Fe+Mn+Al) ratios are 0.41~0.69, suggesting bio-genesis. Ba/Sr and U/Th ratios are lower than 1, and Al-Fe-Mn triangular diagram and Zr-Cr diagram show non-hydrothermal characteristics of siliceous rocks; 4) Al2O3/(Al2O3+Fe2O3) ratios are 0.50~0.77, and chondrite-normalized as well as North American shale-normalized REE patterns show that siliceous rocks are enriched with LREE with weak positive Ce anomaly and no obvious Ce anomalies; (La/Ce)SN, Ce/Ce* and(La/Lu)SN values are 1.11~1.17, 0.90~0.92 and 1.10~1.62, V<23 μg/g, and V/Y<2.8; and 5) Si and O isotopes indicate typical characteristics of radiolarian chert.
