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%style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~93.73%, and Si/Al ratios vary in the range of 34.08style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~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 0.41style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~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 0.50style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~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 1.11style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~1.17, 0.90style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~0.92 and 1.10style="FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-hansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~1.62, V<23 μg/g, and V/Y<2.8; and 5) Si and O isotopes indicate typical characteristics of radiolarian chert.style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt" lang=EN-US>space prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
