Geochemistry of Sandstones from the Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation, Dongsheng District, Northeastern Ordos Basin: Implications for Provenance and Tectonic Setting
详细信息   
摘要


     In this paper, detailed petrological and geochemical studies were carried out on the sandstones of Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation from 8 drilling cores in the northeastern Ordos Basin, in order to determine their provenance and tectonic setting. The samples are coarse greywacke with moderate to high SiO2 content and Al2O3/SiO2 ratio, a high content of K2O and a low content of Fe2O3, MgO and TiO2, which implies that these sandstones are in felsic, lacking of mafic materials. The rocks are enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs, such as K, Rb, Sr and Ba), and depleted in high field strength elements (HFSEs, such as Nb, Ta, Ti and P).The features indicate that the source region have affinity of subduction-related tectonic setting.
