文摘

Trace element content (& their ratios) of sedimentary pyrite in the Barney Creek Formation was studied using LA-ICP-MS. Pyrite trace element patterns assists in exploration of SEDEX deposits (high Zn, Tl & low Ni, Co in mineralised shales). Variability of redox sensitive elements in mineralised black shales cannot be used to interpret Paleoocean chemistry.
