摘要

Major and trace element, including REE, concentrations of the Doushantuo cap carbonate (c. 635 Ma) in South China show enrichment in Fe, Mn and redox-sensitive elements and slightly negative Ce anomalies, indicating anoxic environments during cap carbonate precipitation. High FeT/Al ratios but very low concentration of extractable pyrites suggest ferruginous rather than euxinic conditions. The REE + Y patterns of samples show enrichment of heavy REE (HREE), positive Eu anomalies and positive Y anomalies, implying a hydrothermal origin for elevated concentration of Fe, Mn and redox-sensitive elements. The results suggest that ferruginous Ediacaran oceans may have rooted from hydrothermally induced iron accumulation in severely glaciated Cryogenian oceans.
