“…Statistically (K-S test) sample MJ-003 has a more than 95% probability to be drawn from the same population of samples WAVO-9 and WAVO-10, and sample MJ-14 to be drawn from the same population of sample GUA-20. Some differences may be explained by the fact that zircon distribution in rocks is controlled by the type of sediment being deposited (Totten and Hanan, 2007). In general the similarities may be related to a relatively common source and suggests that they share a common paleogeography.…”

“…Compositional information on silt is essential to carry out an unbiased study of fluvial to turbiditic transport and deposition of sediment (Cullers, 1988;Yokohama et al, 1990). It is thus fundamental to implement the appropriate techniques to obtain reliable quantitative mineralogical data on silt-sized sediments (Poppe and Commeau, 1996;Totten and Hanan, 2007). Given the dominance of sedimentary rock outcrops, at least two-thirds of which are mudrocks (Blatt and Jones, 1975), enhanced power to investigate provenance of silt will allow us to reconstruct in a far more complete way geodynamic sceneries of the past.…”

“…This concept could be extended to heavy minerals extracted from shales, which constitute about two thirds of the sedimentary record and contain significant amounts of heavy minerals. To date they are often inferred from bulk chemical approaches [77]. Since the Raman-HMA approach enables systematic analysis of silt-sized minerals, sedimentary provenance analysis in shales opens a promising new field of research.…”

A significant amount of information on sedimentary provenance is encoded in the heavy minerals of a sediment or sedimentary rock. This information is commonly assessed by optically determining the heavy-mineral assemblage, potentially followed by geochemical and/or geochronological analysis of specific heavy minerals. The proposed method of semi-automated heavy-mineral analysis by Raman spectroscopy (Raman-HMA) aims to combine the objective mineral identification capabilities of Raman spectroscopy with high-resolution geochemical techniques applied to single grains. The Raman-HMA method is an efficient and precise tool that significantly improves the comparability of heavy-mineral data with respect to both overall assemblages and individual compositions within solid solution series. Furthermore, the efficiency of subsequent analysis is increased due to identification and spatial referencing of the heavy minerals in the sample slide. The method is tested on modern sediments of the Fulda river (central Germany) draining two Miocene volcanic sources (Vogelsberg, Rhön) resting on top of Lower Triassic siliciclastic sediments. The downstream evolution of the volcanic detritus is documented and the capability to analyze silt-sized grains has revealed an additional eolian source. This capability also poses the possibility of systematically assessing the heavy-mineral assemblages of shales, which are often disregarded in sedimentary provenance studies.
