Geochemical signatures of recent bar deposits in the Tista river, Bangladesh: Implications to provenance, paleoweathering and tectonics

Abstract: Petrography and geochemical composition of sediments is a sensitive indicator which archives the signature of a previous record of a source rock and depositional environments in a basin.  This study deals with the elemental geochemistry of recent bar deposits of the Tista river in the north western part of Bangladesh to evaluate their provenance, paleoweathering and tectonic setting. Petrographically, the sediments are rich in quartz (70%), whereas feldspar and lithic fragments are found about 8% and 3%, respe… Show more

“…The ICV values in the study area ranged from 0.93 to 1.55, with an average of 1.26, which was much higher than those of PAAS and UCC (Table 1). The high concentrations of TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , MnO, MgO, and P 2 O 5 compared with UCC and PAAS, as well as the positive association between these elements in most drainage basins, corroborate the presence of mafic sources containing heavy and accessory minerals (such as amphibole, pyroxene, biotite, ilmenite, hematite, sphene, rutile, and garnet) [84,99]. These results revealed the abundance of chlorite minerals along with mafic, heavy, and accessory minerals in the river sand.…”

“…In this study, several ratios of selected major elements, the Pearson correlation coefficient matrix, and the index of compositional variability (ICV) were used to analyze and interpret provenance [32,35,40,[84][85][86][87][88][89].…”
