Major and trace-element geochemistry of Late Cretaceous clastic rocks in the Jitai Basin, southeast China

Abstract: Major, trace and rare earth element (REE) geochemistry of the late Cretaceous lower Zhoutian Formation from the Jitai Basin of Southeast China were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis to infer the provenance of the sediments and to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate. The wide range of Sr/Cu ratios point to a fluctuating palaeoclimate, and the negative correlation between the FeO/MnO and Al2O3/MgO ratios and the Sr/Cu ratio indicates that the late Cretaceo… Show more

“…Clastic rocks are important sources of information that can help identify the type of parental rocks (mafic, felsic, intermediate, and quartzite). The composition of clastic rocks has been used to infer provenance, tectonic setting, and intensity of weathering during their times of formation [16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Although present in lower amounts, they play significant roles in natural systems (Kabata-Pendias 2010 ), such as geological processes (e.g. Geibert 2018 ; Yan et al 2021 ) and biochemical reactions (e.g. Gomes et al 2014 ).…”
