Concentration ratios of Hf, Zr, and REE between zircon, apatite, and liquid were determined for three igneous compositions: two andesites and a diorite. The concentration ratios of these elements between zircon and corresponding liquid can approximate the partition coefficient. Although the concentration ratios between apatite and andesite groundmass can be considered as partition coefficients, those for the apatite in the diorite may deviate from the partition coefficients. The HREE partition coefficients between zircon and liquid are very large (100 for Er to 500 for Lu), and the Hf partition coefficient is even larger. The REE partition coefficients between apatite and liquid are convex upward, and large (D=10–100), whereas the Hf and Zr partition coefficients are less than 1. The large differences between partition coefficients of Lu and Hf for zircon-liquid and for apatite-liquid are confirmed. These partition coefficients are useful for petrogenetic models involving zircon and apatite. 相似文献

Sand bars of the three important rivers of the Gangetic Alluvium, namely the Ganga, Yamuna and Son are investigated. Megaripples of undulatory type are the most abundant bed forms present, and are responsible for the development of large-scale cross-bedding, the most common bedding structure present in the area. Giant ripples, with superimposed megaripples are recorded in one sand bar in the Yamuna River. On a steeply sloping point bar in the Ganga River, delta-like lobes have produced foreset bedding oriented towards the main channel, at right angles to the direction of the main flow. 相似文献

The Chauki, Mandi, Manil colony, Changpur, Khawas and Naghal areas are situated in between the limbs of Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis (HKS). HKS is the part of Himalayan fold and thrust belt that lies in sub-Himalayan domain. Seismically, this is an active zone. Early Miocene to Recent sedimentary rocks are exposed in the area. The stratigraphic units in Kashmir basin are the cover sequence of the Indian plate. These non-marine lithostratigraphic units are molasse deposits formed by the deposition of sediments coming from north carried by the rivers originated from higher Himalayas. Murree Formation of early Miocene age is the oldest rock unit in the studied area. Siwalik Group; Chinji, Nagri, Dhok Pathan and Soan formations of early Miocene to Pliocene and Mirpur Formation of Pleistocene age is exposed. The area is structurally deformed into folds and faults. The Sarda Sarhota syncline, Mandi syncline and Fagosh anticline are major folds in the area. These folds are isoclinal to open in nature, southwest or northeast verging and thrust direction is southwest or northeast. Major reverse faults are Riasi fault and Fagosh fault. The Changpur fault is a normal fault. Primary sedimentary structures present in the area are load cast, ripups and cross bedding. The facing of beds have been marked on the basis of these sedimentary structures. 相似文献

The earthquakes and tsunami on November 15, 2006 and January 13, 2007, near Simushir Island are described. Long-term and short-term precursors of the phenomena are discussed. A joint analysis of the seismological and geodetic data provided reliable interpretation of the source mechanisms of the earthquakes. The actions of the tsunami warning personnel are analyzed. Extensive experimental data on the tsunami occurrence at different sites of the Pacific Ocean are presented. The tsunami of November 15, 2006, was numerically modeled using coseismic vertical displacements of the ocean bottom calculated from GPS data. The observed and calculated data on the maximal tsunami run up are compared. 相似文献

Most sulfide-rich magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits form in dynamic magmatic systems by partial melting S-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren to weakly-mineralized immiscible Fe sulfide xenomelts into which Ni-Cu-Co-PGE partition from the magma. Some exceptionally-thick magmatic Cr deposits may form by partial melting oxide-bearing wall rocks with variable degrees of assimilation of the miscible silicate and volatile components, and generation of barren Fe ± Ti oxide xenocrysts into which Cr-Mg-V ± Ti partition from the magma. The products of these processes are variably preserved as skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles, which play important to critical roles in ore genesis, transport, localization, and/or modification. Incorporation of barren xenoliths/autoliths may induce small amounts of sulfide/chromite to segregate, but incorporation of sulfide xenomelts or oxide xenocrysts with dynamic upgrading of metal tenors (PGE > Cu > Ni > Co and Cr > V > Ti, respectively) is required to make significant ore deposits. Silicate xenomelts are only rarely preserved, but will be variably depleted in chalcophile and ferrous metals. Less dense felsic xenoliths may aid upward sulfide transport by increasing the effective viscosity and decreasing the bulk density of the magma. Denser mafic or metamorphosed xenoliths may also increase the effective viscosity of the magma, but may aid downward sulfide transport by increasing the bulk density of the magma. Sulfide wets olivine, so olivine xenocrysts may act as filter beds to collect advected finely dispersed sulfide droplets, but other silicates and xenoliths may not be wetted by sulfides. Xenovolatiles may retard settling of – or in some cases float – dense sulfide droplets. Reactions of sulfide melts with felsic country rocks may generate Fe-rich skarns that may allow sulfide melts to fractionate to more extreme Cu-Ni-rich compositions. Xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles are more likely to be preserved in cooler basaltic magmas than in hotter komatiitic magmas, and are more likely to be preserved in less dynamic (less turbulent) systems/domain/phases than in more dynamic (more turbulent) systems/domains/phases. Massive to semi-massive Ni-Cu-PGE and Cr mineralization and xenoliths are often localized within footwall embayments, dilations/jogs in dikes, throats of magma conduits, and the horizontal segments of dike-chonolith and dike-sill complexes, which represent fluid dynamic traps for both ascending and descending sulfides/oxides. If skarns, residues, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and/or xenovolatiles are present, they provide important constraints on ore genesis and they are valuable exploration indicators, but they must be included in elemental and isotopic mass balance calculations. 相似文献

The Homestead kimberlite was emplaced in lower Cretaceous marine shale and siltstone in the Grassrange area of central Montana. The Grassrange area includes aillikite, alnoite, carbonatite, kimberlite, and monchiquite and is situated within the Archean Wyoming craton. The kimberlite contains 25–30 modal% olivine as xenocrysts and phenocrysts in a matrix of phlogopite, monticellite, diopside, serpentine, chlorite, hydrous Ca–Al–Na silicates, perovskite, and spinel. The rock is kimberlite based on mineralogy, the presence of atoll-textured groundmass spinels, and kimberlitic core-rim zoning of groundmass spinels and groundmass phlogopites.
Garnet xenocrysts are mainly Cr-pyropes, of which 2–12% are G10 compositions, crustal almandines are rare and eclogitic garnets are absent. Spinel xenocrysts have MgO and Cr2O3 contents ranging into the diamond inclusion field. Mg-ilmenite xenocrysts contain 7–11 wt.% MgO and 0.8–1.9 wt.% Cr2O3, with (Fe+3/Fetot) from 0.17–0.31. Olivine is the only obvious megacryst mineral present. One microdiamond was recovered from caustic fusion of a 45-kg sample.
Upper-mantle xenoliths up to 70 cm size are abundant and are some of the largest known garnet peridotite xenoliths in North America. The xenolith suite is dominated by dunites, and harzburgites containing garnet and/or spinel. Granulites are rare and eclogites are absent. Among 153 xenoliths, 7% are lherzolites, 61% are harzburgites, 31% are dunites, and 1% are orthopyroxenites. Three of 30 peridotite xenoliths that were analysed are low-Ca garnet–spinel harzburgites containing G10 garnets. Xenolith textures are mainly coarse granular, and only 5% are porphyroclastic.
Xenolith modal mineralogy and mineral compositions indicate ancient major-element depletion as observed in other Wyoming craton xenolith assemblages, followed by younger enrichment events evidenced by tectonized or undeformed veins of orthopyroxenite, clinopyroxenite, websterite, and the presence of phlogopite-bearing veins and disseminated phlogopite. Phlogopite-bearing veins may represent kimberlite-related addition and/or earlier K-metasomatism.
Xenolith thermobarometry using published two-pyroxene and Al-in-opx methods suggest that garnet–spinel peridotites are derived from 1180 to 1390 °C and 3.6 to 4.7 GPa, close to the diamond–graphite boundary and above a 38 mW/m2 shield geotherm. Low-Ca garnet–spinel harzburgites with G10 garnets fall in about the same T and P range. Most spinel peridotites with assumed 2.0 GPa pressure are in the same T range, possibly indicating heating of the shallow mantle. Four of 79 Cr diopside xenocrysts have P–T estimates in the diamond stability field using published single-pyroxene P–T calculation methods. 相似文献

Secondary precipitates (iron oxide, calcite, etc.) are currently observed in cold-climate Pleistocene deposits. Some have micro- and ultrastructures quite different from precipitates of vadose, phreatic and biogenic origin, and seem to have originated by freezing processes. The microstructures of calcite coatings from a Pleistocene cryopediment in the Mendoza Pre-Cordillera, from a Lower Pleistocene cryogenic slope deposit in Western Transbaikalia and from the present active layer in Antarctica are described. They show similar patterns: fibrous crystals often consisting of piles of platelets, some with internal holes, assembled in millimetre-scale fringes on the lower face of clasts. Observational (mainly fabric) evidence confirms that such peculiar crystals are formed during freezing. The features are unknown in other climates and, when found in past sediments, can be diagnostic of cryogenic palaeoenvironments. 相似文献

Conceptual models are applied during the various stages of the scientific method and are part of the numerous techniques employed in geologic field, laboratory and interpretative work. Uses of models are manifold, e.g., to show complex relationships, to help in memorizing complicated phenomena and in formulizing meaningful research programmes, to improve critical appraisal of hypotheses and theories, to compel investigators to consider all parameters and all possible alternative interpretations, to visualize phenomena in teaching, to prepare flow charts in computer geology, and to predict concealed and unexplored stratigraphic sections.Nine conceptual models are offered here which cover: (1) hierarchy of factors determining the origin of sediments; (2) depositional sedimentary environments; (3) limestone environments; (4) reef genesis; (5) soil genesis; (6) chemical sedimentary ores; (7) placer sedimentary ores, exemplified by: (8) the Witwatersrand uranium—gold deposits; and (9) an idealized stratigraphic-environmental model. 相似文献

Trace-element determinations of 15 coal samples have been made in order to know their distribution, behaviour and associations with the organic and inorganic fractions in the coal. The coal samples have been systematically collected in stratigraphic sequences so that the vertical variation of the trace-elements can be studied. The elements determined by spectographic analysis are W, V, Cr, Sc, Y, Cu, Co, Pb, Be, Ni and Ba. The results indicate that the concentration of trace elements in these coals varies greatly from bottom to top sections. The elements V and Co are extremely poor in the top and middle sections, whereas in the bottom section they are fairly distributed. Be is extremely poor in the bottom section, and fairly distributed in the middle and top sections. W, Sc, Y have poor concentration in the bottom section as compared to the middle and top sections. Ni is fairly distributed in the bottom section whereas its concentration is poor in the middle and top sections. Cr and Cu are fairly distributed in the bottom, middle and top sections. Ba has unusually high concentration in all the sections.It appears from the present study that W, Cr, Sc, Y and Be are concentrated more in silicate minerals (clay, quartz, etc.) associated with coal, and the elements like , Co, and Ni have intimate relation with organic matters in coal and are present as organometallic compounds as well as absorbed cations. Cu and Pb which are present in the coals are derived from the inorganic matter, mainly from the pyrites, whereas W has affinity with carbonate minerals in the coals. The Ba is mainly associated with the inoraanic matter of coal; its unusually high concentration indicates association with carbonates, clays and other silicate minerals. 相似文献

Terrestrial geochemistry of Cd,Bi, Tl,Pb, Zn and Rb 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
About 2000 common magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and rockforming minerals contained in 465 individual samples have been analyzed for 6 trace metals and potassium with high precision, mainly by combined distillation and AAS methods. Estimates of average abundances in the continental crust are: 98 ppb Cd. 82 ppb Bi. 490 ppb Tl, 14.8 ppm Pb, 77 ppm Zn and 98 ppm Rb (K/Rb: 223). These averages are close to the mean concentrations of the 6 elements in sedimentary and in low to medium grade metamorphic rocks. In relation to the upper mantle the earth's crust has very effectively accumulated Rb, Pb, Tl (and Bi). Cd and Zn are equally distributed between the upper and lower crust. Bi, Tl, Rb, Pb and K are accumulated in the upper relative to the lower continental crust by factors between 3.5 and 1.4. This is mainly due to higher concentrations in granites and lower abundances in granulites relative to gneisses and schists. The five metals form large ions with bulk coefficients less than one for the partition between metamorphic rocks and anatectic granitic melts. The major hosts of Rb, Tl, Pb and Bi in rocks are minerals with 8- to 12-coordinated sites such as mica, K-feldspar, plagioclase etc. (except for some preference of Bi for sphene and apatite). As examples of significant correlations those of Pb with Tl, K, Bi and Rb in mafic rocks and of Bi with K, Rb, Tl and Pb in sedimentary rocks can be reported. In granites and gneisses hydroxyl containing Fe2+-Mg-silicates are major host minerals for Zn and Cd. Except in some carbonate rocks Cd has no preference for Ca minerals. 相似文献

The chemical associations of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in four mine soil samples from the Amizour-Bejaia Pb/Zn mine (Algeria) have been investigated by a five-step sequential extraction procedure. Although Cd preferentially binds to carbonates, Cu, Pb, and Zn are mainly associated with the organic and reducible fractions. Batch adsorption experiments with either mono- or multi-metallic solutions are described with the Freundlich isotherm model. Whatever the nature of the soil sample, the sorption behavior for each given metal except Pb is very similar, indicating that the binding sites at the soil surface are progressively occupied by the metal from the solution. On each soil sample, the decreasing order of sorption can be established as Pb >> Cu > Cd > Zn. When the four metals are simultaneously applied to each soil sample, their specific behavior is strongly affected by their interactions and/or competition for the available surface sites: we generally observed isotherm curves with a slight maximum before the plateau at higher solution concentration. Although Cu is only slightly affected by the other metals, in the case of Pb, Cd, and Zn, the sorbed amounts strongly decreased. 相似文献

Extremely pure samples of clinopyroxene phenocrysts from two volcanic rocks have been analyzed for K, Rb, Cs, Sr and Ba. In conjunction with matrix concentrations, partition coefficients are obtained which are in the range 0.001–0.004 for K, Rb, Cs and Ba. These values are lower than those in the literature by factors of 6–100 but are in good agreement with values determined experimentally at pressures of 15–30 kb by Shimizu (Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta38, 1974). Values for partition coefficients measured on separates of impure or cloudy pyroxenes from these same rocks were higher and similar to those in the literature. We suggest this effect is related to ‘trapping,’ during crystal growth, of liquid which is enriched in the larger ions (such as Rb and Cs) due to lack of diffusion equilibrium in the liquid. Partition coefficient values for olivine and plagioclase from one of these same rocks were also determined. 相似文献

The sparkling waters from the area of Kyselka near Karlovy Vary at the western slope of the Doupovske hory, Bohemia (Czech Republic), and CO2-poor waters from two underground boreholes at Jachymov, Krusne hory, Bohemia, have been studied with the aim of characterizing the distribution of rare earth elements, yttrium, and H, O, C, Sr, Nd, Pb isotopes during the low-temperature alteration processes of the host rocks. Additionally, leaching experiments were performed at pH 3 on the granitic and basaltic host rocks from Kyselka and the granite of Jachymov. All REE patterns of the granite- and the basalt-derived waters from the Kyselka area are different from those of their source rocks and the leachates of the latter. This elucidates the inhomogeneous distribution of REE and Y among the solid phases in the altered magmatic rocks. The Eu and Ce anomalies in granite-derived waters are inherited, the Y anomaly is achieved by fluid migration. Yttrium is always preferentially leached by mineral waters, whereas Y/Ho ratios of rocks and their leachates are very similar. The REE abundances in waters from the wells in Jachymov are derived from rocks intensely leached and depleted in easily soluble REE-bearing minerals, whereas the granites and basalts from Kyselka still contain soluble, REE-bearing minerals. A comparison of REE/Ca patterns of the experimental leachates with those of the mineral waters elucidate the high retention of REE in rocks during water–rock interaction. In strongly altered rocks Sr isotope ratios of mineral waters and rocks differ widely, whereas the corresponding Nd isotope ratios are very similar. 207Pb/208Pb, 206Pb/208Pb and 206Pb/207Pb ratios in mineral waters are independent from U/Th ratios in the rocks. 206Pb/208Pb and 206Pb/207Pb are lower in mineral waters than in their source rocks and their leachates, which indicates that Pb is primarily derived from solid phases that do not contain significant contents of leachable U and Th. Thus, mineral waters, although CO2 rich, only interact with surface films on minerals and not with the bulk of the minerals as in the leaching experiments.Calculation of mixing ratios of waters from the granitic and basaltic sources of the waters from the Kyselka area yield about 40% of water from the underlying granite in water recovered from the basalt, whereas the granite-derived water is mixed with only about 5% of the water from the basalt. 相似文献

Slopes in geotechnical and mining engineering are the most crucial geo-structure. Predicting or forecasting the stability or instability of the slope and then classifying the slope accordingly helps in mitigating the risks and enhancing the design by maximizing the safety. Computing techniques have overpowered the analytical and statistical models used for predicting the stability of the slopes. To reduce the uncertainties and ambiguity of the previously used models, lately, researchers have come up with the novel techniques for Slope Stability Classification (SSC) which are Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Machine, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Boosted Trees and Classification and Regression Trees. These computational algorithms are employed in this research paper and the slope details are taken from a literature i.e. 221 input datasets are used and slopes are classified accordingly using the mentioned models. The relation between the inputs such as height (H), slope angle (β), cohesion (c), pore water pressure ratio (ru), unit weight (γ), angle of internal friction (φ) and slope stability (output) is established and slopes are categorized according to their failure and stability. Performance analysis is done thereafter to analyses and compare different models and let the readers and researchers know that which model sufficed and fitted best to the study.

Provenance and accumulation rates of opaline silica,Al, Ti,Fe, Mn,Cu, Ni and Co in Pacific pelagic sediments 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Accumulation rates and chemical compositions have been obtained for pelagic sediments for 73 locations in the Pacific and for 11 in the Indian Ocean. The data for the Pacific show that many elements accumulate rapidly close to the continents and slowly in the central part of the ocean. This pattern is interrupted by two major zones of relatively high accumulation rates, one along the Equator and one along the East Pacific Rise. Deposition of opaline silica is almost completely restricted to areas of known high biological productivities at the Equator and at very high latitudes. Cu and Ni show stronger tendencies than Fe and Mn to precipitate with opaline silica. The highest accumulation rates of Fe and Mn in the open Pacific occur along the East Pacific Rise, to some extent also Cu and Ni are enriched there due to volcanic processes. Al and Ti show high accumulation rates only close to the continents; these elements appear to be almost completely terrigenous.Provenance studies of minerogen fractions, using the relations between Fe, Ti, Al and Mn, show that significant quantities of basaltic matter (oceanic crust) are incorporated into the sediments only in areas of very low total sedimentation rates in the vicinity of oceanic island groups such as Polynesia and Hawaii, whereas hydrothermal processes act as a major sediment source only on the East Pacific Rise. Sediments in the north as well as in the southernmost part of the Pacific are nearly entirely terrigenous. A balance estimate of the minerogen fraction of the deep-sea sediments from the open Pacific suggests that between 75 and 95% of all sediments in the Pacific are terrigenous and that submarine weathering (and release of basaltic debris in general) and submarine exhalations each account for only a small fraction of the sediments. 相似文献

The characteristics of groundwater systems and groundwater contamination in Finland, Norway and Iceland are presented, as they relate to outbreaks of disease. Disparities among the Nordic countries in the approach to providing safe drinking water from groundwater are discussed, and recommendations are given for the future. Groundwater recharge is typically high in autumn or winter months or after snowmelt in the coldest regions. Most inland aquifers are unconfined and therefore vulnerable to pollution, but they are often without much anthropogenic influence and the water quality is good. In coastal zones, previously emplaced marine sediments may confine and protect aquifers to some extent. However, the water quality in these aquifers is highly variable, as the coastal regions are also most influenced by agriculture, sea-water intrusion and urban settlements resulting in challenging conditions for water abstraction and supply. Groundwater is typically extracted from Quaternary deposits for small and medium municipalities, from bedrock for single households, and from surface water for the largest cities, except for Iceland, which relies almost entirely on groundwater for public supply. Managed aquifer recharge, with or without prior water treatment, is widely used in Finland to extend present groundwater resources. Especially at small utilities, groundwater is often supplied without treatment. Despite generally good water quality, microbial contamination has occurred, principally by norovirus and Campylobacter, with larger outbreaks resulting from sewage contamination, cross-connections into drinking water supplies, heavy rainfall events, and ingress of polluted surface water to groundwater. 相似文献

The sulphide-bearing rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Germav Formation in southeastern Turkey (Bozova–Urfa) and the morphologically varied sulphide occurrences they contain have been investigated. Pyrite and marcasite are the main sulphide minerals; lesser bravoite and millerite also occur. Pyritised branches and leaves, trace fossils, and animal microfossils and macrofossils are abundant. Most of the concretionary and authigenic concretionary pyrite occurrences are probably related to burrows. The concretionary pyrites have low Co and high Ni contents and low Co:Ni ratios. The pyrite-rich lithostratigraphic sequences were deposited in a deep-sea environment, and pyrite mineralization developed in syn-sedimentary, early diagenetic and epigenetic stages under anoxic conditions.

In accordance with the set of species-defining chemical elements in minerals, n-component systems (where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) for all mineral species (4952) known to 2014 inclusive were distinguished. Seventy chemical elements have been established to be species-defining, which are distributed by mineral systems as follows: 1 (29), 2 (62), 3 (68), 4 (61), 5 (61), 6 (55), 7 (49), 8 (38), 9 (28), and 10 (19). The number of mineral species in which certain chemical elements are species-defining has been specified. Oxygen (4041), hydrogen (2755), silicon (1448), calcium (1139), sulfur (1025), aluminum (960), iron (917), sodium (914), copper (616), phosphorous (580), arsenic (575), and magnesium (550) are the leading elements in minerals in the Earth’s crust. It has been found that the most species-defining elements are normally distributed by mineral systems. The distributions of mineral species in various systems from the Khibiny and Lovozero, Kola Peninsula, Russia; and Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada peralkaline plutons were compared and the characters of species-defining element distribution in these localities were compared. Si, Na, K, C, F, Ti, Ce, Zr, Nb, Sr, and Th are “excess” species-defining elements in minerals from the plutons compared to the total number of mineral species, whereas S, Cu, Pb, Cl, B, Te, Ag, Ni, and Be are “scarce” elements. 相似文献

Major, trace and rare earth element (REE) compositions of upper Proterozoic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks from the Tsaliet and Tembien Groups in the Werri district of northern Ethiopia were determined to examine their tectonic setting of eruption, provenance and source area weathering conditions. Tsaliet Group metavolcanic rocks in the Werri area have sub-alkaline chemistry characterized by low to intermediate SiO2 contents, high Al2O3, low MgO and very low Cr and Ni. High field strength element (HFSE) abundances are highly variable. ∑REE abundances vary from 66.7 to 161.3 ppm, and chondrite-normalized REE patterns are moderately fractionated, with LaN/YbN values of between 3.1 and 9.0. Europium anomalies are variable (Eu/Eu* 0.80–1.21) but are generally positive (average Eu/Eu* 1.06). On tectonic discrimination diagrams, most samples have either volcanic-arc chemistry or fall in the overlap field with mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB). However, primitive mantle-normalized trace element abundances are comparable with sub-alkaline basalts from developed island arcs. 147Sm/144Nd ratios range from 0.1167 to 0.1269 (n = 3), yielding initial εNd(800 Ma) of +3.8 to +4.9 and mean TDM model age of 0.96 Ga, indicative of derivation from juvenile Neoproterozoic mantle. Metasediments from three locations (Werri1, Werri2 and Tsedia) in the Werri and Tsedia Slates have similar Al2O3, TiO2 and HFSE contents but variable and low Na2O, CaO and K2O. Cr and Ni are slightly enriched in the Werri2 and Tsedia suites. SiO2 is very variable, with average values of 70.75, 72.2 and 66.4 wt.% in the Werri1, Werri2 and Tsedia suites, respectively. ∑REE abundances in the metasediments (14.74–108.1) are lower than in the metavolcanics, and are slightly less fractionated, with LaN/YbN ratios of 0.8–5.9. Europium anomalies vary (Eu/Eu* 0.80–1.21) but are insignificant on average (Eu/Eu* 0.96). High values for the Chemical Index of Alteration (generally 70–90), and Plagioclase Index of Alteration (>75) in the Werri metasediments indicate moderate to severe chemical weathering in their source. Average major and trace element compositions of the metasediments and their REE patterns are comparable with the metavolcanics. 147Sm/144Nd ratios of the metasediments range from 0.1056 to 0.1398 (n = 4), with initial εNd(800 Ma) of +3.4 to +5.0 and mean TDM model age of 0.97 Ga, indicating derivation from juvenile Neoproterozoic crust similar to the underlying metavolcanics, with minimal (4–10%) contribution from older crust. The most sensitive tectonic setting discriminators indicate the Werri metasediments represent developed oceanic island arc sediments. The chemical similarity of the Werri metavolcanics to the nearby Adwa metavolcanics, Nakfa terrane in Eritrea, and volcanic units in central Saudi Arabia imply that juvenile Neoproterozoic Arabian Nubian Shield crust extended south at least as far as the Werri area of northern Ethiopia. The comparable geochemistry of the metasediments and their underlying lithologies attests to their derivation from this juvenile crustal material. 相似文献
