Abstract

The different types of siliceous rocks(i.e.flaggy siliceous,striped siliceous and striped chert noddle) occurr in the Wujiaping Formation,Xuanhan area of Sichuan basin.The rare earth elements and trace elements in different siliceous rocks from Yanggudong section in Dukou town,Xuanhan County,were measured.The total volume of rare earth elements is relatively low,and shows the increasing tendency from striped chert noddle to striped siliceous rocks and flaggy siliceous rocks in turns.The shale-normalized rare earth elements have slight to intermediate negative δCe anomalies,intermediate ratios of Lan/Cen, Lan/Ybn and an overwhelming majority negative δEu anomalies,suggesting the continental margin and open-ocean basin environment for siliceous rocks.Trace elements of Co,Ni,As and Sb elements indicate that siliceous rocks would be formed under non-hydrothermal deposition.Integrating the outcrop geochemical characteristics in NE Sichuan Basin,these suggest the sedimentary environment of Wujiaping Formation siliceous rocks mainly continental margin and open-ocean basin,and part of striped siliceous rocks influenced by weak hydrothermal fluids.
