Geochemical characteristics and sedimentary environment significance of carbonate rocks in Nanfen Formation of Qingbaikou System in Tonghua, Jilin Province
In order to reveal the sedimentary environment of carbonate rocks in Nanfen Formation of Qingbaikou System in Tonghua , Jilin Province , the mineral composition and petrochemistry of carbonate rocks in Nanfen Formation were analyzed .The mineral compositions of five carbonate rock samples in Nanfen Formation mainly consist of calcite , with minor clay minerals and quartz , and the rock type is siliceous marlite .The Mn/Sr va-lues range from 1.52 to 4.08, with an average of 2.64, indicating that the carbonate rocks experienced weak diagenesis;the Sr/Ba values range from 1.26 to 2.51, with an average of 1.93, indicating marine environ-ment;the ratio of Mg/Al ranges from 35.33 to 86.34, with an average of 62.95, indicating the seawater envi-ronment, which is consistent with the result from Sr/Ba;the MgO/CaO values range from 0.01 to 0.04, with an average of 0.02, indicating humid environment;the values of V/(V+Ni) range from 0.63 to 0.73, with an average of 0.70, indicating anoxic environment .In summary, geochemical analyses show that the Nanfen Formation carbonate rocks are marine deposits , in a warm, humid, anoxic environment with poor flow of seawa-ter, and subsequently underwent weak diagenetic alteration .
