Description

More than 30 major and trace elements were determined in carbonate rocks by thermal neutron, epithermal neutron and short-irradiation activation analysis. Al, Cl, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Co, As, Br, Rb, Sb, Cs, Lu, Hf, Ta, Th and U were found to be the effective distinguishing markers for the secondary environments in shallow sea. Element concentration differences in the carbonate rock samples from various secondary environments in early palaeozoic shallow sea, North China, were discovered for the first time. Elemental marks were employed to distinguish between environments effectively. (R.P.) 9 refs.; 6 tabs
