摘要

Abstract

Six outcrop sections in Fenghe River

Northwestern China

were sampled and analyzed. This study aims to determine provenance

tectonic setting

and source-area paleoweathering of the sediments of Fenghe River in combination of lithofaci

es analysis and bulk-rock geochemical data. The lithofacies in the studied area were classified as gravel

sand

and fine-grained clastic lithofacies

reflecting generally channel fill deposits

channel bar deposits

and over-bank deposits

respectively. The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA)

Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA)

and Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW) values ranged 50.10–62.29

50.13–66.35

56.52–71.12

respectively

together with element ratios such as Rb/Sr

K/Na

Rb/K

Th/K

Rb/Ti

and Cs/Ti indicate that the source area was under a low to moderate chemical weathering condition probably in cold and semi-arid climates. Moreover

plot of SiO

vs. (Al

O+Na

O) suggests that the sediments were deposited in a semi-arid climate. Plots of Cr/Th vs. Th/Sc

TiO

vs. Zr

La/Yb vs. rare earth element (REE)

and La-Th-Sc ternary diagrams

along with the lithology

indicate that the sediments in Fenghe River were mainly originated from felsic igneous rocks. Major elements-based discrimination diagrams and Th-Sc-Zr/10 and La-Th-Sc ternary diagram of the samples indicates that the source rocks of Fenghe River developed in a composite active continental margin and continental island arc field.
