Abstract

Aiming at distinguishing between the sedimentary environments in shallow sea using elemental geochemical markers, the determinations of trace elements in carbonate rocks by thermal neutron, epithermal neutron and short-irradiation activation analysis have been studied, and more than 30 major and trace elements determined. 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.
