Abstract

Abstract The geochemical composition of the Middle-Upper Proterozoic turbidites in Hunan, South China is related to provenance and tectonic setting of the sedimentary basin. The turbidites are characterized by moderate SiO2 contents (Al2O3/SiO2 typically 0.1-0.3) and moderate K2O/Na2O ratios (genera...
