Distribution of Trace Elements in Ophiolites from Cazaneshti, Metalliferous Mountains, Romania
Abstract
Distribution of minor elements in ophiolites from Cazaneshti area of Metalliferous Mountains has been studied. Petrographic studies were carried out to differentiate various lithological units of the area. the analysed data was treated statistically, to find the lognormality of various populations by cumulative frequency curve method. Co, Ni and Cr appear to be formed by identical geochemical process, whereas, V, Cu and Pb are represented by two populations. Zn is abnormally low in the rocks studied. Other important parameters like geometric deviation, coefficient of deviation and coefficient of variation, etc., have been calculated to decipher the epigenetic nature and chemical dispersion of minor elements in the rock. A close relationship between Cu:Pb and Pb:Zn indicates that these minerals have been formed by identical geochemical process.
