摘要

对塔里木盆地西北缘下寒武统玉尔吐斯组硅质岩开展岩石学以及元素与硅同位素地球化学研究，探讨硅质岩的成因及沉积模式。岩石学观察表明，玉尔吐斯组中段硅质岩主要由隐晶硅质和微晶石英组成，未见碎屑石英，排除了陆源输入对硅质岩沉积的影响。玉尔吐斯组下段硅质岩相对富Fe且具有显著的Eu正异常，反映了硅质岩可能主要来源于海底热液；而中段硅质岩显示Y/Ho比值较高、中等Ce负异常、LREE亏损和Y正异常，说明硅质来源主要为海水，这也符合中段硅质岩具有总体偏向热水来源的δ

Si值。此外，氧化还原敏感元素指标表明，玉尔吐斯组硅质岩的沉积环境为表层海水氧化，而底层海水缺氧甚至硫化。研究认为，玉尔吐斯组硅质岩的沉积模式为：下段硅质岩由大量富硅热液在上升流作用下直接沉积，之后热液活动减弱，氧化还原分层海洋促进海水中溶解的硅和铁循环耦合，硅质以Fe

Abstract

This study employed petrological

elemental and silico

n isotopic geochemical studies of the cherts from the lowest Cambrian Yurtus Formation in the northwestern margin of the Tarim Basin.The genesis and sedimentary model of the cherts were discussed. Petrological observations indicate that the cherts in the middle Yurtus Formation are mostly composed of cryptocrystalline and microcrystalline quartz without clastic quartz

which excludes the influence of terrigenous input on the chert deposition.The cherts in the lower Yurtus Formation are relatively Fe-rich and have a significantly positive Eu anomaly

which suggests that the cherts were likely originated from submarine hydrothermal fluids.In contrast

the middle Yurtus Formation cherts show high Y/Ho ratio

moderate negative Ce anomaly

LREE depletion

and positive Y anomaly

indicating that the cherts were mainly sourced from seawater.This is also consistent with their δ

Si values that bias to hot water sources. In addition

the redox-sensitive element proxies indicate that the sedimentary environment of the cherts of the Yurtus Formation was probably oxidized for the surface seawater

while is anoxic or even euxinic for the bottom seawater. This study proposes that a sedimentary model for the cherts of the Yurtus Formation as follows: the cherts in the lower section were directly sourced from large amounts of silica-rich hydrothermal fluids under the influence of upwelling. Subsequently

the hydrothermal activities weakened and the redox-stratified ocean facilitated the coupled cycling of dissolved silicon and iron in seawater

and the silicon was co-deposited in the form of Fe

-Si colloidal. During the dominance of the euxinic zone

the iron and silicon cycle was decoupled

leading to the deposition of black shale and the formation of interbedded cherts and black shales in the middle section.
