摘要

The western margin of the ~1600 Ma Vindhyan basin of the Indian shield is marked by the presence of lower Vindhyan Group (LVG) comprising shales and sandstone with minor limestone, conglomerate and mafic volcanic flows at the base. Major and trace element compositions of sandstones and shales of the LVG have been investigated to infer the nature of provenance, weathering processes, and tectonic setting. Provenance analysis using trace elements and petrography suggests that the Archaean Banded Gneissic Complex (BGC) of Rajasthan is most likely the source of these clastic rocks. The shale and sandstone comprising lower part of LVG namely Khardeola Formation are distinctive in having high LILE such as Th, Rb, and K_2O, high ferromagnesian trace elements and also higher values of K_2O/Na_2O, Rb/Sr and (La/Yb)n ratios in comparison to succeeding sedimentary units comprising upper formations of the LVG. The significantly different geochemical characteristics of Khardeola Formation suggest change in provenance with sediments in the lower formation being derived from proximal source and those of upper formations from distal source. Based on REE patterns and Eu/Eu* values, the clastic sediments of Khardeola formation can be modeled by a mixture of 60% Berarch Granite and 40% mafic volcanic rocks of Hindoli belt. On the other hand, the upper formations are best modeled with a mixture of 60% BGC granitic gneisses, 20% BGC mafic enclaves and 20% Berach Granite. CIA (chemical index of alteration) values and A-CN-K plot suggest that the source area experienced moderate to high degree of chemical weathering under warm and humid conditions. The shift of sediment source from local in the beginning to distal during later period suggests sedimentation in a tectonically active basin.
