摘要

白云岩的

Sr/

Sr值是判识其形成流体性质及来源的重要指标，也被广泛用于古海水

Sr/

Sr值演化和地层学研究。因此，白云岩化作用对

Sr/

Sr有无影响及其影响程度直接关系到对

Sr/

Sr值地质意义的解释，但目前尚未见到对这一问题的系统研究。下扬子地区宜兴葛山剖面发育灰岩、白云质灰岩、灰质白云岩及白云岩的系列层序，为研究白云岩化过程中锶的地球化学行为提供了良好素材。通过对该剖面锶元素含量及锶同位素组成系统分析，发现随白云岩化程度的增强，锶含量显著降低，从1358μg/g一直下降到94μg/g，而

Sr/

Sr值却不断升高，由0.708019升高到0.708182。分析前人发表的数据，发现这种演化特征具有一定的普遍性，因此这很可能与锶在白云岩化过程中的地球化学行为有关。进一步分析认为，在白云岩化过程中，随着Ca被Mg的大量交代，以类质同像形式存在的Sr也随之流失，导致Sr含量降低。另一方面，受质量效应的制约，在上述过程中，质量偏轻的

Sr更易迁出，从而造成

Sr值相对增大。因此，在应用白云岩的

Abstract

Sr/

Sr ratio of dolomite is an important indicator for identifying source and characteristics of fluids related to formation and evolution of dolomite.Meanwhile

the ratio has been widely used in study of seawater

Sr/

Sr ratio evolution of fossil seawater and strontium isotope stratigraphy.Thus

the existence and degree of influence of dolomitization on the

Sr/

Sr ratio is crucial to understand the geologic significances of

Sr/

Sr ratio of dolomite.However

no systematic research of this issue has been published.The Geshan section in Yixing County of Lower Yangtze region has excellent outcrops of carbonates including limestone

dolomitic limestone

calcite dolomite and dolomite

providing a chance to study the geochemical behaviors of strontium during dolomitization.In this study

we systematically analyzed the Sr contents and

Sr/

Sr ratios of these carbonates.The Sr contents of these carbonates decrease significantly with enhancing dolomitization degree

from 1358μg/g of limestone to 94μg/g of dolomite

while the

Sr/

Sr ratios increase from 0.708019 to 0.708182.An analysis of the relevant published data shows that the evolution feature of Sr is common to some degree

indicating that it may be attributed to the habitual behaviors of Sr during dolomitization.As Ca is replaced by Mg during dolomitization

the isomorphous Sr is lost simultaneously

leading to the lowering Sr content.In addition

lighter

Sr emigrates from the process due to the constrint of mass effect

resulting in higher

Sr/

Sr ratio.Therefore

the influences of dolomitization on

Sr/

Sr ratio must be considered when identifying the source of dolomitization fluids

establishing the
