    • The Hefeng area is located in the stratabound-type Pb-Zn polymetallic metallogenic belt in the junctional zone between western Hunan and western Hubei. It is not only one of the important producers of "Yangtze-type" Pb-Zn deposits, but also an important prospecting area of shale gas resources in China. In order to discuss the provenance, paleoweathering, sedimentary environment and tectonic setting of the Niutitang Formation, the petrology and petrochemistry of the black rock series in the middle and lower part of the Niutitang Formation in Zouma Town of Hefeng County are analyzed. The contents of major elements in the rock vary significantly, and the chemical composition of the samples from different layers is quite different. Except for SiO2 and P2O5, most of the compositions in the lower layer are lower than the PAAS value. The rocks are strongly enriched in U and Cr, but depleted in Th. They have high Ni/Co ratios and low V/Cr ratios. The total amount of REE is slightly higher than that of PAAS, with obvious Ce negative anomaly, weak Eu negative anomaly, and slightly larger Y/Ho ratio. The content of Al2O3 in the upper stratum is significantly higher than that in the lower strata. Compared with PAAS, most of the components are depleted except SiO2 and Na2O. The rocks are strongly enriched in V, U, and Ba, obviously depleted in Zn, Th, Ni, and Rb, with low Ni/Co ratios and high V/Cr ratios. The content of the total amount of REE is similar to that of the lower strata with the weak negative anomalies of Ce and Eu, and the Y/Ho ratios are similar to the values of igneous and terrigenous clastic rocks. It is considered that the Niutitang Formation were originated from terrigenous clastic rocks and neutral volcanic rocks, which have undergone strong weathering under humid to semi-arid climatic conditions, and were deposited in the palaeogeographic anoxic/dysoxic environment in the passive continental margin setting.
