    Sedimentary Geochemistry and Tectonic Significance of Ordovician Cherts in Sunan, North Qilian Mountains

    • The North Qilian orogenic belt in northwestern China is an elongate tectonic unit situated between the North China plate in the north and the Qaidam plate in the south. It is a result of the collision of two plates during the Caledonian stage. The Sunan area, from Baiquanmen to Bianmagou, is located in the western sector of the North Qilian mountains, crossing three tectonic units (back-arc basin, island-arc and trench subduction complex) and three ophiolite zones (Baiquanmen-Jiugequan, Dachadaban and Bianmagou). The Yingou Formation is distributed over the Sunan area, and consists of medium-basic volcanic rocks, volcanic clastic rocks interspersed with cherts, marbles, metamorphic mudstone (slate or schist) and sandstone. The geochemistry of the cherts shows that the cherts, coexisting with ophiolite from Bianmagou, Dachadaban, Jiugequan and Baiquanmen, all formed the background of the continental margin basin. The rare earth elements show that these cherts formed in the deep-water basin far from the continent, where terrestrial material had no obvious effect on them. It is inferred that North Qilian orogenic belt was located in the tectonic background of an archipelagic ocean where a wide multi-island ocean existed in the Ordovician.
