A whole-rock geo chem i cal study was car ried out on sand stones from the Up per Cre ta ceous Bozeº For ma tion in the southeast ern part of the Apuseni Moun tains (Ro ma nia) in or der to con strain their prov e nance and depositional set ting. The geo chem i cal re sults were com pared and in te grated with pre vi ously re ported prov e nance in di ca tors, such as frame work com po si tion and heavy min eral as sem blages. The chem i cal com po si tion is sim i lar for all sam ples in ves ti gated, with lim ited ranges for both ma jor ox ides and trace el e ments. The sand stones are potassic (Na 2 O/K 2 O < 1) and can be clas si fied mainly as arenites with a few greywackes. Their im ma ture to rel a tively ma ture char ac ter is re vealed by the SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ra tios, rang ing be tween 3.90 and 11.25, as well as their high Sr/Rb ra tios. The source rocks were af fected by weak to mod er ate chem i cal alter ation, as in di cated by the spe cific in dex (CIA), with val ues be tween 47 and 71. The de tri tal ma te rial was in flu enced by a little hy drau lic sort ing dur ing trans por ta tion, while post-depositional ef fects were lim ited to K-metasomatism. Two ma jor po ten tial source types were iden ti fied based on the chem i cal com po si tion of the sam ples stud ied: a fel sic mag matic arc and a re cy cled, quartzose metasedimentary base ment. Our data in di cate that the depositional set ting is likely to be on a con vergent mar gin. The re sults are con sis tent with up lifted and ex humed Transylvanian base ment as the ma jor source area.

“…The ratios of Th/Cr (~0.03-0.09; average = ~0.05), Cr/Th (~10.70-30.64; average = ~20.37), Th/Co (~0.01-0.48; average = ~0.25), and Cr/Ni (~1.32-10.93; average = ~5.13) (Table 3) imply that the Agbada Formation sediments recovered from the KR-1 well were derived from felsic source Table 1. Trace element ratios and enrichments in the Agbada Formation Sediments compared to world average shale (WSA) (Wedepohl, 1971 (Condie et al, 1991;Cullers et al, 2000;Kutterolf et al, 2008). Therefore, REE ratios such as La/Yb, Gd/Yb, La/Sm, and Eu/Eu*(where Eu* = europium anomalies) of sediments are considered to be similar to provenance and are usually used to determine bulk source composition (Kutterolf et al, 2008;Dabard and Loi, 2012).…”

Forty-two ditch cutting samples of the KR-1 offshore well from depths of 9660 ft to 10,920 ft composited at 90-ft intervals were subjected to sedimentological, micropaleontological, and geochemical analyses using standard procedures and the laser ablationinduced coupled plasma mass spectrometry technique, respectively. Sedimentological analysis revealed the presence of glauconites and the rare occurrence of framboidal pyrites, indicative of deposition in a slightly anoxic marine environment. Palynomorph percentage distribution shows that there are more terrestrially derived miospores (dominated by Zonocostites ramonae (Rhizophora spp.), Psilatricolporites crassus (Tabernaemontana crassa), Acrotichum aureum, and Laevigatosporites sp.) than marine phytoplanktons. Rare occurrence of Globoquadrina venezuelana, Globigerinoides promordius, and Globigerina sp. denotes an Early Miocene age and proximal shelf. These indicate that the main environment of deposition in the KR-1 well is coastal to marginal marine consisting of coastal deltaicinner neritic, made up of tidal channel and shoreface deposits. Geochemical results show that the average concentrations of considered rare earth elements are less than their concentrations in world average shale. Trace metal ratios (such as Th/Cr, Cr/Th, Th/Co, and Cr/ Ni) suggest that the investigated sediments were derived from felsic source rocks. Rare earth element patterns (such as La/Yb, Gd/Yb, La/Sm, and Eu/Eu) and Th data established the felsic composition of the source rocks. Ratios of U/Th, Ni/Co, Cu/Zn, and V/Sc suggest a well-oxygenated bottom water condition. Estimated europium and cerium anomalies of the studied samples suggest an oxidizing environment of deposition. Nonetheless, the ratios of V/Cr suggest a range of environmental conditions. Moreover, ratios of V/(V+Ni) suggest the rare occurrence of suboxic to anoxic environments of deposition.
