Refining vanadium hyper‐enrichment in black shales of the Late Devonian–Early Mississippian Bakken Formation (USA)
Yunfeng Wang
Abstract:Vanadium hyper‐enrichment (V ≥ 500 μg g−1) is widespread in ancient marine organic‐rich sedimentary rocks and is controlled by its source and accumulation. To understand how V source and accumulation control V hyper‐enrichment, the V hyper‐enriched organic‐rich black shales of the Late Devonian–Early Mississippian Bakken Formation (USA) were investigated here. The results imply that V in the Bakken Formation black shales is mainly derived from detritus and open ocean. Its hyper‐enrichment was always related to… Show more
