Abstract:Iron-bearing mineral assemblages and their distribution patterns directly reflect the redox environment in sediments, which plays a decisive role in the migration and precipitation of U. The Dongsheng sandstone-type U deposit hosted in fluvial and/or deltaic sandstones of the lower member of the Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the northeastern Ordos Basin has experienced multiple fluid events that impacted the redox conditions. Highly enriched in barren grey sandstones, pre-ore U (Umean = 12.05 ppm) associ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
