Rare earth elements and Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd systematics in the peat bog iron ore and moss of the NW East European Platform

详细

Spectra of the REE distribution in the Quaternary–Recent peat bog ore of southern Karelia and Leningrad region are characterized by La_N/Yb_N < 1.0, presence of positive Eu and negative Ce anomalies, and higher Y enrichment (relative to Ho and Dy) because of the REE sorption by Fe-bearing minerals in acid boggy waters. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio is 0.7175 in iron oxyhydroxides of the Somino deposit (Leningrad region) and 0.7283 in the Polovinkino ore (southern Karelia). The ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratio in them is 0.511844 and 0.511617, respectively.
