Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of Mg-Rich Marbles of the Zhuanmiao Borate Ore District in
The petrologic features, chemistry of the whole rock, REE and trace elements, and C, O isotope geochemistries of Mg-rich marble are studied in this paper. The results show that Mg-rich marble has the characteristics of magmatic carbonatite: the major elements indicate that the rock is rich in Mg and Si. With relatively high trace elements contents of B, F, Rb, Cs, Th, U and comparatively low contents of V, Cr, Co, Ni, HFSE, the related ratios are similar to those of magmatic carbonatite.
