Abstract:
Distribution of rare earth elements (REE) was studied in phosphorites collected from seamounts at depths from about 400 to 3600 m. In general phosphorites are characterized by high REE con¬tent, by a strong negative Ce anomaly, by a slight positive Gd anomaly, and by slight enrichment in heavy REE, which is also characteristic of seawater, where, to certain extent, composition of REE depends on depth. Comparison of REE composition in phosphorites and in seawater from the Northwest Pacific by means of Q-mode factor analysis revealed that REE have been transported into the phosphorites from various water depths following submergence of the seamounts. This corresponds to paleotectonic reconstructions, but is only partially consistent with age determinations of phosphorites.
