Paleoenvironmental, Paleoclimatic, and Tectonic Implications of the Yanghugou Formation in the Western Margin of the Ordos Basin, China: Evidence from Palynology and Elemental Geochemical Characteristics

Paleoenvironmental, Paleoclimatic, and Tectonic Implications of the Yanghugou Formation in the Western Margin of the Ordos Basin, China: Evidence from Palynology and Elemental Geochemical Characteristics

This study explores the sedimentary environment and tectonic implications of the Upper Carboniferous Yanghugou Formation on the western margin of the Ordos Basin through the analysis of major elements, trace elements, and rare earth elements in 23 mudstone samples. The results indicate moderate chem...
