Abstract
We analyzed six profiles of the copper shale from the Basin of Sangerhausen (GDR) (determination of 52 chemical elements) to understand the vertical and lateral distribution of the elements (52 determinations) and the role of “Bote Faule” in the process of mineralization was studied. Using instrumental neutron activation analysis the concentration of 27 chemical elements were determined. On basis of the calculated correlation coefficients for element pairs their binding types could be estimated and some peculiarities of the distribution of elements were established. Results of isotope geochemical investigations of the carbonate fraction support the supply of oxidic waters across the “Bote Faule” from the ingression of the Zechstein sea to late diagenesis of copper shale.
