Geochemical characteristics and paleoclimate implication of Middle Jurassic coal in the Ordos Basin, China (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, L., Lv, D., Hower, J. C., Zhang, Z., Raji, M., Tang, J., …Gao, J. (2022). Geochemical characteristics and paleoclimate implication of Middle Jurassic coal in the Ordos Basin, China. Ore Geology Reviews, 144, Article 104848. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oregeorev.2022.104848

Coals are highly enriched in critical elements (rare earth elements, etc.), containing much information of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic during deposition. The Jurassic period is a significant coal-forming period in the world. The Yan'an Forma...
