Özet
Limestone came into existence due to co-precipitation
of carbonate minerals from carbonate system solutions, along with skeletal
materials and sediments (marine and detrital), mostly containing minute
quantities of other elements such as Si, Na, Sr, Mg, K, Co, Mn, Cd etc. The
concentration of any of these elements usually varies within limestone
formation. In this study, the influence of surrounding igneous and metamorphic
rocks on the Cr, Mn and Fe concentrations in a limestone formation were
examine. Twenty limestone samples obtained from the Ortakoy village and
surrounding in the Kumluca County of the Antalya province were analyzed for
their Cr, Mn and Fe concentrations using XRF technique. A combination of
geological studies, geochemical modeling and cluster analysis were applied to
understand the variation of these elements content in the limestone formation.
Correlative and anomalously distributed concentration of these elements in
areas close of the limestone formation proximal to igneous and metamorphic
rocks implied these rock types influenced the Cr-Mn-Fe concentration the
elements in the limestone.
