Description 96-105
Rare earth elements and radioactive
elements like Th and U were measured in sediments from nine sampling locations
along continental shelf regions of the south coast of India in order
to study their behaviour and distribution environment. Analysis was performed
using ICP/MS and normalised by using the Post-Archean Australian Shale composition.
Rare earth elements grouped into LREE and HREE and the results showed high LREE
than HREE indicating their abundance along the study area. Factor analysis and
correlation results leads their origin may be from common source. Eu anomalies
indicate the source may be from alkali-feldspar or hydrothermal source. Ce
anomaly expresses the terrigenous source as origin and displayed oxic
environment which prevails along the study region. Other depositional

parameters like Authigenic-U, Th/U ration
also support these results.
