Gold in Vendian-Cambrian organic macrofossils of the East European platform

According to the neutron activation analysis (NAA) data, the average Au content makes up 0.004 μg/g in sabelliditid tubes, 0.08 μg/g in vendotaenid ribbon remains, and 0.28 μg/g (the maximal value) in sapropelic films. Sorption of soluble compounds at the epigenesis stage is the most probable mechan...

Description
Summary:According to the neutron activation analysis (NAA) data, the average Au content makes up 0.004 μg/g in sabelliditid tubes, 0.08 μg/g in vendotaenid ribbon remains, and 0.28 μg/g (the maximal value) in sapropelic films. Sorption of soluble compounds at the epigenesis stage is the most probable mechanism of Au concentration in Vendian-Cambrian rocks from the East European Platform.
