Geochemical mapping in Shikoku, southwest Japan

► Geochemical mapping in a fore-arc area was conducted using stream sediments. ► Areas with higher values of mafic elements are distributed along the axis of Shikoku. ► High values reflect mafic–ultramafic components in metamorphic rocks and accretionary complexes. ► These mafic–ultramafic component...

Geochemical mapping of Shikoku in the SW Japan Arc was conducted using stream sediments (&lt;0.18 mm fraction) with sample densities of 1 site per 106 km 2. Concentrations of 51 elements in 173 stream sediments were determined. Areas with especially high Cr, Ni, Mg and Co concentrations run intermittently and linearly through Shikoku, and coincide with exposures of the Mikabu greenstone complex composed of oceanic basaltic and gabbroic rocks with minor ultramafic bodies. Areas with higher concentrations of Fe, V, Sc, Ti, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mg, Co and Eu are distributed widely along the Shikoku Island axis; they mainly overlap with the zones of the high-pressure type metamorphic rocks (Sanbagawa Belt) and of the Jurassic accretionary complexes with sedimentary rocks (Chichibu Belt): in contrast, areas with lower concentrations spread over the northern coastal zone of Cretaceous granitoids (Ryoke Belt) and in the southern coastal zone of Cretaceous–Paleogene accretionary complexes (Shimanto Belt). Distribution patterns of these elements reflect that various amounts of mafic and ultramafic materials, possibly of oceanic origin, are associated with the rocks in the Sanbagawa and Chichibu Belts, although such components occur sparsely in the Shimanto and Ryoke Belts. Calcium, Sr, Na, Nb, Sm and Gd contents are lower along the southern coastal zone. High values of Th, U, La, Ce and Ba are associated with granitic rocks. The positive anomalies of Cu and Cd coincide with the distribution of stratabound Cu deposits in the Sanbagawa Belt. Positive anomalies of Sb in the northern area are associated with Sb deposits near the large Median Tectonic Line fault zone. A high-Hg zone is present in the southern fore-arc area. The median concentrations for stream sediments in Shikoku are higher in Hg, Cu, Ni, Cr, Rb, Li, Cs, K, slightly higher in Nb, Ta, La, Ce, Sn and lower in Ca than those for average Japanese stream sediments. The median concentrations for the four geologic zones show systematic wide variations of mafic associated elements, and narrow variations of lithophile elements generally more abundant in felsic rocks. The chemical compositions of the stream sediments in Shikoku largely reflect the concentrations in the pre-Neogene accretionary complexes and in the high-P metamorphic rocks mainly formed from clastic materials derived from continental margins, and ratios of mafic and ultramafic materials within surface rocks; they are partly influenced by sulfide mineralization and fluid migration.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0883-2927</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1872-9134</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeochem.2011.06.019</identifier><identifier>CODEN: APPGEY</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Kidlington: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Earth sciences ; Earth, ocean, space ; Engineering and environment geology.
