Abstract

In order to study the intensity of chemical weathering during the formation of sedimentary strata in the site profile, the evolution of climatic environment in the region where the site profile is located was revealed. The rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) values in the rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) were tested and analysed. The Rb/Sr ratio has become an ideal alternative indicator in the study of regional environmental evolution. The Rb value in the strata section of Zhongba site is low, and the average value (calculated based on 202 sample values) is only 80 g/g. The Sr value was higher, averaging 866 g/g. The average Rb/Sr ratio is 0.19.
