Abstract

We determined chemical compositions like abundance of major and trace elements, Sr and Nd isotope compositions for two tektites from the Thailand and Vietnam. Their chemical compositions are similar to each other, and seem to be similar to those of PAAS (Post Archean Australian Shale) rather than upper continental crust. In particular, primitive mantle-normalized spider diagrams and chondrite-normalized REE patterns for two tektites are the same, suggesting that they might be derived from the same source material. The $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ and $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratios from Thailand tektite are $0.718870{\pm}0.000008(2{\sigma}_m)$ and $0.512024{\pm}0.000012(2{\sigma}_m)$, respectively, and those from Vietnam are $0.717022{\pm}0.000008(2{\sigma}_m)$ and $0.511986{\pm}0.000013(2{\sigma}_m)$, respectively. The $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ and $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratios from Thailand tektite are slightly enriched than those of Vietnam tektite. $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratios from the Vietnam and Thai tektites were plotted on the range of Australasian tektites reported previously. $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratio of Vietnam tektite from this study was lower than the range of $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratio from the Australasian tektite reported previously whereas that of Thai tektite was included in the range of $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratio from the Australasian tektite. The geochemical characteristics from two tektites in this study indicate that they may be derived from the very similar source materials.

타이와 베트남산 텍타이트의 주원소 조성, 희토류원소를 포함하는 미량원소 조성, Sr과 Nd의 동위원소 화학조성을 측정하여 상호간의 연관성을 비교하였다. 두 텍타이트의 주원소 조성은 서로 유사하며, 상부지각의 화학조성보다는 PAAS(Post Archean Australian Shale)의 화학조성에 더 유사하다. 거미도와 희토류원소의 분포도는 서로 간에 일치하는 특성을 보여주며, Eu의 부(-)의 이상과 더불어 경희토류가 부화되고 중희토류가 결핍되어 있는 특성 또한 PASS의 희토류원소 분포도와 유사하다. 타이산 텍타이트의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$과 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ 비는 각각 $0.718870{\pm}0.000008(2{\sigma}_m)$, $0.512024{\pm}0.000012(2{\sigma}_m)$이고 베트남산 텍타이트의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$과 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ 비는 $0.717022{\pm}0.000008(2{\sigma}_m)$. $0.511986{\pm}0.000013(2{\sigma}_m)$으로 타이산 텍타이트가 베트남산 텍타이트보다 더 부화된 동위원소 값을 갖고 있다. 그리고 현재까지 알려진 오스트레일리아와 동아시아에서의 텍타이트의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$과 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ 비와 비교했을 때, 이 연구에서의 두 지역 텍타이트의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$비 값은 모두 기존에 알려져 있는 Australasian 텍타이트에서의 값들의 범위에 포함된다. $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ 비의 경우 타이산 텍타이트는 현재 알려져있는 Australasian 텍타이트의 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$비 값 범위에 들어가는 반면에, 베트남산 텍타이트의 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$비 값은 현재까지 알려진 $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ 비보다 낮았다. 이 연구에서의 두 텍타이트의 지구화학적 특성의 유사성은 두 텍타이트가 거의 동일한 기원물질로부터 유래되었을 가능성을 지시해준다.
