Estudio quimioestratigráfico con fines prospectivos en el sector Chicaña, parte 2

Abstract

Abstract: The present work of curricular integration is based on the geochemical prospection of critical elements in the parish of Chicaña, in the canton of Yantzaza, in order to make a chemical and mineralogical description of two outcrops of the "El Salado" sector by collecting samples from the strata, preparation prior to X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry with coupled plasma. These analyses corroborated the mineralogy of the hand samples. The study area is located in the Napo Formation, consisting mainly of black shales and sandstones, with the predominant minerals quartz, aluminosilicate and mica. An anomaly was found in the Thorium element by performing the statistics and relating it to the defined Clarke.
