Abstract

In this study, petrography and major and minor elements geochemical data are presented for sandstone layers of the Upper Red formation (URF) in the Chehrabad Pb-Zn deposit (NW Zanjan) to investigate sandstone composition, Tectonic setting and their source rock. In this area, URF has 980 m thickness and is conformably overlies the Qom Formation limestones. Based on the microscopic studies, these sandstones mainly composed of fine-to coarse-grained clastic fragments including sedimentary and metamorphic rock fragments (45 %), quartz (38 %) and feldspar (17 %). Based on petrographic studies, these sandstones are feldspathic litharenite and litharenite (mainly chertarenite). Based on the main components and major and minor elements geochemical data, the Tectonic setting of these sandstones is an active continental margins and foreland basins. These data represent an intermediate to felsic source rock for these sandstones which was affected by the semi-humid to semi-arid Climate and a low chemical weathering.
