Paleoclimate, paleoweathering and paleoredox conditions of Lower Cretaceous shales from the Mural limestone, Tuape section, northern Sonora, Mexico: Constraints from clay mineralogy and geochemistry

Paleoclimate, paleoweathering and paleoredox conditions of Lower Cretaceous shales from the Mural limestone, Tuape section, northern Sonora, Mexico: Constraints from clay mineralogy and geochemistry

Clay mineral analysis and major, trace and rare earth elements (REE) data were used in this study to interpret the paleoclimatic changes, paleoweathering and paleo-redox conditions in shale beds of the Tuape section of the Mural Limestone of Sonora. The clay miner­alogical assemblages (illite-chlori...
