Linear Correlation of Ba and Eu Contents by Hydrothermal Activities: A Case Study in the Hetang Formation, South China by Chao Chang, Qi Fu, Xiaolin Wang

“…A significant linear correlation between Ba and Eu contents has been observed in a set of mudrock formations in the lower Cambrian Hetang Formation in South China. Combined with petrographic features and reinvestigation of published data obtained from the same laboratory, the analytical interference of Ba can be excluded as a main factor of this correlation. …”
