Zusammenfassung: | The petrographical, mineralogical, whole-rock geochemical, and zircon U-Pb geochronological and Lu-Hf isotopic studies were carried out for investigating the provenance and genetic mechanism of the high-grade coal-bearing kaolin within the coal seams of the Permo-Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation in the Xiaoyu mine of the Datong coalfield, Shanxi Province. The coal-bearing kaolin is composed mainly of well-ordered kaolinite with no detrital quartz, feldspars and muscovite. Some samples contain boehmite that were formed through the desilication of kaolinite. The zircons in the coal-bearing kaolin are typically igneous origin with only one age population of ca. 300 Ma, same with the depositional age of the coal, confirming that the coal-bearing kaolin was altered from volcanic ash. Besides, the coal-bearing kaolin commonly contains tabular/columnar and vermicular kaolinite that are also diagnostic feature of alteration from volcanic ash. These coarse-grained kaolinites are thought to be pseudomorphic kaolinite al |
