Abstract: The siliceous rocks are widely developed in strata of different ages in the northeastern JianXi Province.Their Si02 contents are in the range of72.2% ~97.19% ,and their Si/Al ratios are 10.84~9321.The Si02 contents are well negatively correlated with A]2O3 contents.This implies that these rocks have a source with higher proportion of terrestrial muddy sediments.Some geochemical characteristics of these siliceous rocks ale shown below: AL2O3/( AL2O3+Fe203)=0.60~0.99,Ce/Ce =0.99~1.22,(La/Ce)N=0.91~1.83;V/Y<5.78,Ti/V>17.These characteristics indicate that they were formed in a tectonic environment of continental margin.There is no relation with the deep oceanic basins and/or mid-ocean ridges.Since the Paleozoic the tectonic environment of deep oceanic basins was not developed in this region.
