Abstract: This paper discussed in detail about the REE component and the characteristics of the different kinds of attapulgite clay ores as well as basalts, weathered basalts in four localities of attapulgite clay deposits of Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces of China. It is concluded that the half2weathered basalts have not distinct REE fractionation and strong weathered basalts have HREE loss in the process of the basalts weathered to form smectite group minerals. And the lateritic montmorillonite clays that formed from the basalts weathering have a distinct Ce positive anomaly, a little MREE loss and LREE and HREE renew enrichment. That reflects the particular oxidation condition in the Earth's surface and the adsorption of the colloid solution of the lake water in the basin of the continent in the time of the clays formed. The attapulgite clays produced by the reaction between basalts with lake water in the original place of the basin have same REE character-istics as that of the basalts and the weathered basalts. This shows that REE does not transfer heavily in the progressive chemical weathering process. The sedimentary attapulgite clays have also a similar REE component and characteristic parameters to the basalts and the weathered basalts, and have a distinct Eu negative anomaly and a big value of LREE/HREE, which shows that the sedimentary clay came from the weathered basalts, and REE partitioning patterns characters of the clays are controlled by the residual material of the weathered basalts.

浙闽粤滨海地区中生代的成矿作用主要与岩浆作用有关，矿床在空间上有明显的分带性，在时间上具有明显的迁移性，但这种成矿分带和迁移完全不同于东太平洋安第斯和美国西部平行于俯冲带或垂直海岸线的成矿分带和迁移模式。区域中生代矿床的时空分布和成矿演化明显受着区域构造应力作用方式、岩浆作用特征、赋矿地层和岩石的含矿性特征以及成岩成矿后的风化剥蚀程度等因素的制约。
