A massive Tertiary salt deposit containing 10 billion tons has been identified in the Huanggang buried sag of southwestern Shandong Province. This deposit is a rare super-large rock salt deposit in eastern China. To investigate the material sources and depositional environment of this salt formation,we conducted a comprehensive analysis of salt mineral assemblages,stratigraphic distributions,and 87Sr/86Sr isotopic compositions in halite and anhydrite from a 520-meter core(Borehole YZK-3)situated at the basin margin. Among the salt minerals,carbonate minerals mainly contained calcite,dolomite,ankerite and minor aragonite. Sulfate minerals contained anhydrite,with minor gypsum and celestite. Chloride minerals were composed of only halite. Based on their distribution and genesis,the paleolake evolution during the Middle-Late Eocene to Oligocene progressed through five distinct stages: freshwater→brackish→saline→brackish→freshwater lake systems. The87Sr/86Sr ratios measured in halite and anhydrite(0.711227-0.71177)significantly exceed contemporaneous seawater values. This isotopic disparity,combined with existing hydrothermal research data,demonstrates the absence of marine influences in the brine system.Substantial contributions from deep hydrothermal fluids mixed with meteoric waters was an important source of salt material.
