摘 要：Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)was used to analyze chemical elements—major, trace and rare earth elements(REE) concentrations, augmented with quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and thin-section petrography formineralogical characterization of the Triassic Montney Formation in northeastern British Columbia, Western Canada SedimentaryBasin (WCSB). Results from this study indicatethat integration of chemical elements with mineralogy shows affinity to the host lithologies. Evidently, chemical elements are the building blocks for minerals, thus, their significancesin the interpretation of geological systems are unambiguous. Herein, major elements concentration such as Al, Fe, K, Mg, Ca, Mn in the samples analyzed from the Montney Formation are interpreted as: 1) indication of dolomitization and diagenesis;2) trace elements—Rb, Th, U, and Cs are related to the organi
