Abstract：The problem about source materials of the sedimentary bauxite beds of Dazhuyuan Formation in Wuchuan-Zheng′ an-Daozhen area,northern Guizhou Province,is still controversial,for underlying strata of the bauxite beds transform from the Silurian Hanchiatien Formation to the Carboniferous Huanglong Formation in different areas.Detrital zircon chronological analysis of the sandstone of Hanchiatien Formation and bauxite beds shows the consistency of age spectrums and indicates the affinity of the basement strata in the Cathaysia Block.The result demonstrates that products from the weathering and laterization of the Hanchiatien Formation provide the materials for the mineralization of the bauxite beds. Meanwhile,the parallel unconformity between the bauxite beds and the Huanglong Formation and the secondary karstic breccia of the Huanglong Formation in the drilling core imply the contribution of the Huanglong Formation for the bauxite beds. Therefore,the Dazhuyuan bauxite beds has multiple sources, i.e. , materials from the Hanchiatien Formation may be the major source,while the Huanglong Formation provided not only the sedimentary place but also partial materials for mineralization during palaeokarst process.
