Abstract

Deh Salm Jurassic shales of Shemshak formation are located in south of Birjand city in East of Iran. The Jurassic shale of Shem shak formation in this area is partly metamorphosed and display finely foliation. Th e trace element data of Deh Salm shales are compared with upper continental crust, clarke value of sedimentary rocks and world's average of shales. Total sulfur concentrations vary from 0.01% to 0.55% with average of 0.18% that is lower than of sulf ur content of world's shale composition. Th, Y, Nb and Zr are depleted in Deh Salm shal es in compare with Upper continental crust and clarke value of sedimentary rocks. Comp atible elements like Co, Ni, Cu and Zn are highly depleted relative to upper continental crust, Clarke value of sedimentary rocks and world's average shale composition.
