Abstract: The cherts of Dengying Formation are widely distributed in Huize County in northeastern Yunnan in the 1:50 000 regional survey. This paper mainly focuses on the petrogenesis and their petrological and geochemical characteristics. The cherts in the lower segment of the Sinian-Cambrian Dengying Formation are relatively rich in Al, Ti and ΣREE, with negative Ce anomaly and positive Eu anomaly; the cherts in the middle segment are characterized by high contents of Ca and Mg, relatively low contents of ΣREE (total LREE> total HREE), with negative Ce anomaly and various Eu anomalies; the cherts in the upper segment display relatively low contents of ΣREE (total LREE> total HREE), with negative Ce anomaly and various Eu anomalies. Combined with the regional tectonic evolution in the Sinian-Cambrian region, the petrological and geochemical characteristics indicate that the lower segment chert is deposited in a normal seawater environment, the middle segment chert is a product of a hydrothermal sedimentary environment, and the upper segment chert belongs to a product of normal seawater influenced obviously by hydrothermal fluids. The Dengying Formation chert in the Huize area is formed in a shallow sea shelf environment on the edge of heterogeneous continent.

Key words: northeastern Yunnan, Dengying Formation, chart, geochemistry, sedimentary environment
