Abstract:On the basis of previous data, through field observation and sampling, in combination of experimental data of polarizing microscope and hermoanalysis, mineral composition of some common Lu inkstones and the geological environment of these inkstones have been analyzed. It is found that sedimentary rocks are mostly composed of micrite calcite, with a small amount of terrigenous mineral; metamorphic rock type Lu inkstone are mostly composed of sericite and chlorite, with a small amount of quartz, tourmaline, etc. Lu inkstones are mainly found in western Shandong and mostly formed in Cambrian period with a preference of littoral, neritic, and lacustrine facies.
