Variations of trace element ratios of the Yangtze River sediments. a Zr/ Al2O3 vs. Th/Al, showing enrichment of zircon compared to heavy mineral accumulation. b Th/Al vs. La/Sm, indicating the relationship between heavy mineral accumulations and LREE enrichment. c Th/Al vs. Tb/Yb, showing heavy mineral accumulations with HREE enrichment. d Th/Al vs. Nb/Zr, showing heavy mineral accumulations with HFSE enrichment
