Somme River (Lakkor Co basin)
Tibet (Xizang), Ngari Prefecture, Shiquanhe-Lakkor Co-Yongzhu-Jiali ophiolite melange zone, China
Rivers and surface water
- Type
- River or surface water
Boron-rich salt lake on the ophiolite melange zone (Jurassic MORB- and arc-type basalts) on the southern flank of the Bangong-Nujiang suture; sampled in winter 2015 (Li et al., 2022). Coordinates not published (map between 31°50' and 32°10' N, 83°45' and 84°15' E). Feeder river from the east; δ11B falling from -9.97 to -11.15 ‰ after crossing the carbonate deposits, which release light boron.
