The Junggar Basin is a Permian foreland basin. Organic-rich shale is widely developed in the Permian Lucaogou Formation in the southern margins of this basin. However, little research has been done to investigate the rare earth element (REE) features of the Lucaogou Formation shale. In this study, w...
