Cenozoic basalts in SE China may be derived from a mixture of depleted MORB mantle (DMM) and enriched mantle 2 (EM2) sources, but whether these basalts share a common mantle source or magmatic history remains unknown. To investigate these unresolved issues, this study sampled basalts from Niutoushan and Mingxi (Fujian province), Xilong (Zhejiang province), and Penghu (Taiwan) for geochemical analysis...
The paleo-Moho transition zone (MTZ) of the Kop ophiolite in NE Turkey is mainly composed of dunites, which are locally interlayered with chromitites and contain minor relics of harzburgites. Large Fe isotopic variations were observed for magnesiochromite (−0.14 to 0.06‰) and olivine (−0.12 to 0.14‰) from the MTZ rocks. In individual samples, magnesiochromite has lighter Fe isotopic compositions than...
The Kop ophiolite in NE Turkey is a forearc fragment of Neo-Tethys ocean, consisting mainly of a paleo-Moho transition zone (MTZ) and a harzburgitic upper mantle unit. Locally, the Kop MTZ contains cumulate dunites and high-Cr chromitites (Cr# up to ca. 79), which are cut by pyroxenites. Dunites and chromitites in the MTZ have REE concentrations that are 1–2 orders of magnitude lower than those of...
Continental basalts have complicated petrogenetic processes, and their chemical compositions can be affected by multi-staged geological evolution. Compared to lithophile elements, chalcophile elements including Ni, platinum-group elements (PGEs) and Cu are sensitive to sulfide segregation and fractional crystallization during the evolution of mantle-derived magmas and can provide constraints on the...
The Xiadong mafic–ultramafic complex is located in the Central Tianshan Terrane, the southern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. It is composed of dunite, hornblende clinopyroxenite, hornblendite and hornblende gabbro. Several dykes of hornblendite, hornblende gabbro and gabbroic diorite cut the main body. These rocks are characterized by adcumulate textures. The dunites contain high-Fo (92...
