Southwest Japan, as an active convergent margin, is one of the world's natural laboratories to investigate magmatic and metasomatic processes associated with a long-lived subduction zone. Rocks that carry the imprints of mantle metasomatism in this region include serpentinite, jadeitite, omphacitite, albitite, and rodingite. Here we investigate rodingites, serpentinites and pyroxenites from the accretionary...
Metamorphic regimes in Archean terranes provide important keys to the plate tectonic processes in early Earth. The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the ancient continental nuclei in Asia and recent models propose that the cratonic architecture was built through the assembly of several Archean microcontinental blocks into larger crustal blocks. Here we investigate garnet- and pyroxene-bearing granulite...
The Lützow–Holm Complex (LHC) of East Antarctica forms part of the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian high-grade metamorphic segment of the East African–Antarctic Orogen. Here we present new petrological, geochemical, and zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic data for meta-igneous rocks including charnockite, felsic gneiss, metagabbro, and mafic granulite from the LHC and evaluate the Neoarchean to Early Paleoproterozoic...
The Nilgiri Block is one of the major Archean crustal blocks that define the tectonic framework of southern India. Here we report geologic, petrologic, geochemical, and zircon U–Pb, –REE, and –Lu–Hf data of a highly metamorphosed and disrupted sequence of amphibolite, meta-gabbro, websterite, volcanic tuff, meta-sediment, and banded iron formation (BIF) from the northern fringe of the Nilgiri Block...
Petrogenesis of the ca. 310Ma Benbatu basalts in central Inner Mongolia is crucial for constraining the evolution of the Xing'an Mongolia Orogenic Belt (XMOB), eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The Benbatu basalts have low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7042–0.7048), positive εNd(t) (+8.99 to +9.24) and εHf(t) values (+15.38 to +15.65), and are characterized by relatively flat rare...
