青藏高原东北缘红墙玄武岩的年代学、地球化学特征及成因初探

西秦岭地处青藏高原东北缘,是古亚洲构造域、特提斯构造域和滨太平洋构造域的交接转换带,也是分野中国大陆东、西部地理与地质构造的关键部位。该区广泛分布了大量中生代火山岩。由于该区基础地质研究程度很低,特别是缺少可靠的年代学和地球化学资料,对该区中生代火山岩的成因及地球动力学背景一直存在争议,影响了人们对西秦岭大地构造属性及发展演化历史的全面认识。文中提供了甘肃西秦岭夏河县麻当乡红墙村中生代玄武岩的岩相学、地球化学和同位素年代学研究资料和数据,对火山岩的成因与动力学条件进行了初步讨论。红墙玄武岩中分离出的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明,该玄武岩形成于(104.8±0.99)Ma(MSWD=0.63),与野外观察结果一致,证明红墙玄武岩是早白垩世火山作用产物。岩相学和地球化学的观察和研究显示,该套岩石以出现斜长石斑晶、基质中出现大量斜长石微晶或微斑晶为特征,岩石具有较高的SiO2、Al2O3、Na2O和较低的CaO,属于钠质碱性玄武岩,而不同于该研究区东部礼县—宕昌一带新生代超钾质火山岩。红墙玄武岩在地球化学方面具有富集轻稀土和部分高场强元素(如Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Ti等),亏损大离子亲石元素(Rb、K等),正的εNd(t)=5.9～7.5和低的87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.703 3～0.705 6以及206Pb/204Pb(t)=17.707～18.319、207Pb/204Pb(t)=15.398～15.626和208Pb/204Pb(t)=37.266～38.454等特征。所有这些特征一致表明,红墙早白垩世玄武岩具有与大陆OIB相似的地球化学特征,其源区可能具有DMM和PREMA端员混合的特点,推测其主要来自亏损的软流圈地幔。结合对火山岩产出大地构造背景的综合分析及与礼县—宕昌新生代超钾质火山岩的对比,提出红墙早白垩世钠质碱性玄武岩是大陆裂谷岩浆作用的产物,其成因和动力学背景与自中生代以来南北构造带的裂谷性质及其发展演化有关。西秦岭东、西两段新生代与早白垩世火山岩在岩相学、全岩化学以及岩石系列和类型方面的差异,可能与不同时期软流圈地幔源区的演化、岩浆起源深度和部分熔融程度等有关。     

Petrogenesis of volcanic rocks in the Sangxiu Formation,central segment of Tethyan Himalaya: A probable example of plume–lithosphere interaction

The ∼133 Ma volcanic rocks of Sangxiu Formation are distributed in the eastern part of the central Tethyan Himalaya and belong paleogeographically to the northeastern margin of Greater India. These volcanic rocks include alkaline basalts and felsic volcanic rocks. Major and trace element abundances and whole-rock isotopic data for selected samples of these volcanic rocks are used to infer their petrogenesis. Geochemically, the Sangxiu basalts are closely similar to the Emeishan high-Ti basalts. Major and trace element data and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions suggest that the Sangxiu basalts may have been derived from an OIB-type mantle source, with discernable contributions from subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). The basaltic magmas may have formed as a result of the infiltration of plume-derived melts into the base of the lithosphere in a continental rift setting. The Sangxiu felsic volcanic rocks share most of the geochemical features of A-type granite, and have Sr–Nd isotopic compositions which differ considerably from the Sangxiu basalts, suggesting that they originated from the anatexis of ensialic continental crust. The Sangxiu volcanic rocks may be considered as the consequence of an interaction between the Kerguelen hotspot and the lithosphere of the northeastern margin of Greater India at ∼133 Ma, and may represent the initial stage of the separation of Greater India from southwestern Australia.     

Upper Carboniferous retroarc volcanism with submarine and subaerial facies at the western Gondwana margin of Argentina

During Late Carboniferous times a continental magmatic arc developed at the western margin of Gondwana in South America, as several marine sedimentary basins were formed at the same time in the retroarc region. North of 33°S, at Cordón Agua del Jagüel, Precordillera of Mendoza, Argentina, a volcanic sequence crops out which was emplaced in a submarine environment with some subaerial exposures, and it is intercalated in marine sediments of Agua del Jagüel Formation, which fills of one of these retroarc basins. This paper presents, for the first time, a facies analyses together with geochemical and isotopic data of this volcanic suite, suggesting its deposition in an ensialic retroarc marine basin. The volcanic succession comprises debris flows with either sedimentary or volcanic fragments, base surge, resedimented massive and laminated dacitic–andesitic hyaloclastite, pillow lava, basic hyaloclastite and dacitic–andesitic lavas and hyaloclastite facies. Its composition is bimodal, either basaltic or dacitic–andesitic. The geochemistry data indicate a subalkaline, low K calk-alkaline and metaluminous affinity. The geochemistry of the basalts points to an origin of the magmas from a depleted mantle source with some crustal contamination. Conversely, the geochemistry of the dacites–andesites shows an important participation of both crustal components and subduction related fluids. A different magmatic source for the basalts than for the dacites–andesites is also supported by Sr and Nd isotopic initial ratios and Nd model ages. The characteristics of this magmatic suite suggest its emplacement in an extensional setting probably associated with the presence of a steepened subduction zone at this latitude during Upper Carboniferous times.

北大巴山志留系滔河口组火山碎屑岩相序、组构特征及古火山作用环境分析

志留系滔河口组是一套发育于北大巴山地区的火山岩-火山碎屑岩-沉积岩组合。在1:10000地质填图和大比例地质剖面实测基础上,通过详细的火山碎屑岩相序和组构分析,本文在滔河口组火山-地层中共识别和划分出22个岩相,5个相组合类型。区域岩相测量与对比揭示,滔河口组火山-沉积宏观序列自下而上由玄武岩相(一般下部为块状粗粒/细粒玄武岩相、上部为枕状玄武岩相)、凝灰角砾岩相、再沉积富辉石火山碎屑砾岩相、无结构或叠瓦状凝灰质粗砾岩相、凝灰质砂岩相、生物灰岩相或泥岩相构成。岩相组合横向变化显示滔河口组古火山活动西强东弱,火山活动类型为斯托柏林型(Strombolian-type eruption)喷发。相对地,研究区西部火山-沉积序列发育较为完整。滔河口组的地层序列与岩石组合与板内火山活动产物相似,本文认为北大巴山地区志留系滔河口组火山岩-火山碎屑岩-沉积岩组合形成于洋岛或海山构造环境,是板内拉伸作用的产物。

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of Early Cretaceous andesitic-dacitic rocks,western Qinling(Central China):Geochronological and geochemical constraints

~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar and zircon U-Pb geochronological and whole-rock geochemical analyses for the Laozanggou intermediate-acidic volcanic rocks from the western Qinling orogenic belt,Central China,constrain their petrogenesis and the nature of the Late Mesozoic lithospheric mantle.These volcanic rocks yield hornblende or whole-rock ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar plateau ages of 128.3-129.7 Ma and zircon U-Pb age of131.3±1.3 Ma.They exhibit Si02 of 56.86-66.86 wt.%,K_2 O of 0.99-2.46 wt.% and MgO of 1.03-4.47 wt.%,with Mg# of 42-56.They are characterized by arc-like geochemical signatures with significant enrichment in LILE and LREE and depletion in HFSE.All the samples have enriched Sr-Nd isotopic compositions with initial ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr ratios ranging from 0.7112 to 0.7149 and ε_(Nd)(t) values from 10.2 to 6.3.Such geochemical signatures suggest that these volcanic rocks were derived from enriched lithospherederived magma followed by the assimilation and fractional crystallization(AFC)process.The generation of the enriched lithospheric mantle is likely related to the modification of sediment-derived fluid in response to the Triassic subduction/collision event in Qinling orogenic belt.The early Cretaceous detachment of the lithospheric root provides a reasonable mechanism for understanding the petrogenesis of the Laozanggou volcanic sequence in the western Qinling orogenic belt.

湘东南汝城地区发育一套由基性玄武岩和中酸性安山质-英安质岩石组成的火山岩建造,属于低钾拉斑系列,该火山岩系中两个玄武岩的K-Ar年龄分别为124.5±2.5Ma和127.6±1.9Ma,属晚侏罗—早白垩世产物。在主、微量元素上两者成分存在明显差异。其中安山质-英安质岩石具有高MgO特征,属高MgO岩石,LILE富集、Nb-Ta、Sr-P亏损强烈,(La/Yb)N=6.7～7.9,Eu*/Eu=0.74～0.85,具岛弧型微量元素配分型式,87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.71079～0.71118,εNd(t)=-7.64～-8.16,与adakites高Mg岩石有着明显的差别,可能是富集岩石圈地幔熔融后直接分异的产物;玄武岩LILE富集,Nb-Ta富集,(La/Yb)cn=4.0～4.3,Eu*/Eu=1.00～1.16,具OIB型微量元素配分型式,87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.70812～0.70832,εNd(t)=0.48～1.03,其源区具二元混合趋势,其源区可能是富集型岩石圈地幔端员与亏损的软流圈地幔端员的混合产物。汝城地区晚中生代玄武岩和高Mg安山质-英安质岩石源区属性的限定及其相互的空间依存关系表明该区晚中生代时有着较薄的岩石圈厚度,处于岩石圈伸展减薄的大地构造背景。     

青海省同仁地区早白垩世大陆裂谷环境火山岩的确定及意义

西秦岭西端在同仁地区沿近南北向断裂分布一套典型的灰紫色陆相火山岩,岩性组合为灰紫色块层状-杏仁状橄榄玄武岩、安山玄武岩、火山角砾岩夹灰紫色厚层状复成分砾岩、灰紫色—青灰色中厚层状含砾粗砂岩和灰紫色薄层状泥岩,火山岩以碱性系列为主,其形成时代为早白垩世。其地球化学显示轻稀土富集,Eu具轻度正异常,不相容元素富集,岩石具有较高的87Sr/86Sr、143Nd/144Nd、εNd和206Pb/204Pb特点。岩石的εNd均值为7.69,εSr均值为-10.7,其物源与典型的EM或HIMU型洋岛玄武岩明显不同,物源受部分大陆壳的混染,岩浆源成分属于EM与HIMU幔源间混合成因。综合分析其为大陆板块内部拉张环境下的岩浆活动产物,是形成于伸展构造背景下类似于大陆裂谷环境的火山岩。     

白垩纪时期赣杭构造带的伸展作用

前人研究认为赣杭构造带在晚中生代有两个阶段拉张活动:第一阶段发生于晚侏罗世,造成中酸性-基性火山岩喷发;第二阶段发生于早白垩世晚期,形成断陷红盆带,伴随基性玄武岩喷溢。以白垩纪基性火山岩地球化学和同位素数据为依据,认为两个阶段玄武岩浆喷发均发生于白垩纪时期,但对早期构造-岩浆活动的认识与之不同,且赣江断裂带对这期活动有限制和转换作用。早期((143±1.1)~(139±0.7)Ma)在赣杭带西端没有酸性岩出露,赣江断裂带附近的玄武岩浆来自亏损地幔,没有地壳物质混染,属于碱性玄武岩系列,属于板内拉张作用的产物。晚期(105~98 Ma)的玄武岩浆来自于富集地幔,有俯冲陆壳成分的不均匀混染,岩石属于拉斑玄武岩和碱性橄榄玄武岩系列,玄武岩浆喷发伴随着强烈的区域伸展作用,形成一系列红层盆地。     

地壳再循环与大陆碱性玄武岩的成因：以山东新生代碱性玄武岩为例

      大陆碱性玄武岩在地球化学特征上与洋岛玄武岩高度相似,被看做是板内玄武岩在大陆上的典型代表。本文以山东 新生代碱性玄武岩为例,探讨大陆碱性玄武岩的成因。山东新生代碱性玄武岩按时空分布特征可以分为两类：早期定向分 布、相互平行的三个火山群（包括鲁西的潍坊火山群、沂水火山群和胶东的蓬莱火山群）和晚期杂乱分布的孤立小火山。 早期火山群碱性较弱,以碱性橄榄玄武岩和碧玄岩为主,微量元素特征和同位素组成变化大;晚期孤立小火山碱性强,以 碧玄岩和霞石岩为主,微量元素特征和同位素组成较均一。因此,从岩性组成和时空分布特征看,山东的火山群相当于洋 岛/海山的造盾期玄武岩,而孤立小火山接近于洋岛/海山上的复苏期玄武岩。潍坊火山群和沂水火山群在Sr-Nd,Nd-Hf同位 素相关图上都存在从亏损到富集的两端元混合排列趋势,但两者的排列趋势有一点区别。其中同位素富集的端元相对于原 始地幔具有偏低的Ce/Pb比和偏高的Ba/Th比,指示其为大陆下地壳物质。同时,这种富集端元的Th/La比值明显低于大陆下 地壳的平均值,其放射成因Hf相对于放射成因Nd过剩（即Nd-Hf同位素解耦）,说明这种富集端元不是岩浆上升过程中混染 的下地壳物质,而是经历过早期熔融的再循环大陆下地壳（榴辉岩或者石榴辉石岩）。鲁西两个平行火山群在同位素排列上 的区别类似于夏威夷玄武岩中的KEA链和LOA链,因此,山东的平行火山群的深部动力学背景可能是地幔柱,再循环大陆 下地壳物质可能是这种地幔柱的重要组成物质。晚期的孤立小火山在地球化学特征上与火成碳酸岩非常相似,如在原始地 幔标准化图上都具有K,Pb,Zr,Hf,Ti的负异常等特征,因此我们认为其地幔源区为碳酸盐化的橄榄岩。孤立小火山中等亏损 的Sr,Nd,Hf同位素特征支持碳酸岩熔体来自年轻的（中生代？）再循环洋壳。

秦岭岩群中两类斜长角闪岩的性质和时代及其地质意义

在北秦岭造山带核部秦岭岩群内发育两类不同产状的斜长角闪岩.一类与秦岭岩群中的大理岩紧密共生,呈规模较大的似层状或较小块体产于大理岩内,另一类则呈密集岩墙群型式侵入于秦岭岩群南段二云母石英片岩中.不同的产出状态表明两类斜长角闪岩的成因和时代存在显著差异,也具有不同的地质构造意义.地球化学上,两类不同产状的斜长角闪岩的原岩皆为玄武岩质的.侵入秦岭岩群二云母石英片岩中的斜长角闪岩墙群形成于板内拉张环境,SHRIMP锆石U-Pb测年揭示该类斜长角闪岩形成于晚奥陶世(449±11Ma),Sr-Nd同位素特征显示其岩浆源区为亏损地幔源区,40Ar/39Ar热年代学研究显示该类斜长角闪岩的角闪岩相变质作用发生于石炭纪末期(301.3±6.4Ma).地球化学和Sr-Nd同位素特征显示与秦岭岩群大理岩共生的似层状或块状斜长角闪岩的形成环境与侵入云母石英片岩中的斜长角闪岩墙群的存在显著差异,其形成于洋岛(OIB)或海山环境.40Ar/39Ar热年代学研究显示该类斜长角闪岩于晚二叠世(258.1±5.7Ma)发生了角闪岩相变质作用.不同性质、形成和变质时代、相似的变质作用等特点表明,秦岭岩群中的两类角闪岩分属不同性质的构造块体,秦岭岩群高级变地质地体可能是一个构造拼合地体.斜长角闪岩岩墙为晚奥陶世(449±11Ma)侵入秦岭岩群云英片岩中的基性岩墙群,是北秦岭晚加里东期后造山期热收缩而致的地壳伸展或岩圈拆离减薄的产物.与秦岭岩群大理岩共生的斜长角闪岩则可能是洋隆体的基性喷出岩+碳酸盐岩帽组合,是中二叠世(312～260Ma)期间构造移置而来的外来块体.     

辽西早白垩世义县组火山岩的地质特征及其构造背景

早白垩世义县组火山岩虽辽西地区分布最为广泛的中代火山岩。岩石学、元素－同位素地球化学研究表明，义县组火山岩主要为高钾钙碱性系列，相容元素（Cr,Co,Ni,V等）和大离子亲石元素（如Rb,Sr,Ba等）相对富集，市场强元素（如Nb,Ta,Ti,Zr,Hf等）和放射性元素（U,Th）相对亏损，轻重稀土元素分 馏明显，δEu弱负异常，放射成因的Nd,Sr,Pb同位素较低， 具有板内和活动大陆边缘弧地球化学特点。作者认为辽西早白垩世义县组火山岩起源于富集的岩石圈地幔的部分熔融。岩浆在演化过程中以结晶分异作用为主，伴有少量的地壳混染作用，即AFC过程。结合区域构造，作者认为义县组火山岩形成于板内岩石圈的不均匀拉伸环境，是燕山板内造山作用的产物，与中生代古太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲没有直接关系。     

Sr-Nd-Pb isotope ratios, geochemical compositions, and 40Ar/39Ar data of lavas from San Felix Island (Southeast Pacific): Implications for magma genesis and sources

We present the first trace element and age data combined with new Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope ratios on lavas from San Felix Island in the Southeast Pacific. A ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age of 421 ± 18 ka implies young intraplate volcanic activity in this region relative to the ∼22 Ma old volcanism on the neighbouring Easter seamount chain (ESC). The incompatible element compositions of the San Felix magmas are similar to those of EM1-type basalts from Gough, although the isotopic compositions differ. San Felix formed some 20 Ma after the ESC plume affected the plate in this region but no chemical signature of the ESC material is observed in the young volcanic rocks. The composition of the San Felix basalts indicates a mantle source containing old continental lithospheric material from either metasomatized mantle or recycled sediments, which ascends in a weak mantle plume.     

Combined Sr,Nd, Pb and Li isotope geochemistry of alkaline lavas from northern James Ross Island (Antarctic Peninsula) and implications for back-arc magma formation

We present a comprehensive geochemical data set for a suite of back-arc alkaline volcanic rocks from James Ross Island Volcanic Group (JRIVG), Antarctic Peninsula. The elemental and isotopic (Sr, Nd, Pb and Li) composition of these Cenozoic basalts emplaced east of the Antarctic Peninsula is different from the compositions of the fore-arc alkaline volcanic rocks in Southern Shetlands and nearby Bransfield Strait. The variability in elemental and isotopic composition is not consistent with the JRIVG derivation from a single mantle source but rather it suggests that the magma was mainly derived from a depleted mantle with subordinate OIB-like enriched mantle component (EM II). The isotopic data are consistent with mantle melting during extension and possible roll-back of the subducted lithosphere of the Antarctic plate. Magma contamination by Triassic–Early Tertiary clastic sediments deposited in the back-arc basin was only localized and affected Li isotopic composition in two of the samples, while most of the basalts show very little variation in δ⁷Li values, as anticipated for “mantle-driven” Li isotopic composition. These variations are difficult to resolve with radiogenic isotope systematics but Li isotopes may prove sensitive in tracking complex geochemical processes acting through the oceanic crust pile, including hydrothermal leaching and seawater equilibration.     

中祁连北缘奥陶纪岩浆弧地层

奥陶纪是祁连山加里东期构造带俯冲-碰撞格局奠定时期。通过区域填图和沉积环境分析及岩石地球化学研究,系统分析了沉积及岩浆作用过程, 认为在肃北县野牛台地区的晚奥陶世地层是中祁连地块西段北缘岩浆弧的组成部分。该地层为一套浅变质的基性-中性火山岩、碎屑岩及少量含化石灰岩组合,由下部海相安静深水还原环境向上部近岸水下河道-滨岸过渡,上部夹有冲积扇-河流相沉积,物源区为近源的岩浆弧和古老结晶基底,反映出自下向上水体变浅、盆地收缩的进积序列。其中的火山岩自下向上由基性向中性转变、由岛弧拉斑-钠质碱性玄武岩向钾质碱性玄武岩过渡,反映出与挤压构造环境相关的成熟岩浆弧火山岩组合特点。晚奥陶世岩浆弧地层、侵入岩与其北的同期构造蛇绿混杂岩带的相伴产出,暗示北祁连西段该时期洋壳在北部向北俯冲的同时,南部还向南俯冲并形成汇聚大陆边缘。     

西昆仑奥依塔格石炭-二叠纪岩浆岩:弧后盆地的产物?

目前对西昆仑石炭-二叠纪火山岩分带性、形成环境、深部地幔源区特征还缺乏较好的约束。在区域地质填图、综合研究的基础上,将西昆仑石炭-二叠纪岩浆岩空间上分为南带、北带。本文展示了北带岩浆岩集中出露的奥依塔格地区玄武岩、辉绿岩、辉长岩的地球化学和Sr、Nd、Pb同位素以及与辉长岩共生的斜长花岗岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS测年数据,以约束该区基性岩形成的时代、构造环境和地幔源区特征,同时与库地玄武岩、阿羌基性火山岩进行了比较。目前的数据表明:(1)斜长花岗岩单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS测年得到313.6±1.6Ma、291.6±1.7Ma两组年龄,后者代表斜长花岗岩和辉长岩的侵位时代,前者可能代表玄武岩的年龄。(2)球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分模式图中,玄武岩显示轻稀土略富集的向右缓倾模式,辉绿岩、辉长岩均为轻稀土略亏损的近平坦型;原始地幔标准化微量元素值均表现为大离子亲石元素相对富集,Nb、Ta谷明显,高场强元素中后半部分呈平坦型模式。(3)地球化学指标显示奥依塔格一带基性岩未受到或很少受到地壳物质混染,样品的Nd、Pb组成可以用来代表地幔源区的成分特点,Nd-Pb、Pb-Pb图解显示其代表的地幔源区具有"Dupal"异常,并于金沙江蛇绿岩中玄武岩代表的地幔源区有较高的一致性。(4)综合岩石地球化学、沉积组合认为奥依塔格基性岩形成于弧后盆地构造环境,区域对比,指出它与库地一些克沟组玄武岩、于田县阿羌组火山岩同为康西瓦-麻扎混杂岩带代表的洋盆向北俯冲,引发弧后盆地扩展的结果。     

Geochemical and isotopic investigation of the Laiwu–Zibo carbonatites from western Shandong Province, China, and implications for their petrogenesis and enriched mantle source

Major and trace element and Nd–Sr isotope data of the Mesozoic Laiwu–Zibo carbonatites (LZCs) from western Shandong Province, China, provide clues to the petrogenesis and the nature of their mantle source. The Laiwu–Zibo carbonatites can be petrologically classified as calcio-, magnesio- and ferro-carbonatites. All these carbonatites show a similarity in geochemistry. On the one hand, they are extremely enriched in Ba, Sr and LREE and markedly low in K, Rb and Ti, which are similar to those global carbonatites, on the other hand, they have extremely high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.7095–0.7106) and very low _Nd (−18.2 to −14.3), a character completely different from those global carbonatites. The small variations in Sr and Nd isotopic ratios suggest that crustal contamination can not modify the primary isotopic compositions of LZC magmas and those values are representatives of their mantle source. The Nd–Sr isotopic compositions of LZCs and their similarity to those of Mesozoic Fangcheng basalts imply that they derived from an enriched lithospheric mantle. The formation of such enriched lithospheric mantle is connected with the major collision between the North China Craton (NCC) and the Yangtze Craton. Crustal materials from the Yangtze Craton were subducted beneath the NCC and melts derived from the subducted crust of the Yangtze Craton produced an enriched Mesozoic mantle, which is the source for the LZCs and Fangcheng basalts. The absence of alkaline silicate rocks, which are usually associated with carbonatites suggest that the LZCs originated from the mantle by directly partial melting.     

The role of mantle-hybridization and crustal contamination in the petrogenesis of lithospheric mantle-derived alkaline rocks: constraints from Os and Hf isotopes

The Rhön area as part of the Central European Volcanic Province (CEVP) hosts an unusual suite of Tertiary 24-Ma old hornblende-bearing alkaline basalts that provide insights into melting and fractionation processes within the lithospheric mantle. These chemically primitive to slightly evolved and isotopically (Sr, Nd, Pb) depleted basalts have slightly lower Hf isotopic compositions than respective other CEVP basalts and Os isotope compositions more radiogenic than commonly observed for continental intraplate alkaline basalts. These highly radiogenic initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios (0.268–0.892) together with their respective Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions are unlikely to result from crustal contamination alone, although a lack of Os data for lower crustal rocks from the area and limited data for CEVP basalts or mantle xenoliths preclude a detailed evaluation. Similarly, melting of the same metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle as inferred for other CEVP basalts alone is also unlikely, based on only moderately radiogenic Os isotope compositions obtained for upper mantle xenoliths from elsewhere in the province. Another explanation for the combined Nd, Sr and Os isotope data is that the lavas gained their highly radiogenic Os isotope composition through a mantle “hybridization”, metasomatism process. This model involves a mafic lithospheric component, such as an intrusion of a sublithospheric primary alkaline melt or a melt derived from subducted oceanic material, sometime in the past into the lithospheric mantle where it metasomatized the ambient mantle. Later at 24 Ma, thermal perturbations during rifting forced the isotopically evolved parts of the mantle together with the peridotitic ambient mantle to melt. This yielded a package of melts with highly correlated Re/Os ratios and radiogenic Os isotope compositions. Subsequent movement through the crust may have further altered the Os isotope composition although this effect is probably minor for the majority of the samples based on radiogenic Nd and unradiogenic Sr isotope composition of the lavas. If the radiogenic Os isotope composition can be explained by a mantle-hybridization and metasomatism model, the isotopic compositions of the hornblende basalts can be satisfied by ca. 5–25% addition of the mafic lithospheric component to an asthenospheric alkaline magma. Although a lack of isotope data for all required endmembers make this model somewhat speculative, the results show that the Re–Os isotope system in continental basalts is able to distinguish between crustal contamination and derivation of continental alkaline lavas from isotopically evolved peridotitic lithosphere that was contaminated by mafic material in the past and later remelted during rifting. The Hf isotopic compositions are slightly less radiogenic than in other alkaline basalts from the province and indicate the derivation of the lavas from low Lu–Hf parts of the lithospheric mantle. The new Os and Hf isotope data constrain a new light of the nature of such metasomatizing agents, at least for these particular rocks, which represent within the particular volcanic complex the first product of the volcanism.
