鄂尔多斯白垩系自流水盆地地下水锶同位素特征及其水文学意义

鄂尔多斯白垩系自流水盆地北部为沙漠高原区,南部为黄土高原区。区内经济以农业和畜牧业为主,地下水的污染较弱。地下水中Sr来源于含Sr矿物的溶解。因此,可以利用Sr及^87Sr／^86Sr比值来研究水岩作用和地下水的演化。采自盆地20个Sr及其同位素样品的分析结果表明：在区域上^87Sr／^86Sr比值是不均匀的,西南部^87Sr／^86Sr比值较大（0．711002-0．711570）,其他地区。^87Sr／^86Sr比值较小（0．710378-0．710646）;在局域地下水系统中,埋深小于100m的浅层地下水,Sr含量较低,^87Sr／^86Sr比值较大,而埋深大于100m的深层地下水,Sr含量较高,^87Sr／^86Sr比值较小,并且沿地下水径流方向,sr的浓度越来越高。苏贝淖湖是自流水盆地北部局域地下水系统的一个排泻区,湖水Sr含量较低,而^87Sr／^86Sr比值较大,其Sr同位素组成特征与浅层地下水一致,表明湖水来源于浅层地下水。     

西江干流河水主要离子及锶同位素地球化学组成特征

水环境中锶（Sr）含量及其同位素组成特征的研究有助于认识区域水文地球化学特征及流域盆地岩石风化速率等地球化学行为,因此河流环境中Sr的地球化学行为是地球化学研究的重要课题之一。对中国南方西江干流及其支流河水主要阴阳离子及sr同位素组成进行了分析,发现其水化学组成主要以Ca^2＋、Mg^2＋、HCO3^-和SO4^2-离子为主,分别占阴阳离子组成的80％以上。郁江河水具有较高的Sr同位素比值（^87St／^86Sr=0．71049）和较低的Sr含量（0．0263mg／L）,而西江河水具有较低的Sr同位素比值以及较高的Sr含量,其Sr含量变化范围在0．0667．0．187mg／L之间,平均含量为0．136mg／L;Sr同位素比值变化范围在0．70856．0．70936之间,平均比值为0．70894。与世界主要河流水体中Sr含量平均值（0．078mg／L）及Sr同位素比值（^87Sr／^86Sr=0．7119）相比,西江干流水体具有较高的Sr含量及较低的Sr同位素比值。两条河流河水中主要离子及Sr的来源存在显著差异,西江干流河水中的主要溶解离子及Sr同位素主要源于碳酸盐岩（石灰岩和白云岩）的风化作用,主要受黔江及其上游红水河等化学组成所控制,而郁江则主要受碎屑岩风化作用的影响;同时,中上游地区的酸沉降及人类活动的输入可能导致西江干流水体受到一定程度的污染,而郁江受污染程度则相对较小。     

碳酸盐岩锶同位素比值测定中的残渣分析

通过对经HAc溶解后的碳酸盐样品的残渣进行分析，验证了碳酸盐岩中所合非碳酸盐组分的^87Sr／^86Sr同位素比值较高的事实，同时也论证了HCl溶解碳酸盐岩样品的不足，即造成非碳酸盐的溶解，从而导致^87Sr／^86Sr同位素比值质谱测定结果偏高。     

西天山石炭纪火山岩岩石学及Sr-Nd同位素地球化学研究

西天山石炭纪火山岩连续从玄武岩、粗面质玄武安山岩、粗面安山岩、粗面岩一直演化到流纹岩。不同地区火山岩的同位素组成差别很大。出露在拉尔敦达坂一带的晚石炭世粗面安山岩-粗面岩具有较高的εNd（t）值（＋2、68～＋4．29）和较高的初始^87Sr／^86Sr值（0、7015～0．7051）。新源城南的早石炭世粗面安山岩．流纹岩具有相对较低的εNd（t）值（-0．22～＋0．87）和变化较大的初始^87Sr／^86Sr值（0．7045～0．7068）。早石炭世玄武岩的初始^87Sr／^86Sr值较低且变化范围较小（0．7045～0．7058），εNd（t）值高且变化范围大（＋0．89～＋3．04）。本文的同位素地球化学资料以及前期的年代学研究表明，西天山晚泥盆-早石炭世岛弧自西向东逐渐消亡，取而代之的是晚石炭世碰撞后富钾岩浆的喷发。     

X射线荧光测定低量铷、锶及其应用

岩石或矿物的铷、锶等时线年龄，除进行Rb／Sr比值的草测外，必须准确测定样品中^87Sr/^86Sr和^87Rb/^86Sr的比值。前者可直接由质谱测定，也可用稀释法质谱测定值计算而得；后者一般用同位素稀释法测定^87Rb及^86Sr。本方法是用质谱直接测定町^87Sr/^86Sr比值，而^87Rb／^86Sr比值则由X射线荧光光谱法测定了Rb／Sr重量比之后，按下式计算获得：     

济阳拗陷第三纪玄武岩的Nd—Sr同位素研究

本文报道了济阳拗陷29个第三纪玄武岩的Nd，Sr同位素组成。结果表明，该区早、晚第三纪玄武岩的Nd-Sr同位素组成变化且具有一定的区别：早经三纪玄武岩的εNd值为0．70481－0．70830；晚第三纪玄武央的εNd值为0．1－2．3，^87Sr/^86Sr比值为0．70421－0．70530。鉴于εNd与1/Nd有^87Sr/^86Sr与1／Sr之间不存在相关特征，Nb正异常以及SiO2与MgO，Fe2O3 FeO,P2O5呈负相关，与Al2O3呈正相关，但与K2I为不存在相关特征，因此，地壳混染作用并不是第三纪玄武岩同位素组成变化的主要原因。玄武岩^87Sr/^86Sr比值的升高是由热液蚀变造成的，而εNd值的变化而归因于源区混合。如果热液蚀变作用没有发生，这些玄武岩的所有数据点在Nd-Sr相关图上将可能位于地幔系列内部。这表明第三纪玄武岩主要是由DMM和EMI两个端员组分不同程度混合形成，EMII的贡献是次要的。     

天青石中锶同位素组成测定——酸溶和碱熔样品分解方法的对比

利用酸溶法和碱熔法分解天青石样品，经过离子交换分离得到纯净的Sr，测定^87Sr／^86Sr同位素比值，实验结果表明两种样品分解方法得到的^87Sr／^86Sr同位素比值的偏差〈0.0001，证明在天青石锶同位素组成测定中，酸溶法和碱熔法都是可行的；但与碱熔法相比，酸溶法更简易并且利于本底值的控制。     

牦牛坪稀土矿床碳酸岩Pb同位素地球化学

四川牦牛坪稀土矿床与稀土矿化时空密切共生的碳酸岩一正长岩碱性杂岩体的成岩时代为喜山期，碳酸岩呈脉状沿正长岩岩体中心侵入。两者具有相似的^206Pb／^204Pb和^208Pb／^204Pb比值，但碳酸岩^207Ph／^204Ph比值变化较大，且低于正长岩。这种差异并不能归因于地壳物质的混染作用，而是反映了地幔源区的特征。在Ph、Sr和Nd同位素图解中，矿区碳酸岩和正长岩显示低Ph，高Sr同位素的特征，部份碳酸岩Ph同位素落在MORB内，而Sr和Nd同位素明显不同于MORB，相对接近洋岛玄武岩的Ⅰ型富集地幔(EM1)。喜山期扬子板块呈楔形体插入龙门山地壳之中，受挤压的中下部地壳向前陆深处发生俯冲，并延伸至攀西裂谷顶部富集地幔体中，被交代的富集地幔经不同程度的和不连续的部份熔融作用形成碱性岩浆，整个演化过程导致了源区成份的不均一性。     

望天鹅火山岩石地球化学特征及其成因

东北吉林望天鹅新生代火山岩（7．04—1．86Ma）主要由玄武粗安岩和碱性流纹岩组成。玄武粗安岩的SiO2介于49．38％-53．31％之间;K2O＋Na2O为4．27％-7．72％;∑REE为163．69×10^-6-258．55×10^-6,Eu异常不明显,δEu为0．72～1．17;碱性流纹岩具高SiO2（70．39％～71．49％）含量,高碱（K2O＋Na2O为9．28％～9．49％）,高稀土总量（∑REE介于309．30×10^-6～465．03×10^-6之间）,明显的Eu负异常,3Eu为0．52～0．71。碱性流纹岩的微量元素含量较玄武粗安岩高,且具有明显的Sr、P、Ti负异常。望天鹅火山岩的^87Sr／^86Sr比值在0．705156-0．709029之间,而^144Nd／^143Nd比值变化较小,介于0．512295～0．512602之间;放射性成因Pb同位素变化范围也较小,^206Ph／^204Pb为17．254～18．090,^207Ph／^204Pb为15．460～15．507,^208Pb／^204Ph为37．278—38．048。综合分析火山岩的主量元素、微量元素和Sr-Nd—Pb同位素特点,初步认为望天鹅火山的玄武粗安岩和碱性流纹岩具有相同的地幔源区。玄武粗安岩起源于微弱富集上地幔,在上升过程中结晶分异形成了碱性流纹岩。     

大陆裂谷环境中基性和酸性岩浆作用的关系：中国西北部天山石炭纪碰撞后裂谷酸性火山岩的岩石地球化学研究

本文报道了天山石炭纪裂谷酸性火山岩的岩石地球化学数据，目的在于探讨酸性岩浆的岩石成因。天山石炭纪裂谷火山岩的不相容元素对不相容元素图解显示稳定的正相关趋势；酸性熔岩同位素比值。^37Sr／^86Sr（t）=0．69988～0．70532；εNd（t）=4．76～8．00；^206Pb／^204Pb（t）=17．435～18．017；^207Pb／^204Pb（t）=15．438～15．509；^208Pb／^238Pb（t）=37．075～37．723的区间含盖了基性熔岩同位素比值的范围。这些数据表明流纹岩和玄武岩之间有一种成因联系，但还不能确定酸性岩和玄武岩间究竟是分离结晶还是部分熔融关系。     

Rb-Sr age of the Sivamalai alkaline complex,Tamil Nadu

The Sivamalai alkaline complex comprises ferro-, pyroxene-hornblende- and nepheline-syenites. Field relations show that the nepheline syenites followed the emplacement of non-feldspathoidal syenites. Mineralogical data on the syenite suite have been reviewed. The Sivamalai alkaline rocks are not strongly enriched in rare-earth elements like most miaskites. Rb-Sr isotopic analyses of a suite of six samples from the various members of the complex define an isochron corresponding to an age of 623 ±21 Ma (2σ) and initial Sr ratio of 0.70376 ±14 (2σ). This is consistent with a model of fractional crystallization of a parent magma derived from an upper mantle source with apparently no isotopic evidence for more than one magma source for the complex. The Sivamalai alkaline complex represents a Pan-African alkaline magmatic event in the southern granulite terrane of Peninsular India.     

Enriched Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle in the Northern Part of the South Indian Granulite Terrain: Evidence from Yelagiri and Sevattur Syenite Plutons, Tamil Nadu, South India

In the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, there are a number of alkaline plutons of Proterozoic age. In the northern part of the South Indian granulite terrain, the Yelagiri (syenite, pyroxenite) and Sevattur (syenite, pyroxenite, carbonatite) plutons intrude Archaean epidote-hornblende gneisses. Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the Yelagiri and Sevattur plutons indicate that the syenitic magmas formed from highly differentiated mantle-derived alkali basalts. The Yelagiri and Sevattur syenites are characterized by evolved Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, pronounced enrichment in LILE and large negative Nb anomalies. Trace element and Sr-Nd isotope characteristics of the Yelagiri and Sevattur syenites are similar to those of the subduction-related alkaline rocks. The scarcity of geological evidence for subduction activity at the time of syenite intrusion during Neoproterozoic does not support a link between the alkaline magmatism and subduction. However, our data are consistent with the model of derivation of the Yelagiri and Sevattur syenites from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, which was previously enriched by slab derived component. The geochemical and isotopic signatures of other mantle-derived intrusive rocks in the northern part of the South Indian granulite terrain with ages ranging from ca. 2.5 Ga to 0.75 Ga also support the above idea.     

Isotopic Geochronology of the Xianghongdian Alkaline Complex, Northern Margin of the Dabie Mountains, China

To the north of the Qinling-Dabie orogen there exists a Mesozoic (K1) granite-syenite belt called the Beihuaiyang granite-syenite belt, in which the Xianghongdian alkaline complex outcrops in the Devonian Foziling schist and also intruded into the slightly earlier volcanic rocks. This alkaline complex is composed of syenite, alkaline syenite and nepheline syenite, but the nepheline syenite occurs inside the alkaline syenite in the pod-like, irregular, lenticular or layered shape. Researches on the petrogenesis of the alkaline complex and the relationship between the alkaline syenite and the nepheline syenite must rely on precise isotopic ages. Previous researches have reported iso-topic dating results merely by the 40Ar/39Ar method on hornblende and biotite separated from the alkaline syenite and nepheline syenite. In view of this, the authors have made fairly detailed isotopic geochronological studies of the alkaline syenite and nepheline syenite by using Rb-Sr isochron for the whole rock and minerals,     

四川牦牛坪稀土矿床萤石Sr、Nd同位素对地幔成矿流体的指示意义

萤石是四川牦牛坪稀土矿床主要的脉石矿物之一，其形成贯穿了整个稀土成矿过程，因此同位素的研究对探讨萤石和稀土成矿流体的来源具有重要的价值。矿区6件萤石样品的Sr、Nd同位素组成没有明显差异，结合围岩（碳酸岩－正长岩，花岗岩）同位素组成特征研究表明，不同颜色、来自不同矿石类型、具有不同REE类型的萤石为同源产物，稀土成矿流体来源于富集地幔，与区内碳酸岩－正长岩岩浆活动密切相关。     

Petrology and geochemistry of Zijinshan alkaline intrusive complex in Shanxi Province, western North China Craton: Implication for magma mixing of different sources in an extensional regime

In situ zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions and whole rock geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data are presented for the Zijinshan alkaline intrusive complex from the Shanxi Province, western North China Craton. Salic rocks dominate the complex with the monzonite occurring in the outermost and pseudoleucite phonolitic breccia in the center. The intrusion took place 127 Ma ago with the earliest emplacement of monzonite and the termination of cryptoexplosive pseudoleucite phonolitic breccia. All rocks from this complex show LREE enrichment and HFSE depletion and exhibit enriched to depleted Sr–Nd isotopic features. The presence of inherited zircons and enriched Hf isotopic compositions in zircon rims, along with the enriched whole rock Sr–Nd isotopic compositions, indicate that the monzonite was formed through the mixing of lithospheric mantle-derived magma with lower crust-derived melts. The diopside syenite and nepheline-bearing diopside syenite are more depleted than the monzonite in terms of the Sr and Nd isotopes, together with their very high concentrations of LILE, we proposed that they originated from a mixed mantle source of enriched lithospheric mantle and depleted asthenosphere. The nepheline syenite has very low concentrations of MgO, Ni, Cr, suggesting that the magma underwent significant crystal fractionation. The most depleted Sr and Nd isotopic compositions ((⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i = 0.7036–0.7042, ε_Nd(t) = − 0.2–0.3) among all rock types indicate a great contribution of asthenosphere to the nepheline syenite. The Zijinshan complex and its related crust-mantle interaction occurred in an extensional environment which resulted in continuously asthenospheric upwelling. Such an extensional environment might have been developed during the post-orogenic stage of the Late Paleozoic amalgamation of North China Craton with Mongolian continents and subsequent Mongol–Okhotsk ocean closure.     

滇东南个旧白云山碱性岩年代学和地球化学及成因意义滇东南个旧白云山碱性岩年代学和地球化学及成因意义

报道了滇东南个旧超大型锡多金属矿区西区北部白云山碱性岩新的锆石U-Pb年龄、全岩地球化学和Sr-Nd同位素数据。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,白云山碱性正长岩形成于晚白垩世（80.0±0.6 Ma）,与个旧地区的中基性岩及花岗岩均为同一次构造岩浆事件的产物;碱性正长岩与霞石正长岩具有相似的主微量元素地球化学特征及Sr-Nd同位素组成,暗示二者很可能是源于同一富集地幔源区并经历了不同程度演化的产物。结合已有的元素和同位素组成结果,认为碱性岩、中基性岩和成矿花岗岩很可能分别源自富集的岩石圈地幔、正常的岩石圈地幔和地壳源区。在晚白垩世伸展构造背景控制下,源于不均一岩石圈地幔的碱性和中基性的岩浆底侵,促使中下地壳岩石部分熔融形成花岗质熔体,在上升至近地表过程中引起构造活动带成矿物质的富集,从而形成个旧超大型锡多金属矿床的矿化格局。可以说,源于富集地幔的碱性岩浆在含矿花岗质岩浆的成岩成矿过程中,应不只是提供热量的贡献。     

Rb-Sr Geochronology,Nd-Sr Isotopes and Whole Rock Geochemistry of Yelagiri and Sevattur Syenites,Tamil Nadu,South India

Alkaline magmatism during the late Proterozoic is an important event in the northern part of the South Indian granulite terrain. A number of alkaline plutons comprising saturated syenite and ultramafic rocks often associated with carbonatite are found localized along NEHYPHEN;SW trending lineaments, which are considered as deep crustal fractures. Along one such lineament, the alkaline complexes of Yelagiri, Sevattur and Samalpatti have intruded into the country rocks comprising epidote hornblende gneiss. The isotope characteristics and geochemistry of Yelagiri and Sevattur plutons are examined in this paper. Whole rock Rbhyphen;Sr isochron ages of the Yelagiri and Sevattur syenites are 757±32 Ma and 756±11 Ma respectively. The close spatial relationship, similarities in age, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of these plutons strongly suggest their close genetic relationship. The initial Sr and Nd isotope ratios of the Sevattur carbonatites suggest their derivation from an alkali metal and LREE enriched mantle source. However, the silicate rocks of the Yelagiri and Sevattur plutons have distinctly different isotopic characteristics from this enriched mantle source. Combined geochemical and isotopic characteristics of these silicate rocks indicate that silicate rocks of both plutons are derived independently from isotopically different sources from those of carbonatites. Moreover, comparison with the isotopic characteristics of Archean crustal rocks in South India indicates that the source regions of both silicate rocks are lowerhyphen;crustal portions, which are deeper than any other crustal portion exposed in South India, or isotopically metasomatized crustal portions by volatile influx from carbonatite.     

Genetic implications of minor-element and Sr-isotope geochemistry of alkaline rock complexes in the Wet Mountains area,Fremont and Custer counties,Colorado

Concentrations of Rb, Sr, and REE (rare earth elements), and Sr-isotopic ratios in rocks of the Cambrian alkaline complexes in the Wet Mountains area, Colorado, show that rocks formed as end-products of a variety of magmas generated from different source materials. The complexes generally contain a bimodal suite of cumulus mafic-ultramafic rocks and younger leucocratic rocks that include nepheline syenite and hornblende-biotite syenite in the McClure Mountain Complex, nepheline syenite pegmatite in the Gem Park Complex, and quartz syenite in the complex at Democrat Creek. The nepheline syenite and hornblende-biotite syenite at McClure Mountain (535±5m.y.) are older than the syenitic rocks at Democrat Creek (511±8m.y.). REE concentrations indicate that the nepheline syenite at McClure Mountain cannot be derived from the hornblende-biotite syenite, which it intrudes, or from the associated mafic-ultramafic rocks. REE also indicate that mafic-ultramafic rocks at McClure Mountain have a source distinct from that of the mafic-ultramafic rocks at Democrat Creek.In the McClure Mountain Complex, initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios for mafic-ultramafic rocks (0.7046±0.0002) are similar to those of hornblende-biotite syenite (0.7045±0.0002), suggesting a similar magmatic source, whereas ratios for carbonatites (0.7038±0.0002) are similar to those of nepheline syenite (0.7038±0.0002). At Democrat Creek, initial ratios of syenitic rocks (0.7032±0.0002) and mafic-ultramafic rocks (0.7028±0.0002) are different from those of corresponding rocks at McClure Mountain.     

Isotopic geochemical characterization of selected nepheline syenites and phonolites from the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex, Minas Gerais, Brazil

This paper presents and discusses the isotopic data from the hydrothermal studies of the Poços de Caldas Natural Analogue Project. The purpose of these studies was to elucidate the mass transport of relevant elements and isotopes associated with hydrothermal mineralization and alteration at the Osamu Utsumi uranium mine, as applicable to high-temperature radwaste isolation (particularly in the U.S. nuclear waste program). Research efforts were focused on studying the thermal, chemical and hydrologic nature of the palaeohydrothermal regime associated with a breccia pipe at the Osamu Utsumi mine, and related to the geochemical, geochronological and petrological characterization studies of unaltered regional nepheline syenite and phonolite.The regional rocks studies have a vertically elongated δD, δ¹⁸O pattern, which possibly indicates meteoric water/rock interaction. Regression of Rb---Sr whole-rock isotopic data for the regional nepheline syenite and phonolite samples did not produce isochrons. An internal, mineral-separate isochron regression from a nepheline syenite sample, considered representative of unaltered nepheline syenite of the Poços de Caldas plateau, yields an age of 78 Ma, and an initial ratio of approximately 0.7051. The initial ratios of the regional nepheline syenites are possibly indicative of a mantle source for the alkaline magmatism, with some incorporation of old, high Rb/Sr crustal material. The greater-than-mantle values of δ¹⁸O, if not due solely to surficial processes, also appear to require some assimilation of crustal material. Sm---Nd isotopic data for the regional rocks do not define any isochrons, although the nepheline syenite samples conform very well to a calculated reference isochron for 78 Ma and a fixed initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.512359. The regional phonolite samples lie markedly off this isochron. This is probably due to the phonolite samples having different initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values. All regional samples lie within the “Mantle Array” trend. Their location within _Nd–_Sr space indicates as asthenospheric Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB)-type source magma also contaminated by continental igneous and metamorphic rocks (e.g. the Precambrian gneiss surrounding the Poços de Caldas plateau).The rocks studied at the Osamu Utsumi mine from the F4 drillcore have experienced varying degrees of hydrothermal mineralization and metasomatism, and deep weathering. The hydrothermally altered rocks have a quite pronounced δD shift, with only a slight δ¹⁸O shift. The δD-δ¹⁸O trend of the hydrothermally altered F4 samples most likely reflects the variability of temperature, hydrologic flow, mineralogical alteration and, therefore, water/rock interaction and isotopic exchange in the palaeohydrothermal regime.Regression of Rb---Sr whole-rock isotopic data for subsamples from a nepheline syenite xenolith sample yields an age of 76 Ma and an initial ratio of approximately 0.7053. Due to the marked hydrothermal alteration and metasomatism of this sample, the Rb---Sr isotopic system is interpreted as being re-equilibrated and thus the regressed age is the age of the hydrothermal event. Using a versus 1/Sr mixing diagram, distinct trends are seen for hydrothermal alteration, mineralization and weathering. Again, the F4 nepheline syenite samples do not define an Sm---Nd isochron, but conform very well to a calculated model isochron for 78 Ma and an initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.512365. The Sm---Nd isotopic data also exhibit a possible disturbance by the hydrothermal, metasomatic alteration. A lamproite dyke which crosscuts the hydrothermal alteration in the Osamu Utsumi mine gives an age of 76 Ma, which is essentially the same as the Rb---Sr age of the hydrothermally altered nepheline syenite subsamples.     

Origin of the Late Cretaceous syenite from Yandangshan,SE China,constrained by zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopes and geochemical data

The Yandangshan syenite is a representative Late Cretaceous igneous pluton cropping out in SE China. U–Pb zircon dating using LA‐ICP‐MS yielded a crystallization age of 98±1 Ma for the syenite. Petrographically and geochemically of shoshonitic affinity, it is enriched in LREE and LILE, and has a pronounced Nb–Ta trough in the primitive mantle‐normalized trace element spider diagram. Zircon ?_Hf(t) values vary from ?3.04 to ?7.71, displaying a unimodal distribution. The syenite also has high Sr [(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) _i  = 0.7086–0.7089], low Nd [?_Nd(t) = ?6.57 to ?7.64] isotopic ratios, plotting in the enriched mantle field on an ?_Nd(t) versus (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) _i diagram. We propose that the Yandangshan syenite was generated by pyroxene‐dominated high‐pressure fractional crystallization from basaltic magma that was derived from an enriched mantle source. Although coexisting Yandangshan rhyolites have Sr–Nd isotopic compositions similar to the Yandangshan syenite, they were not derived from the same source. Instead, the rhyolitic magma was produced by partial melting of crustal materials as a result of the underplating of basaltic magma. The crust‐like Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic signature of the Yandangshan syenite is ascribed to mantle sources that were enriched by subducted sediments. Formation of Yandangshan syenite may represent roll‐back of the subducting palaeo‐Pacific plate and migration of the arc front to the Yandangshan area at ～98 Ma.
