富铌玄武岩：板片熔体交代的地幔楔橄榄岩部分熔融产物

富铌玄武岩是一类具有特殊地球化学特征的岛弧玄武岩。与正常岛弧玄武岩相比，它具有硅饱和并富钠的特征；同时具有相对高的Nb（一般>7×10-6）、TiO2（1%～2%）和P含量，以及低的LILE/HFSE和HREE/HFSE比值，并富集高场强元素；它的原始地幔标准化微量元素图显示了弱的Nb、Ta负异常（有时出现弱的正异常），原始地幔标准化La/Nb比值小于2（但很少小于0.7），它是由受埃达克质熔体交代过的地幔橄榄岩部分熔融形成的。由于富铌玄武岩与埃达克岩是大洋板片俯冲作用的直接产物，因此，通过对该岩石组合及与俯冲作用有关的流体和熔体的研究，不仅可以查明洋壳俯冲作用过程中的岩浆活动特征，还可以阐明洋壳俯冲及壳幔相互作用，具十分重要的地质意义。     

俯冲带复杂的壳幔相互作用

俯冲带除俯冲板片脱水形成的富大离子亲石元素流体、交代地幔楔形成的岛弧钙碱性玄武岩安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩及相应侵入岩组合外，还存在由俯冲扳片熔融形成的埃达克质熔体交代地慢楔形成的埃达克岩-富铌玄武岩-富镁安山岩组合，从而构成了俯冲带的流体交代与熔体交代两大类壳慢相互作用体系及相应的岩石组合。熔体交代作用的显著特点是Mg、高场强元素Nb、Ti、P等含量增加，Nd／Sr值增高，而Si、K、Na及La／Yb降低。洋壳板片或洋脊俯冲、玄武质岩浆底侵使地壳增厚，或板片断离、撕裂等作用均可产生埃达克质熔体并随之产生熔体交代作用。流体和熔体与地幔橄揽岩的相互作用构成了俯冲带复杂的地球化学体系。     

新疆北部的两类埃达克岩

新疆北部有两类埃达克岩，一是俯冲型，形成于早、中泥盆世-早石炭世晚期（≥320Ma），包括了埃达克岩、富Nb玄武岩、高（富）Mg安山岩。第二类埃达克岩是底侵型，形成于中晚二叠世（≤280Ma）。第一类埃达克岩分布于西天山的阿拉套山、博罗科努山，中天山的骆驼沟和巴仑台，东天山的土屋-延东，阿尔泰山陆缘南富蕴-青河南，准噶尔盆地中部陆梁，克拉玛依等地。在阿尔泰陆缘南，苦橄岩与埃达克岩、富Nb玄武岩和高（富）Mg安山岩密切组合。第二类埃达克岩分布于西天山的阿吾拉勒山和东天山的三岔口，未发现富Nb玄武岩和高（富）Mg安山岩组合。俯冲型埃达克岩、富Nb玄武岩和高（富）Mg安山岩的高Sr低Y、Yb、富Eu及高εNd（t）（＋1．5～＋10．0），低（^87Sr／^86Sr）；（〈0．7070）的同位素组成，均一致表明其源区物质为洋壳板片，部分为地幔楔、弧前棱柱，产于岛弧环境；而底侵型埃达克岩源于底侵的幔源玄武质物质，形成于后造山环境。两类埃达克岩及其组合岩石的地质及地球化学特点，展示了中亚型造山在本区晚古生代陆壳增生作用的多样性：在增生构造过程上，有洋壳板片的斜俯冲、俯冲板片的撕裂、板片窗、俯冲剥蚀及玄武质物质的底侵作用等；在增生方向上，有洋壳板片的侧向斜俯冲，也有玄武质物质垂向上底侵于壳-幔边界；在增生物质上，有洋壳板片、地幔楔、受地幔楔混染的洋壳板片熔体，弧前棱柱、地幔楔受板片熔体交代后形成熔体及底侵的幔源玄武质物质。与两类埃达克岩有关，尤其是第一类埃达克岩及其组合岩石，在本区广泛发育了Cu、Au成矿作用，其中部分达到大型-超大型规模。因此．对埃达克岩及其组合岩石的识别及相关Cu、Au成矿作用的找矿勘探应予以足够重视。     

天山北部石炭纪埃达克岩-高镁安山岩-富Nb岛弧玄武质岩：对中亚造山带显生宙地壳增生与铜金成矿的意义

新疆天山北部地区存在有石炭纪的埃达克岩-高镁安山岩-富Nb玄武质岩组合，并且其中许多岩石与铜（金）矿床伴生（如达巴特、阿希、土屋-延东、赤湖，等等）。埃达克岩富钠、高Sr但亏损Y与Yb，无明显Eu-正Eu异常以及正Sr异常与Nb、Ti亏损。高镁安山（闪长）岩是本次研究首次报道的，这些岩石无明显Eu-正Eu异常以及Nb、Ti亏损，普遍具有高的MgO和Cr、Ni含量，其中阿希金矿区一些样品类似于日本西南新生代Setouchi弧火山岩带中的赞岐岩类。富Nb玄武质岩富钠贫钾，具有微弱负．正Ba、Nb和Ti异常以及高的Nb／La比值，不同于大多数正常岛弧玄武岩。天山北部地区石炭纪埃达克岩具有高的8Nd（t）（＋3．4-＋9．0）和低的（^87Sr／^86Sr）i（0．7032—0．7043）。富Nb玄武质岩具有变化的εNd（t）（＋3．6-＋11．6）和（^87Sr／^86Sr）；（0．7007—0．7067）。我们的研究表明，天山北部地区石炭纪埃达克岩-高镁安山岩-富Nb玄武质岩组合可能是“埃达克岩交代的岛弧岩浆岩系列”。埃达克岩最有可能由石炭纪北天山洋的年轻洋壳在俯冲过程中熔融形成。另外，俯冲板片产生的熔体以及所释放的少量流体在上升过程中可能交代地幔楔橄榄岩或与其发生反应：一方面，触发地幔楔橄榄岩发生熔融形成富Nb岛弧玄武质岩；另一方面，地幔组分迅速进入到板片熔体中，导致其地幔组分增加，乃至形成高镁安山岩。因此，天山北部地区石炭纪埃达克岩-高镁安山岩-富Nb玄武质岩组合表明：（1）天山北部地区石炭纪可能为岛弧环境而非裂谷环境；（2）天山地区石炭纪的地壳生长可能以侧向增生为主；（3）除了亏损地幔之外，俯冲洋壳的熔融可能也在地壳的生长中发挥了重要的作用；（4）俯冲板片产生的埃达克质岩浆具有高的氧逸度，而其与地幔楔橄榄岩的强烈相互作用将导致地幔中的金属硫化物分解，成矿金属元素进入到岩浆中。这可能是新疆北部铜金矿化与一些埃达克岩、高镁安山（闪长）岩或富Nb岛弧玄武质岩密切共生的基本原因。     

准噶尔板块东北缘富铌玄武岩的发现及其地质意义

富铌玄武岩是硅过饱和,富Ｎａ2Ｏ,ＴｉＯ2,Ｐ2Ｏ5,同时富集高场强元素的一类岛弧玄武岩,这类玄武岩的ｗ(Ｎｂ)>7×10-6,(ｗ(Ｌａ)/ｗ(Ｎｂ))ＭＮ<2。它是由来源于70100ｋｍ深处、受ａｄａｋｉｔｅ熔体交代过的地幔楔橄榄岩部分熔融形成的,是大洋板块俯冲作用的产物。目前发现的富铌玄武岩大多分布在环太平洋新生代岛弧环境,与洋壳俯冲作用密切相关[1 5]。本研究在准噶尔板块东北缘富蕴县的索尔库都克附近首次发现了富铌玄武岩。它产于下泥盆统托让格库都克组中、上部。该地层自下而上的岩石组合为:玄武岩 火山凝灰角砾岩 火山集块岩 含…     

岛弧火山岩成因和地球化学特征

岛弧火山岩主要为俯冲带的俯冲板片脱水形成的富大离子亲石元素流体交代地幔楔,并使其发生部分熔融,产生岛弧岩浆作用而形成的,岩石组合通常为玄武岩—安山岩—英安岩—流纹岩及相应侵入岩组合。它以Al2O3、K2O高,低Ti O2,且K2ONa2O为特征,相对富集LILE,亏损HFSE,特别是Ti、Nb、Ta等。本文主要从岛弧岩浆作用的起因着手,分析流体和熔体对地幔楔的交代作用,以及岛弧岩浆作用过程,进而分析岛弧火山岩的地球化学特征。     

柴北缘赛什腾山滩间山群晚奥陶世富铌玄武岩成因及其地质意义

产于柴北缘构造带西段赛什腾山地区滩间山群中的变玄武岩的结晶年龄为(444±4)Ma，具有富Na₂O、贫K₂O、高TiO₂、Nb及低LILE/HFSE和HREE/HFSE值等特征，球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分曲线整体表现为轻稀土相对富集、重稀土平坦的略向右缓倾型配分模式，且在原始地幔标准化微量元素蛛网图中显示Nb、Ta弱正异常，与富铌玄武岩地球化学特征一致。综合分析表明，赛什腾山富铌玄武岩岩浆源区为尖晶石相二辉橄榄岩，是俯冲大洋板片陡角度回转引起的上涌软流圈地幔在弧后盆地边缘(靠近岛弧侧)与亏损地幔楔混合的产物，指示晚奥陶世柴北缘西段仍处于弧后伸展阶段，陆陆碰撞尚未开始。结合区域已有资料，认为柴北缘滩间山群是晚寒武世—早中志留世洋陆转换过程中不同时期、不同构造背景下(包括洋岛、岛弧、弧后等)的火山-沉积产物，其经历了自大洋俯冲至陆陆碰撞前的整个俯冲消减过程，各类岩石因构造混杂最终保存于柴北缘狭长构造带内。     

延吉地区古新世埃达克岩成因的岩浆混合证据

本文通过年代学、矿物学、主量元素、微量元素和同位素的研究,指出延吉地区古新世富镁埃达克岩起源于被俯冲板片熔体交代的地幔楔。单斜辉石和角闪石斑晶所显示的反环带结构为幔源富镁埃达克熔体于壳源中酸性岩浆混合的结果,而非前人普遍认为的熔体—地幔的反应产物;其地球化学特征表现出的岩浆演化趋势可以很好地用地壳混染/AFC过程来解释。延吉古新世埃达克岩形成于俯冲后岩石圈伸展作用背景,与太平洋板块的俯冲后撤作用有关。因此,我们认为富镁埃达克岩的形成不必强调同期洋脊的俯冲作用,只要早先或同时有俯冲板片熔体交代,在合适的p-t条件下交代地幔并发生熔融作用,就能形成这一类岩石。     

班公湖带多不杂富金斑岩铜矿床斑岩-火山岩的地球化学特征与时代:对成矿构造背景的制约

西藏多不杂铜矿床是班公湖-怒江带北侧新近发现的具有超大型远景的、典型的富金斑岩型铜矿床.本文对含矿斑岩、玄武质火山岩进行了系统的地球化学分析,甄别出三套岩石系列:埃达克岩、高Nb玄武岩和正常的岛弧玄武安山岩.三套岩石SiO2含量47%～68%,Al2O3含13%～18%,MgO含量1.4%～8.5%,FeOt含量2.3%～8.1%和CaO含量2.1%～10%,属于钙碱系列.MgO、CaO和FeOt与SiO2呈负相关,K2O与SiO2基本呈正相关.高Nb玄武岩和正常的岛弧玄武安山岩富Na,Na2O/K2O在0.9～7之间,而埃达克岩是相对富K,Na2O/K2O比为0.8.稀土元素总量∑REE为29×10-6-203×10-6,从基性到酸性岩乏REE是逐渐减小的,高Nb玄武岩的稀土元素含量最高,而埃达克岩最低.球粒陨石标准化配分曲线为轻稀土富集型,LREE/HREE为7.0～12.4,(La/Yb)N为3.2～13,δEu为0.9～2.1.埃达克岩和正常的岛弧玄武岩富集大离子亲石元素(LILE:如Rb、Ba、K、Sr)和活泼的高场强元素(如:U、Th),相对亏损其它高场强元素(HFSE:如Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Ti),表明具有俯冲带之上岛弧岩浆的特征.而高Nb玄武岩具有明显Nb、Ta正异常,且TiO2含量高(>2%),(La/Nb)PM<2.微量元素地球化学特征和Sr、Nd同位素结果表明该区埃达克岩直接来源于俯冲洋壳的部分熔融,但可能有俯冲沉积物成分的加入;而高Nb的玄武岩则可能来源于埃达克质熔体交代或者超临界流体交代而产生富Nb、Ta的地幔源区,可能有软流圈地幔的加入;而正常的岛弧火山岩则来源于俯冲流体交代过的地幔楔.另外,多不杂矿区埃达克岩和高Nb玄武岩(HNB)空间共生的"埃达克质岩浆交代的火山岩系列",表明多不杂铜矿床形成于典型的岛弧俯冲构造背景.对与成矿密切相关的花岗闪长斑岩进行精确的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究,其锆石具有明显的岩浆结晶环带,Th/U比值范围为0.51～0.90,均大于0.1,为岩浆成因锆石,其SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为121.6±1.9Ma,表明至少在大约120Ma期间班公-怒江洋盆正在向北俯冲,洋盆闭合时间应晚于早白垩世中期.     

岛弧环境中不同成因的火成岩组合及其地质意义

岛弧环境的形成是与大洋板块俯冲作用有关,由俯冲流体作用于地幔楔部分熔融形成的钙碱性火成岩组合是岛弧环境中物质组成的主体。此外,目前还识别出与俯冲作用有关的其它的岩石类型:埃达克岩、富铌玄武岩、TTG、赞岐岩、玻安岩等,它们指示着不同的地球动力学背景、壳—幔相互作用过程以及源岩发生部分熔融的物理化学条件。本文主要对形成于岛弧环境中不同成因的火成岩组合的特征、形成机制、成矿作用及动力学意义进行了综述。     

Origin of high field strength element enrichment in volcanic arcs: Geochemical evidence from the Sulu Arc, southern Philippines

Lavas from the Sulu Arc, southern Philippines, exhibit an enrichment in high field strength elements (HFSE) that represents a departure from the typical volcanic arc geochemical signature. It has been postulated that this relative enrichment arises from metasomatism of mantle wedge peridotites by melts derived from the subducting oceanic lithosphere, through formation of amphibole which subsequently breaks down and enriches the mantle source of parental arc magmas in HFSE. Divergent chemical and isotopic characteristics between Sulu Arc HFSE-enriched lavas and the Sulu Sea crust being subducted—the presumed source of slab-derived melts—render it unlikely, however, that HFSE enrichment arises from the influence of such melts. New geochemical data suggest that the varying degrees of HFSE enrichment in Sulu Arc lavas are instead the result of variable amounts of mixing between enriched and depleted mantle end-components—the sources of South China Sea intraplate lavas and Sulu seafloor basalts, respectively—within a compositionally heterogeneous mantle wedge.     

Magmatic source enrichment by slab-derived melts in a young post-collision setting, central Mindanao (Philippines)

Central Mindanao was the locus of a Pliocene (4–5 Ma old) arc–arc collision event followed by basaltic to dacitic magmatism starting at 2.3 Ma, representing the most voluminous volcanic field in the Philippines. Lava compositions range from calc-alkaline to shoshonitic. Adakites and Nb-enriched basalts are among the magmatic products. All the lavas are Na-rich (up to 4.88%), with Na₂O/K₂O ratios from 2.5 to 6.5. Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions are similar to MORB, except for some shoshonitic lavas that have slightly less radiogenic Nd ratios. K-enrichment in basalts can be related to both fractional crystallization (FC) at moderate pressures and to partial melting of an enriched source. Trace element systematics indicate that the sub-central Mindanao mantle is characterized by the presence of garnet, phlogopite, amphibole, and perhaps some titanate phase. The enrichment of this source is attributed to the interaction of slab-derived melts, i.e., adakites, with the arc mantle. This would explain the presence of Nb-enriched basalts, transitional adakites and high-magnesium andesites, as well as the bulk Na-enrichment and relatively unradiogenic character of the central Mindanao lavas. We envision an ion-exchange type of enrichment, in which the HFSE, LILE and LREE, mobilized during slab melting, are preferentially enriched in the metasomatized mantle, resulting in a diversity of post-collision magma compositions. The MORB-like isotopic signatures of the central Mindanao lavas preclude important contributions of slab-derived hydrous fluids, sediments, continental crust or an OIB-type contaminant. Slab melting after cessation of subduction is deemed possible by thermal rebound of previously depressed geotherms. Initial contributions to mantle enrichment in post-collision sites may thus come from slab melts. In most other cases of post-collision magmatism, however, this signature can be easily masked by enrichments coming from other sources, e.g., the continental lithosphere.     

Petrology and geochemistry of Camiguin Island, southern Philippines: insights to the source of adakites and other lavas in a complex arc setting

Camiguin is a small volcanic island located 12 km north of Mindanao Island in southern Philippines. The island consists of four volcanic centers which have erupted basaltic to rhyolitic calcalkaline lavas during the last ∼400 ka. Major element, trace element and Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic data indicate that the volcanic centers have produced a single lava series from a common mantle source. Modeling results indicate that Camiguin lavas were produced by periodic injection of a parental magma into shallow magma chambers allowing assimilation and fractional crystallization (AFC) processes to take place. The chemical and isotopic composition of Camiguin lavas bears strong resemblance to the majority of lavas from the central Mindanao volcanic field confirming that Camiguin is an extension of the tectonically complex Central Mindanao Arc (CMA). The most likely source of Camiguin and most CMA magmas is the mantle wedge metasomatized by fluids dehydrated from a subducted slab. Some Camiguin high-silica lavas are similar to high-silica lavas from Mindanao, which have been identified as “adakites” derived from direct melting of a subducted basaltic crust. More detailed comparison of Camiguin and Mindanao adakites with silicic slab-derived melts and magnesian andesites from the western Aleutians, southernmost Chile and Batan Island in northern Philippines indicates that the Mindanao adakites are not pure slab melts. Rather, the CMA adakites are similar to Camiguin high-silica lavas which are products of an AFC process and have negligible connection to melting of subducted basaltic crust.

Hf-Nd isotope evidence for contemporaneous subduction processes in the source of late Archean arc lavas from the Superior Province, Canada

Volcanic suites from Wawa greenstone belts in the southern Superior Province comprise an association of typical late Archean arc volcanic rocks including adakites, magnesian andesites (MA), niobium-enriched basalts (NEB), and ‘normal’ tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts to rhyolites. The adakites represent melts from subducted oceanic crust and all other suites were derived from the mantle wedge above the subducting oceanic lithosphere. The magnesian andesites are interpreted to be the product of hybridization of adakite melts with arc mantle wedge peridotite. The initial ?_Hf values of the ∼2.7 Ga Wawa adakites (+3.5 to +5.2), magnesian andesites (+2.6 to +5.1), niobium-enriched basalts (+4.4 to +6.6), and ‘normal’ tholeiitic to calc-alkaline arc basalts (+5.3 to +6.4) are consistent with long-term depleted mantle sources. The niobium-enriched basalts and ‘normal’ arc basalts have more depleted ?_Hf values than the adakites and magnesian andesites. The initial ?_Nd values in the magnesian andesites (+0.4 to +2.0), niobium-enriched basalts (+1.4 to +2.4), and ‘normal’ arc tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts (+1.6 to +2.9) overlap with, but extend to lower values than, the slab-derived adakites (+2.3 to +2.8). The lower initial ?_Nd values in the mantle-wedge-derived suites, particularly in the magnesian andesites, are attributed to recycling of an Nd-enriched component with lower ?_Nd to the mantle wedge. As a group, the slab-derived adakites plot closest to the 2.7 Ga depleted mantle value in ?_Nd versus ?_Hf space, additionally suggesting that the Nd-enriched component in the mantle wedge did not originate from the 2.7 Ga slab-derived melts. Accordingly, we suggest that the enriched component had been added to the mantle wedge at variable proportions by recycling of older continental material. This recycling process may have occurred as early as 50-70 Ma before the initiation of the 2.7 Ga subduction zone. The selective enrichment of Nd in the sources of the Superior Province magmas can be explained by experimental studies and geochemical observations in modern subduction systems, indicating that light rare earth elements (e.g., La, Ce, Sm, Nd) are more soluble than high field strength elements (e.g., Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta) in aqueous fluids that are derived from subducted slabs. As a corollary, we suggest that the recycled Nd-enriched component was added to the mantle source of the Wawa arc magmas by dehydration of subducted sediments.     

High Field Strength Element Enrichment of Pliocene--Pleistocene Island Arc Basalts, Zamboanga Peninsula, Western Mindanao (Philippines)

The Pliocene—Pleistocene magmatic activity of the Zamboangaare is linked to the southward subduction of the Oligocene—Mio-ceneSulu Sea back-are basin along the Sulu Trench. The magmaticproducts include small amounts of adakites dated from 3.8 to0.7 Ma, abundant Nb-enriched basalts and basaltic andesites(NEB) dated from 2 to 1 Ma and a lone calc-alkaline potassicbasaltic andesite dated at 0.4 Ma. Three kinds of NEB are distinguished:nearly primitive Mg-rich (MG) basalts displaying positive orno Nb anomalies with respect to adjacent incompatible elementsand more evolved low-K (LK) and calc-alkaline (CA) lavas which,despite their Nb enrichment, display negative Nb anomalies.Although the role of OIB-type mantle components has been advocatedto explain the HFSE enrichment of NEB, the spatial and temporalassociation of these rocks with adakites suggests a petrogeneticlink between them. Trace element characteristics of the NEBimply that amphibole and ilmenite might be present in theirsource. We suggest that these minerals could be added metasomaticallyto the mantle through hybridization by percolating slab melts,during which Nb and Ti are preferentially extracted from theadakitic melts. In an early stage (4–3 Ma) of the subductionof the young and hot Sulu Sea basin crust beneath the Zamboangapeninsula, adakitic liquids formed at depths of 75–85km. A few of them were emplaced at the surface but most wereconsumed through slab melt-mantle metasomatic reactions. Adakiteproduction and emplacement continued later (<2 Ma), whilethe Nb-enriched mantle was brought by convection to depths thatallowed its melting and the subsequent emplacement of NEB behindthe adakitic front of the Zamboanga are.

新疆北部晚古生代埃达克岩、富铌玄武岩组合：古亚洲洋板块南向俯冲的证据

地球化学研究结果表明，新疆北部富蕴县境内的晚古生代下泥盆统托让格库都克组的安山质岩石具有与埃达克岩非常相似的地球化学特征，它们具有较高的Al2O3，Na2O和Sr含量以及Sr/Y比值；明显亏损重稀土和Y，它们的MORB标准化微量元素蛛网图表现为明显的Nb，Ta负异常和Sr正异常，同时强烈亏损高场强元素。与埃达克岩共生的玄武岩的地球化学特征则与富铌玄武岩一致，表现为Si过饱和及富Na的特征，同时具有较高的Nb，TiO2和P2O5含量，并富集高场强元素。由于埃达克岩和富铌玄武岩的形成均与板块俯冲有关，因此，它们的存在表明，古亚洲洋在早-中泥盆世向南(哈萨克斯坦-准噶尔板块)发生了一次洋壳俯冲作用。     

New insights into the origin of O–Hf–Os isotope signatures in arc lavas from Tonga–Kermadec

O, Hf and Os isotope data are presented for lavas from the highly depleted Tonga–Kermadec arc. O isotope values overlap with those of MORB limiting the amount of interaction with the arc crust. δ¹⁸O does not increase northwards as would be expected from the ~ 4 fold increase in subduction rate if slab-derived fluids had high ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratios. Thus, the overall northward decrease in HFSE concentrations likely reflects depletion due to prior melt extraction, not increasing extents of melting. Hf isotopes are strongly negatively correlated with Be isotopes consistent with mixing of subducted pelagic sediment into the mantle wedge and do not require Hf to be fluid mobile. With the exception of a boninite from the north Tongan trench, the northern Tonga lavas do not overlap the Hf isotope composition of either the Samoan plume or the subducting Louisville volcaniclastic sediments. Thus, the Pb isotope signatures in these lavas must have been added by fluids and sediment melts derived from the Louisville volcaniclastics with minimal mobilisation of Hf. This suggests conservative behaviour for this element due to the formation of residual zircon during partial melting of the subducted sediments. ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ranges from 0.1275 to 0.4731 and the higher Os isotope ratios reflect the sensitivity of this system to even minor interaction with altered arc crust. Conversely, the lowest Os ratios are subchondritic and indicate that transfer of radiogenic Os from the slab is not all pervasive and provide an important constraint on the composition of the mantle wedge. Remarkably, the least radiogenic sample is a dacite demonstrating that evolved magmas can develop by fractionation from mantle-derived magmas with minimal interaction with the arc crust.
