藏东雅鲁藏布江大拐弯蛇绿岩变基性岩类岩石地球化学再研究

在1:25万区域地质填图和专题研究的基础上,再次对喜马拉雅东构造结地区雅鲁藏布江蛇绿混杂带中变基性岩的常量元素、微量元素和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学特征进行了深入研究,进一步阐明了SSZ型蛇绿岩的成因。变基性岩类可分为具有玻安岩类、IAT和OIB特征的3类。玻安岩类为LREE呈略亏损—平坦型,稀土元素总量低,∑REE为7.56×10-6～20.89×10-6,富相容元素Cr、Ni和常量成分MgO、Al2O3,形成于弧前环境。IAT类为本带的主要类型,在蜘蛛图上有一定的Nb、Ta亏损,REE为大致平坦型,稀土元素总量低,∑REE为37.84×10-6～55.75×10-6。OIB类为LREE较富集型,稀土元素总量高,∑REE为102.09×10-6～240.95×10-6,与IAT和MORB相比,具较高的La、Nb、P、Ti含量,而相容元素Cr、Ni等含量较低。Sr、Nd、Pb同位素组成反映PREMA(或BSE)和EMI提供了源区,暗示未分异的原始地幔和下地壳参与形成了原始岩浆。推测新特提斯洋盆演化经历了较早的地幔柱、洋岛阶段,形成了MORB-OIB组合;较晚期为洋内弧阶段,形成了SSZ型蛇绿岩和IAT组合。     

湘东北中生代基性岩脉微量元素地球化学特征及岩石成因

湘东北中生代基性岩脉可以分为煌斑岩和辉绿岩两类，前者形成于136.61Ma，后者形成于86.18Ma,与华南中生代主要拉张时期相对应。岩石富集LREE，Eu负异常不明显，其形成主要受地幔部分熔融作用制约。早期煌斑岩类微量元素和Sr、Nd同位素总体上具有富集地幔（EMⅡ型）洋岛玄武岩（OIB）特征，富集Nd、P、Cs，而K、Rb、Sr、U、Th等富集程度不明显，Ta、Nb略有富集，具有软流圈地幔上涌地幔热柱玄武岩岩浆源区性质，表现出软流圈地幔上涌部分熔融的成岩特点。晚期辉绿岩类表现出Ta、Nb、Ti亏损，但LILE并不富集，反映地壳混染程度的增强，具有大陆拉张带（裂谷初期）形成的玄武岩岩浆源区性质，为岩石圈地幔部分熔融形成。二者具有不同的岩浆源区性质，从早期到晚期岩浆源区向上迁移并致使部分陆 物质混入，反映由热点式拉张到岩石圈伸展－减薄的作用过程。     

新疆西天山巴音沟与蛇绿岩伴生的洋岛玄武岩——主微量元素证据

对巴音沟蛇绿混杂岩内发育的两套玄武岩进行了主、微量元素研究,结果表明,其中一套TiO2的含量较低,在0.81%~1.00%之间,REE含量低,LREE相对于HREE具轻微亏损,稀土元素配分图和微量元素的原始地幔标准化图上呈平坦分布型式,Nb、Ta略亏损,为大洋中脊玄武岩。结合其他微量元素特征,初步认为该玄武岩源于大洋形成的初期,源区是还没有经历大规模岩浆提取阶段的洋中脊玄武岩。另一套玄武岩则具有典型的洋岛玄武岩特征,具有较高的TiO2含量(1.89%~3.14%),富碱质,同时富集LREE和HFSE元素,高Nb、Ta含量,在微量元素原始地幔标准化图上显示明显的Nb、Ta正异常,微量地球化学元素具有EMⅡ型OIB特征。     

北京阳坊岩体元素地球化学特征、成因及构造背景

北京西山地区出露的早白垩世阳坊岩体主要由二长花岗岩组成,含少量石英二长岩、白岗岩以及闪长质包体。本文首次报道了阳坊岩体的主量元素和微量元素高精度分析测试结果。黑云母二长花岗岩是典型的高钾钙碱性花岗岩;具有富集Rb、Ba、LREE等强不相容元素,Th、U、Nb、Ta相对LREE亏损,负Eu异常较弱的元素地球化学特征。石英二长岩具有高钾、相对高碱、富镁贫铁、富集Rb、Ba、LREE、Sr等强不相容元素,Sr/Y比值高,Th、U、Nb、Ta相对LREE亏损,Eu异常不明显的特点,具有类似于高Sr低Y型中酸性火成岩(adakite)的元素地球化学特征。白岗岩具有明显亏损Sr、Ba、REE尤其是MREE,具明显负Eu异常的地球化学特征。闪长质包体MgO含量和Mg#值较高,具有富集K、Rb、Ba、LREE、Sr等强不相容元素,Sr/Y比值高,Th、U、Nb、Ta相对LREE亏损,无Eu异常的特点,与玻基方辉安山岩的地球化学特征相近似,属于典型的钾玄岩系列岩石。阳坊岩体的闪长质包体起源于交代岩石圈地幔的部分熔融,石英二长岩是幔源岩浆与下地壳岩石相互作用的产物,黑云母二长花岗岩形成于下地壳富钾基性岩的部分熔融过程,而白岗岩是上地壳岩石部分熔融的产物;表明燕山西段在早白垩世晚期具有高地温梯度。地质证据和岩石化学、微量元素判别图解均显示阳坊岩体形成于造山带崩塌阶段。     

华北克拉通大红峪组高钾火山岩的地球化学特征及其岩石成因

华北克拉通中元古代大红峪组火山岩是一套高钾(K2O Na2O)、富铝、贫硅的碱玄岩-响质碱玄岩-响岩组合。地球化学特征显示其富集轻稀土(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(LILE)(Rb,Ba,K等)、贫高场强元素(HFSE)(Th,Zr,Hf,HREE等)和弱亏损Nb,Ta的微量元素特征。稀土元素配分模式为右倾,有轻微的Eu正异常,类似于OIB的特征。较稳定的La/Nb比值和εNd(t)值,说明岩浆在上升过程中并未遭受到明显的地壳混染作用;结合岩石Nb,Ta弱亏损以及εNd(t)值为-0.66~0.63的特征,表明其地球化学特征更多的是其地幔源区的反映。因此,岩浆来源于富集地幔,可能为被俯冲交代作用改造过的深部岩石圈地幔,并有OIB特征的软流圈组分加入。构造环境分析表明,大红峪组火山岩形成于板内裂谷,其深部地球动力学过程可能与地幔柱有关。     

云南新平县双沟蛇绿岩稀土元素地球化学研究

双沟蛇绿岩中,变质橄榄岩的REE分布型式为LREE富集型,可能是富大离子亲石元素(LILE)组分交代造成的。地幔岩部分熔融生成的初始熔体LREE亏损,而辉绿岩和玄武岩则存在LREE亏损和富集两种型式,前者相当于N-MORB,后者相当于E-MORB。推测前者来源于亏损的软流圈地幔,而后者的地幔源区经历过一次富集LREE和LILE的事件。双沟蛇绿岩的REE特征暗示它可能形成于弧后盆地。     

青海泽库赛日迪印支期中基性岩体地球化学特征及构造背景

青海泽库东南赛日迪附近产出的印支期中基性岩体前人研究较少.对该岩体进行地球化学、构造背景及岩浆演化方面研究,结果表明,赛日迪岩体硅量中等、高镁铁、低铝、低钾钠,属准铝质钙碱性系列.富集Rb,K,Pb等大离子亲石元素(LILE)和Th,U,Ta,Nb,Hf等高场强元素(HFSE).普遍贫Ba,Sr等大离子亲石元素(LILE)和P,Zr,Ti等高场强元素(HFSE).稀土元素含量较低,轻稀土元素相对富集,轻稀土元素较重稀土元素分馏明显.Eu略显负异常,表现为同源岩浆成分特征.LREE与SiO2相关性不强,Nb/U、Nb/La远低于全球MORB、OIB值,Nb/Ta和Zr/Hf与原始地幔值相当,低Sm/Yb值,La/Nb和La/Ta指数指示赛日迪中基性岩可能为地幔源,岩浆经历部分熔融岩浆演化过程,上升过程中未受地壳物质混染.构造环境判别赛日迪中基性岩为钙碱性玄武岩,形成于板内环境,与板块碰撞作用有一定联系.     

六合—仪征第三纪大陆碱性玄武岩微量元素地球化学

本文报道了六合-仪征第三纪大陆碱性玄武岩十八个样品的REE、Rb、Ba、Sr、Nb、Zr、Ni、Cr、V、Sc、Y、Ga、Zn、Cu等痕量元素含量,讨论了该岩套的成因及其地幔源区的特征。石榴石橄榄岩型地幔源区经较小程度部分熔融形成了基性原始岩浆;其后经过橄榄石和单斜辉石为主的结晶分异作用,演化后的岩浆喷出地表形成玄武岩套。本区碱性玄武岩的地幔源区曾受近期富集作用影响,具有富集LREE等不相容元素的特征。     

鲁西邹平盆地中生代火山岩的演化:对地幔源区的约束

邹平盆地中生代火山岩可分为三个亚组：中、下亚组具有相似的岩石组合,岩性主要为玄武岩-粗面玄武岩-玄武质粗面安山岩-粗面安山岩;上亚组岩性主要为粗面安山岩。火山岩由早期基性向晚期中偏碱性方向演化,与正常岩浆房酸度增高的岩浆分异趋势相同。具有Rb、Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素（LILE）和轻稀土元素（LREE）富集,Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素（HFSE）相对亏损,类似于岛弧火山岩的地球化学特征。Nb／La、Hf／Sm比值随MgO的降低而升高或基本不变,说明高场强元素亏损是岩浆的原始特征。各亚组火山岩相似的稀土配分模式和微量元素蛛网图,表明它们具有共同的岩浆源区和密切的成因联系,分离结晶起了关键性作用。La／Nb、La／Ta、Ba／Nb比值较高,说明成岩物质可能主要来自岩石圈地幔。拆沉的大陆中、下地壳部分熔融形成的熔体与古生代岩石圈地幔（亏损的地幔橄榄岩）的相互作用是岩石圈地幔富集的重要方式,随之该富集地幔在陆内岩石圈伸展和区域热异常的双重作用下发生减压部分熔融而形成具有岛弧特征的邹平盆地火山岩。     

攀西裂谷南段鸡街碱性超基性岩微量元素和Sr-Nd 同位素地球化学及其成因探讨

鸡街碱性超基性杂岩体产出于攀西古裂谷南段,地处云南省境内的罗茨地区,空间上与峨嵋山玄武岩紧密伴生。岩体的主体由霞霓钠辉岩、霓霞岩和磷霞岩组成,三类岩石具有相似的微量元素和稀土元素(REE)配分,富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb、Sr、Ba,过渡族元素Sc、Cr和Ni相对亏损,Nb/Ta、Zr/Hf比值在幔源岩的范围内,Sr-Nd同位素沿"幔源趋势"线分布。鸡街碱性超基性岩中不相容元素总体亏损,含量与EMORB相当,稀土总量ΣREE=32.86～70.07偏低,(La/Yb)N=3.03～4.47,HREE亏损,指示源区的适度亏损。微量元素和同位素信息共同指示鸡街碱性超基性岩为地幔岩高压条件下低程度部分熔融的产物(<10%),岩浆演化过程中经历了橄榄石、辉石和少量磁铁矿的结晶分异。霞霓钠辉岩、霓霞岩与磷霞岩来自同一地幔源区,岩浆源区的相对亏损,可能与中-晚二叠纪大量的玄武质岩浆从深部地幔抽取有关。攀西古裂谷的多期次活动为峨嵋地幔柱提供了岩浆通道,地幔柱活动的早期阶段或晚期阶段岩石圈地幔(或混合地幔)低程度部分熔融的碱性岩浆沿此构造薄弱带上侵,形成了攀西古裂谷内呈带状分布的各碱性杂岩体。     

西藏西南部休古嘎布蛇绿岩的成因:岩石学和地球化学证据

休古嘎布蛇绿岩块位于雅鲁藏布缝合带(YZSZ)西段,主要由地幔橄榄岩和侵入其中的基性岩墙所组成。基性岩墙具有弧后盆地地球化学亲缘性,其LREE亏损,(La/Yb)N为0.39~0.55;具有明显的Nb、Ti负异常及Sr、Ba正异常。Sr、Nd同位素特征表明它们起源于亏损地幔,并且受到了板片析出流体的影响。4个基性岩墙的Sm-Nd同位素样品获得内部等时线年龄为126.2±9.1Ma(MSWD=0.44)。地幔橄榄岩具有汤勺形和U形两组REE分布型式,显示出不同程度部分熔融和地幔交代作用的特征,具有弧-盆体系地球化学亲缘性。第一组橄榄岩的LREE弱富集或近于平坦,尖晶石的Cr#值低而且变化不大,部分熔融程度较低(15%~20%),可能形成于弧后扩张盆地;第二组橄榄岩的LREE明显富集,尖晶石的Cr#值高而且变化较大(0.4~0.77),部分熔融程度较高(25%~30%),并经历了强烈的交代富集作用,可能与洋内岛弧有关。     

西藏吉定蛇绿岩地球化学特征及其构造指示意义

吉定蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带的中段,是该带保存较好的蛇绿岩之一,通过对该岩体的研究及与附近蛇绿岩剖面的对比有助于恢复早白垩世雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带的演化过程。吉定蛇绿岩包括玄武岩、辉绿岩、堆晶岩及地幔橄榄岩四个岩石单元。壳层岩石岩浆结晶顺序为:橄榄石→单斜辉石→斜长石,代表湿岩浆系统分异。吉定蛇绿岩壳层熔岩(玄武岩和辉绿岩)Ti O2含量为0.87%~1.45%,平均1.1%,与印度洋N-MORB玻璃(1.19%)相似。REE配分模式具有明显的LREE亏损特征,稀土配分模式与典型的大洋中脊玄武岩相似。但其微量元素蛛网图上表现为富集LILE,而亏损HFSE,并具有较高LILE/HFSE比值特征,与俯冲带上的(SSZ)蛇绿岩相似。蛇绿岩熔岩在岩石地球化学上表现出既亲MORB,又具部分IAB的特征。结合区域上大竹卡、得几等蛇绿岩岩石及地球化学资料对比分析,提出吉定蛇绿岩形成于在洋内俯冲带上发育起来的弧后盆地,并提出日喀则地区早白垩世洋壳演化的解释模式:雅鲁藏布江中段蛇绿岩至少包含三种组分特征的蛇绿岩体,其代表性剖面分别是吉定,得村和大竹卡,分别形成于近俯冲带的弧后盆地、弧前盆地和弧后盆地,这些洋壳共同组成早白垩世时期的与特提斯洋俯冲带斜交的一条分段发育的洋中脊。     

西藏日喀则白马让蛇绿岩:亚洲大陆边缘的小洋盆

藏南雅鲁藏布蛇绿岩被认为是新特提斯大洋岩石圈的残留。该带中段的日喀则白马让蛇绿岩是保存较完整的蛇绿岩岩块之一。该蛇绿岩主要由橄榄岩、蛇纹岩、镁铁质侵入岩和玄武岩组成,缺堆晶岩系。镁铁质侵入岩主要呈辉绿岩脉、岩床和少量的岩墙产出。辉绿岩脉在整个蛇绿岩层序中均有分布,侵入橄榄岩的部分岩脉已经变为变辉绿岩和异剥钙榴岩。辉绿岩床(墙)向上逐渐过渡为玄武岩。局部可见日喀则群整合覆盖在玄武岩之上。地球化学分析显示不同产状的镁铁质岩均属于低钾或中钾的拉斑玄武岩,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti和LREE,具有弧前玄武岩(FAB)或弧后盆地玄武岩(BABB)的特征,它们的Ti/V和Yb/V的比值与BABB或正常大洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB)相似,Sr-Nd-Pb同位素数据指示了亏损地幔(DM)与富集地幔(EM)过渡的源区。镁铁质岩野外产出关系和地球化学特征表明,白马让蛇绿岩的镁铁质岩组合可能形成于SSZ环境。考虑到超镁铁质岩、镁铁质岩和日喀则群在空间上的连续性,认为白马让蛇绿岩可能是起源于亚洲大陆边缘俯冲带上的洋盆,属于原地系统,而非外来的构造岩片。     

Geochemistry and geodynamics of the Mawat mafic complex in the Zagros Suture zone, northeast Iraq

The Iraqi Zagros Orogenic Belt includes two separate ophiolite belts, which extend along a northwest-southeast trend near the Iranian border. The outer belt shows ophiolite sequences and originated in the oceanic ridge or supra-subduction zone. The inner belt includes the Mawat complex, which is parallel to the outer belt and is separated by the Biston Avoraman block. The Mawat complex with zoning structures includes sedimentary rocks with mafic interbedded lava and tuff, and thick mafic and ultramafic rocks. This complex does not show a typical ophiolite sequences such as those in Penjween and Bulfat. The Mawat complex shows evidence of dynamic deformation during the Late Cretaceous. Geochemical data suggest that basic rocks have high MgO and are significantly depleted in LREE relative to HREE. In addition they show positive ? _Nd values (+5 to+8) and low 87Sr/86Sr ratios. The occurrence of some OIB type rocks, high Mg basaltic rocks and some intermediate compositions between these two indicate the evolution of the Mawat complex from primary and depleted source mantle. The absence of a typical ophiolite sequence and the presence of good compatibility of the source magma with magma extracted from the mantle plume suggests that a mantle plume from the D″ layer is more consistent as the source of this complex than the oceanic ridge or supra-subduction zone settings. Based on our proposed model the Mawat basin represents an extensional basin formed during the Late Paleozoic to younger along the Arabian passive margin oriented parallel to the Neo-Tethys oceanic ridge or spreading center. The Mawat extensional basin formed without creation of new oceanic basement. During the extension, huge volumes of mafic lava were intruded into this basin. This basin was squeezed between the Arabian Plate and Biston Avoraman block during the Late Cretaceous.     

Geochemical constraints on the origin of the Hegenshan Ophiolite,Inner Mongolia,China

The Hegenshan ophiolite in Inner Mongolia is a remnant of oceanic lithosphere of probable Devonian age. The ophiolite consists of several blocks composed chiefly of serpentinized ultramafic rocks with lesser amounts of troctolite and gabbro, and sparse lavas and dikes. The ultramafic rocks consist chiefly of depleted harzburgite and minor dunite and are interpreted as mantle tectonites. In the Hegenshan block dunite is relatively abundant and is typically associated with podiform chromitite. Both the chromite ore and the residual chromites in this body are relatively aluminous with average Cr numbers of 44–54. A few small chromite bodies and some of the residual chromites have much higher Cr numbers (72–76). Several blocks have well-layered cumulate sequences of gabbro and troctolite. Sheeted dikes are absent but small mafic dikes are common in some of the ultramafic sections. Most of the mafic dikes have flat chondrite-normalized REE patterns and are strongly depleted in incompatible elements, similar to depleted tholeiites from immature island arcs. The basaltic lavas of the Hegenshan ophiolite have two distinctly different chemical signatures—one similar to the mafic dikes and one similar to ocean island basalts. The entire complex was probably formed within an island arc–marginal basin system that was later accreted to the southern margin of the Siberian Altaids.     

Petrology, Geochemistry and Tectonic Significance of the Metamorphic Peridotites from Longmuco–Shuanghu Ophiolitic Melange belt, Tibet

Taoxinghu metamorphic peridotite is a firstly reported mantle sequence of ophiolite since Longmuco–Shuanghu–Lancangjiang suture zone (LSLSZ) was proposed, and it is also an important discovered for ophiolite studying in central Qiangtang. Based on detailed analyses of whole–rock geochemistry of Taoxinghu metamorphic peridotites and contrast to metamorphic peridotites in typical ophiolites worldwide, the paper investigates their petrogenesis and geological implication. The petrologic results show that the protolith of Taoxinghu metamorphic perdotites have the mineral assemblage and texture characteristic of mantle peridotite. Most metamorphic peridotites hav near global abyssal peridotites major elements contents, while the few is similar to SSZ–type peridotites. They exhibit typically U–shaped REE patterns, characterized by slight enrichment of LREE and HREE relative to MREE and a low fractionated LREE to HREE segment. Trace elements contents are low and all samples are strong enrichment in Cs, U, Pb, weak enrichment in Ba and depletion in Th, but negative Nb anomalies are only observed in few samples. That suggests Taoxinghu metamorphic peridotites have depletion mantle and suprasubduction affinities. A two–stage evolution history is considered: Taoxinghu metamorphic peridotites originated as the residue from melting at a ridge with 7%–20% degree of fraction melting and were subsequently modified by interaction with mafic melt and aqueous fluid within mantle wedge on subducted zone. Combined with previous studies, we preliminarily propose Taoxinghu metamorphic peridotites may be the Products of initial rifting of palo–Tethys, forming at middle Ordivician–upper Cambrian, and they may be the direct evidences for spreading of palo–Tethys.     

东秦岭松树沟超镁铁岩侵位机制及其构造演化

东秦岭松树沟蛇绿岩主要由镁铁质-超镁铁质岩石组成。镁铁质岩类的Sm-Nd全岩等时年龄为1030±46(2δ)Ma,ε_Nd(t)=+5.7±0.2,代表了蛇绿岩的形成时代。超镁铁质岩石由不同成因的橄榄质糜棱岩和中粗粒橄榄岩组成,橄榄质糜棱岩是地幔橄榄岩经历复杂变形并多次部分熔融的残余体,具LREE亏损特征,其中发育橄榄石高温位错构造和高温组构以及低温位错构造和低温组构。中粗粒橄榄岩具LREE略富集的分布特征,是地幔橄榄岩残余体再次部分熔融熔体分离结晶的产物。野外地质、地球化学、构造变形特征均表明超镁铁岩块是因洋壳俯冲而底辟侵位于上覆玄武岩中的地幔橄榄岩残余体。综合分析认为,松树沟蛇绿岩经历了古陆块裂解或洋脊扩张(1271-1440Ma)-洋壳形成(1030-1271Ma)-洋壳俯冲消减-橄榄岩块底辟侵位(983Ma)-蛇绿岩构造侵位及其后构造变形叠加改造的复杂演化过程。     

滇东南八布蛇绿岩地球化学特征及构造背景

八布蛇绿岩出露在北西向文山-麻栗坡和富宁走滑断裂之间的断块内,主要由蛇纹岩、辉长岩、玄武岩三个单元组成,彼此间均以断裂相接.地球化学研究表明,蛇纹岩SiO2、Al2O3、TiO2、MgO含量变化较大,依据主、微量元素组成可以分为两类,第一类球粒陨石标准化稀土元素分配模式整体较为平坦,推测原岩为镁铁质堆晶岩;另一类呈U型配分,推断原岩是方辉橄榄岩.玄武岩属拉斑系列,主量元素具有富MgO、TiO2,低Al2O3、K2O、P2O5,并且Na2O﹥K2O等特征,类似于MORB型玄武岩;REE配分模式也显示出N-MORB型玄武岩的特征;同时,微量元素普遍具有LILE、Th富集, Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf等元素具明显亏损特征,又暗示源区曾遭受不同程度的俯冲带流体交代作用.综合分析认为,八布蛇绿岩形成于弧后盆地环境,其形成可能是古太平洋从SE至NW向华南大陆俯冲的产物.     

Geochemistry and tectonic setting of mafic rocks from the Othris Ophiolite,Greece

We present new geochemical analyses of minerals and whole rocks for a suite of mafic rocks from the crustal section of the Othris Ophiolite in central Greece. The mafic rocks form three chemically distinct groups. Group 1 is characterized by N-MORB-type basalt and basaltic andesite with Na- and Ti-rich clinopyroxenes. These rocks show mild LREE depletion and no HFSE anomalies, consistent with moderate degrees (~15%) of anhydrous partial melting of depleted mantle followed by 30–50% crystal fractionation. Group 2 is represented by E-MORB-type basalt with clinopyroxenes with higher Ti contents than Group 1 basalts. Group 2 basalts also have higher concentrations of incompatible trace elements with slightly lower HREE contents than Group 1 basalts. These chemical features can be explained by ~10% partial melting of an enriched mantle source. Group 3 includes high MgO cumulates with Na- and Ti-poor clinopyroxene, forsteritic olivine, and Cr-rich spinel. The cumulates show strong depletion of HFSE, low HREE contents, and LREE enrichments. These rocks may have formed by olivine accumulation from boninitic magmas. The petrogenesis of the N-MORB-type basalts and basaltic andesites is in excellent agreement with the melting conditions inferred from the MOR-type peridotites in Othris. The occurrence of both N- and E-MORB-type lavas suggests that the mantle generating the lavas of the Othris Ophiolite must have been heterogeneous on a comparatively fine scale. Furthermore, the inferred parental magmas of the SSZ-type cumulates are broadly complementary to the SSZ-type peridotites found in Othris. These results suggest that the crustal section may be genetically related to the mantle section. In the Othris Ophiolite mafic rocks recording magmatic processes characteristic both of mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones occur within close spatial association. These observations are consistent with the formation of the Othris Ophiolite in the upper plate of a newly created intra-oceanic subduction zone.
