Abstract:The Abor volcanics outcroping in the core of the Siang window in the Eastern Himalaya comprise voluminous mafic volcanics(47%—56%w(SiO2)),with subordinate felsic volcanics (67%—75%w(SiO2)).The felsic volcanics are dacitic to rhyolitic in composition and are typically enriched in LREE(La/SmN=3.09-3.90) with high REE contents(256-588 ppm),moderately fractionated REE patterns(CeN/YbN=6.54-9.52) and pronounced negative Eu anomalies(En/Eu*=.55- 0.72).Wide variations in Rb/Zr.K/Rb and La/Sm ratios suggest that they were derived from magmas which were randomly contaminated with crustal material.Chemical characteristics and petrogenetic modelling indicate that the dacites were generated by~15%partial melting of a mafic source leaving a residue with 55%plagioclase.14%’ orthoclase,18%clinopyroxene.5%orthopyroxene.8%hornblende. The silica-rich rhyodaciles and rhyolites were derived from a dacite magma source by a higher degree (>45%) fractional crystallization of an assemblage consisting of 70%plagioclase,12%clinopyroxene. 7%amphibole and 11%magnetite.The associated LREE-LILE enrichment and pronounced negative anomalies for HFSE(Nb,P,and Ti) exhibited by these felsic volcanics are characteristic of continental rift volcanism.implying that they were emplaced during lithospheric extension.
