Alkali-rich porphyry and its relation with intraplate deformation of north part of Jinsha River belt in western Yunnan, China

A suite of alkali-rich porphyry with 26. 5–37. 6Ma occur along the Jinsha River suture zone in west Yunnan. They are characterized by LREE-rich distribution patterns and no Eu anomaly. These porphyries have formed in post-collisional environment; (⁸⁷Sr/^8bSr) of porphyries, amphibolite xenolithes and associated basalts are 0.707 3, 0.706 5-0.707 l and0.705 8-0.706 5, E_Nd(T) are -3.4-6.3, -2.1-7.4 and -3.3 respectively. Pb isotope compositions of these rocks also show a little difference. The evidence shows that the porphyry could be derived from partial melting of the “crust-mantle mixed layer”. The relation between Cenozoic magmatism and intraplate deformation since Paleogene has been discussed.
