Elemental and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf Isotope Signatures of Early Cretaceous Magmatic Rocks in the Wulian Area, Eastern Shandong: Implications for Crust-Mantle Interaction at the Edge of the Sulu Collisional Orogenic Belt
Abstract:We present new whole-rock geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic, and zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopic data for Early Cretaceous magmatic rocks (trachy-andesite, pyroxene diorite, diorite porphyrite, and dolerite) in the Wulian area of Shandong, eastern North China. These data are used to constrain the mechanism of crust-mantle interaction at the edge of the Sulu orogenic belt. The belt formed by the collision of the Yangtze Craton (YC) and the North China Craton (NCC) during the Mesozoic. New zircon U-Pb dating indicates … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
