Elemental and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions of late Cenozoic Abaga basalts, Inner Mongolia: Implications for petrogenesis and mantle process

Chemical and Pb isotope composition of olivine-hosted melt inclusions from the Hannuoba basalts, North China Craton: Implications for petrogenesis and mantle source

“…N-MORB and OIB data are from Sun and McDonough (1989). Whole-rock trace-element compositions of Cenozoic basalts from the NCC are from previous studies Basu et al, 1991;Xu et al, 2005Xu et al, , 2012aTang et al, 2006;Choi et al, 2008;Ho et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009;Zeng et al, 2010Zeng et al, , 2011Wang et al, 2011;Hong et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2012b;Zhang et al, 2012;Sakuyama et al, 2013). that a residual mineral phase fractionating Ba from Th was present during partial melting (Fig.…”

“…Pb isotopic composition of the Pacific MORBs is based on data compiled by Stracke et al (2003), and the composition of the EM1 end-member is modified after Saal et al (2005). The gray crosses represent data from other Cenozoic basalts in the NCC (Basu et al, 1991;Xu et al, 2005Xu et al, , 2012aTang et al, 2006;Choi et al, 2008;Ho et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009;Zeng et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2012b;Zhang et al, 2012;Sakuyama et al, 2013). Thompson and Gibson (2000).…”

Coexistence of the moderately refractory and fertile mantle beneath the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt

“…1c). The basaltic magmas were dominantly derived from a depleted asthenospheric source with minor contributions of an enriched mantle component (EM2) from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (Ho et al, 2008). They contain abundant ultramafic xenoliths and pyroxene megacrysts (Zhang and Liu, 2006).…”

Lithosphere thinning beneath west North China Craton: Evidence from geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotope compositions of Jining basalts

“…This volcanic province could be genetically related to other Cenozoic volcanic provinces nearby such as Hannuoba , Chifeng (Han et al, 1999), and Abaga (Ho et al, 2008). The Jining Cenozoic basaltic volcanism spanned a long period from the late Oligocene to the Quaternary (~33~0.1 Ma) as evidenced by K-Ar dating, stratigraphy and paleontology (Luo and Chen, 1990;Chen et al, 2004;Zhang and Han, 2006;Ho et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2013).…”

“…13d. et al, 2005), from location DB dated at 21.9 Ma (Chen et al, 2004), from location YYG dated at 23.523.3 Ma (Zhao et al, 2013), and from location BYCG dated at 1.30.11 Ma (Ho et al, 2008). For comparison, average composition of ocean island basalts (OIB; Sun and McDonough, 1989) and the average NCC crust (Gao et al, 1998) are also plotted.…”
