“…They are characterized by variable Mg # (100×Mg 2+ /(Fe 2+ +Mg 2+ )) (35-67), Cr (3.08-578 ppm) and Ni (12.4-107 ppm) contents. These rocks have Nb/Y ratios of 0.19-0.96, plotting exclusively in the subalkaline-basalt field on the Nb/Y versus Zr/TiO 2 diagram of Winchester and Floyd (1976) (Fig. 6a).…”

“…The immobile nature of Ti, Zr, P, Y, Nb means that they are neither affected by low-temperature alteration nor by metamorphism (e.g., Winchester and Floyd 1976;Pearce and Norry 1979) in the metamorphic P-T range experienced by the studied samples. This is supported by the fairly good correlation on variation diagrams of Zr.…”

Tectonic significance of Triassic mafic rocks in the June Complex, Sanandaj–Sirjan zone, Iran

et al. 2017

This study concentrates on the petrological and geochemical investigation of mafic rocks embedded within the voluminous Triassic June Complex of the central Sanandaj-Sirjan zone (Iran), which are crucial to reconstruct the geodynamics of the Neotethyan passive margin. The Triassic mafic rocks are alkaline to sub-alkaline basalts, containing 43.36-49.09 wt% SiO 2 , 5.19-20.61 wt% MgO and 0.66-4.59 wt% total alkalis. Based on MgO concentrations, the mafic rocks fall into two groups: cumulates (Mg# = 51.61-58.94) and isotropic basaltic liquids (Mg# = 24.54-42.66). In all samples, the chondrite-normalized REE patterns show enrichment of light REEs with variable (La/Yb) N ratios ranging from 2.48 to 9.00, which confirm their amalgamated OIB-like and E-MORB-like signatures. Enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE) relative to the primitive mantle further support this interpretation. No samples point to crustal contamination, all having undergone fractionation of olivine ? clinopyroxene ? plagioclase. Nevertheless, elemental data suggest that the substantial variations in (La/Sm) PM and Zr/Nb ratios can be explained by variable degrees of partial melting rather than fractional crystallization from a common parental magma. The high (Nb/Yb) PM ratio in the alkaline mafic rocks points to the mixing of magmas from enriched and depleted mantle sources. Abundant OIB alkaline basalts and rare E-MORB appear to be linked to the drifting stage on the northern passive margin of the Neotethys Ocean.
