Late Early Cretaceous adakitic granitoids and associated magnesian and potassium‐rich mafic enclaves and dikes in the Tunchang–Fengmu area, Hainan Province (South China): Partial melting of lower crust and mantle, and magma hybridization

Overlapping Sr–Nd–Hf–O isotopic compositions in Permian mafic enclaves and host granitoids in Alxa Block, NW China: Evidence for crust–mantle interaction and implications for the generation of silicic igneous provinces

“…It is widely accepted that mafic and felsic microgranular enclaves result from the mixing or mingling of mafic and crustal felsic magmas (e.g., Barbarin, 2005;Blundy and Sparks, 1992;Dorais et al, 1990;Feeley et al, 2008;Sun et al, 2010;Vernon, 1984Vernon, , 1990Wang et al, 2012;Wiebe et al, 1997;Yang et al, 2006Yang et al, , 2007. Two other proposals suggest that they are: (1) fragments of recrystallized, refractory metamorphic rocks or of melt residues from the granite source (e.g., Chappell and White, 1991;Chappell and Wyborn, 2012;Chappell et al, 1987); or (2) cumulates of early-formed crystals or chilled margins (e.g., Bonin, 1991;Collins et al, 2006;Donaire et al, 2005;Shellnutt et al, 2010;Tindle and Pearce, 1983).…”

Early Late Cretaceous (ca. 93Ma) norites and hornblendites in the Milin area, eastern Gangdese: Lithosphere–asthenosphere interaction during slab roll-back and an insight into early Late Cretaceous (ca. 100–80Ma) magmatic “flare-up” in southern Lhasa (Tibet)

“…In this scenario, upwelling asthenospheric mantle would have undergone decompression melting and induced partial melting of overlying lithospheric mantle that had been modified by subduction-related fluids (e.g., Wang et al, 2012). Interactions between the melts of asthenospheric and lithospheric mantle would have followed (e.g., Chung et al, 1994;Wang et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2005) and may have been accompanied by the thermo-mechanical erosion of lithosphere by the convective upwelling of asthenosphere (Chung et al, 1994;Xu et al, 2005 …”

“…The normalizing values are from Sun and McDonough (1989). Data for 136-81 Ma mafic dikes and~107 Ma granites are from Ge et al (2003) and Wang et al (2012), respectively. OIB and E-MORB are after Sun and McDonough (1989).…”
