LA‐ICP‐MS zircon U–Pb age, whole‐rock geochemistry, Sr–Nd–Pb isotope, and zircon Hf isotope constraints on the origin and dynamic setting of Mesozoic mafic dykes, Henan Province, southeastern North China Craton
Abstract:Mafic dykes from the Henan Province within the southeastern North China Craton (NCC) were sampled. Herein, we present new zircon laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry U-Pb age, whole-rock geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic, and zircon Hf isotopic data for the five areas where these mafic dykes outcrop. The mafic dykes are all dolerite and were emplaced between 121.6 ± 1.1 Ma and 131.7 ± 1.2 Ma. These are characterized by enrichment in some of the large-ion lithophile elements (e.g., Rb, Ba, T… 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.
