Continental flood basalts from the Parana plateau are of LowerCretaceous age and are represented by abundant (c. 45 per centby volume) two-pyroxene tholeiites characterized by relativelylow-TiO₂ (< 2 wt. percent) and incompatible (e.g., P, Ba,Sr, La, Ce, Zr) element contents. Low-Ti basalts are distributedthroughout the Parana Basin and predominate in the southernregions, where they represent over 90 per cent by volume ofthe basic activity. Major and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotope ratios were analysedin 43 low-Ti basalts selected so as to cover the entire Paranabasin. In general, low-Ti basalts with initial ^87Sr86Sr ratios (R₀)lower than O7060 may be divided into two groups: (A) those relativelyenriched in incompatible elements (e.g., average K₂O = O.85and P₂O₅ = 0.27 wt. per cent, and Ba = 346, Sr =289, Rb=16;La =18; Zr=132 p.p.m.) and SiO₂ (average 51.1 wt. per cent);and (B) depleted in incompatible elements (e.g., average K₂O= 0.31, P₂O₅ =0.17 wt. per cent, and Ba=178, Sr= 179, Rb= 11,La = 9, Zr = 93 p.p.m.) and SiO₂ (average 49.7 wt. per cent).Low-Ti basalts of Group A are typical of northern Paran? {Ro= O70550–O70596), but a few are also present in centralParan? (Ro = 070577–0–70591), while those of GroupB are exclusive to central Paran– {Ro = 070463–0–70580) Low-Ti basalts with R₀> O7060 are typical of southern Paran?(R₀ = O7O639 –O71137), but are also present in centralParana (Ro = 070620–070890). These low-Ti basalts havechemical similarity (e.g., Ti, P, Sr) with low-Ti basalts depletedin incompatible elements (Group B) from which, however, theydiffer-in possessing significantly higher concentrations ofSiO₂, K₂O, Rb, and Ba. Such chemical diversity, accompaniedby important Ro variations (070463–071137) suggests thatthe low-Ti basalts from southern and part of central Paranamay result from crustal contamination. On the contrary, low-Ti basalts from northern, and part of central, Parana (GroupA) may be considered virtually uncontaminated. Results indicate that crustal contamination by granitic material(s)may be in the range 7–17 per cent. Such contaminationin central Paran? appears compatible with an assimilation-fractionalcrystallization process (AFC), while in southern Parana, othercontamination processes (e.g., mixing of magmasfrom crustaland mantle sources, assimilation of wall rock while magmas flowthrough dykes, etc.) were probably superimposed on AFC. Thedegree of crustal contamination generally decreases from southernto northern Parana. Sr and Nd isotope ratios suggest that mantle source materialfor low-Ti basalts depleted in incompatible elements (GroupB: southern and part of central Parana) had a lower R₀ value(c. O.7046) and a higher ^l43Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratio (Nd + c. 0.51274)than that for low-Ti basalts enriched in incompatible elements(Group A: northern and part of central Parana), namely R₀ c.O.7059 and Nd+ c. 0.51242. These Sr-isotopic differences alsoapply to the northern (incompatible-element rich, R₀ c. O.7053)and southern (incompatible-element poor R₀ c. 0.7046) basaltprovinces of Karoo, suggesting that both Parana and Karoo basaltmagmas, differing by about 70 m.y. in age, probably originatedin a similar batch of subcontinental lithospheric mantle inpredrift times (cf. Cox, 1986). The extension of the Dupal Sr-anomaly (i.e. Rio Grande Rise+ Wai vis Ridge + Gough and Tristan da Cunha islands: Sr = 46=53;Hart, 1984) inside the Brazilian continent (Sr = 46–59)suggests that the lithospheric mantle of the Parana (and Karoo)provinces was possibly also the local source of oceanic volcanismup to advanced stages of the opening of the South Atlantic. ^*Reprint requests to E.

Evidence for Multi-stage Magmatic Evolution during the past 60 kyr at Campi Flegrei (Italy) Deduced from Sr, Nd and Pb Isotope Data   总被引：5，自引：2，他引：5

The Campi Flegrei caldera, an active volcanic field in the Campanianprovince, Italy, is a nested structure generated by the CampanianIgnimbrite (37 ka BP) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (12 kaBP) eruptions. Since at least 60 ka BP Campi Flegrei has producedmagmas with variable chemical and Sr isotopic compositions.⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios increase through time from 0·7068 to0·7086, with the highest ratios detected in the least-evolvedshoshonitic products. The origin of this progressive Sr isotopicvariability has been investigated using new Sr, Nd and Pb isotopicdata for volcanic rocks and entrained xenoliths. The data obtainedare combined and discussed with previous geochemical and Srisotope data and used to suggest a multi-stage evolution forthe magmatic system, mainly involving deeper and shallower crustalmagma storage reservoirs. The deeper reservoir is proposed tobe a magma chamber periodically refilled by primitive maficmagmas which subsequently undergo contamination by crustal material.The assimilated crustal material is represented by xenolithsrecovered in the shoshonitic pyroclastic products. Magma batchesoriginating from the deeper reservoir migrated towards the surfaceand fed a shallower complex magmatic system. The deeper chamberwas tapped during the eruption of least evolved magmas by regionalfault systems. In addition to crystal–liquid fractionation,open-system processes occurred in the shallower system.
