| Abstract: | New chronological, geochemical, and isotopic data are reported for Triassic (219–236 Ma) adakite-magnesian andesite-Nb-enriched
basaltic rock associations from the Tuotuohe area, central Qiangtang terrane. The adakites and magnesian andesites are characterized
by high Sr/Y (25–45), La/Yb (14–42) and Na2O/K2O (12–49) ratios, high Al2O3 (15.34–18.28 wt%) and moderate to high Sr concentrations (220–498 ppm) and εND (t) (+0.86 to +1.21) values. Low enrichments of Th, Rb relative to Nb, and subequal normalized Nb and La contents, and enrichments
of light rare earth elements combine to distinguish a group of Nb-enriched basaltic rocks (NEBs). They have positive εND (t) (+2.57 to +5.16) values. Positive correlations between Th, La and Nb and an absence of negative Nb anomalies on mantle
normalized plots indicate the NEBs are products of a mantle source metasomatized by a slab melt rather than by hydrous fluids.
A continuous compositional variation between adakites and magnesian andesites confirms slab melt interaction with mantle peridotite.
The spatial association of the NEBs with adakites and magnesian andesites define an “adakitic metasomatic volcanic series”
recognized in many demonstrably subduction-related environments (e.g., Mindanao arc, Philippines; Kamchatka arc, Russia; and
southern Baja California arc, Mexico). The age of the Touhuohe suite, and its correlation with Triassic NEB to the north indicates
that volcanism derived from subduction-modified mantle was abundant prior to 220 Ma in the central Qiangtang terrane. |
