Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

Highly Enriched and Heterogeneous Mantle Signals Recorded in Mantle Pyroxenite Veins
Abstract The Earth's mantle is inherently heterogeneous, reflecting ongoing mantle depletion and crustal recycling driven by plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotopes in oceanic basalts are commonly used to characterize mantle reservoirs, but the full chemical diversity of mantle‐derived melts may be obscured by magma mixing during melt transport and ...

Post‐collisional mafic rocks not only record geodynamic processes at the end of the orogenic cycle but also retain various clues regarding preceding interactions between subducted slabs and mantle wedges.

Carbinatitic magmatism evidence in the Quaternary volcanic rocks in the west of Nowbaran, NW of Iran [PDF]
The fourteen numbers of ultrabasic volcanoes eruption in the west of Nowbaran are located in the west margin of Iranian central zone near to the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone.

ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

Abstract Serpentinite plays a major role in the geodynamics of subduction zones. However, the processes by which serpentinite is incorporated into accretionary complexes, and the extent to which it interacts chemically and physically with accretionary lithologies, remain unclear.

The Origin of Carbonate Magmas Predating and Accompanying Main‐Phase LIPs Eruptions
Abstract Some large igneous provinces (LIPs) are associated with precursory carbonatite eruptions. Models for precursory carbonatites invoking partial melting of a carbonate metasomatized lithosphere appear implausible, given the long time needed for heat conduction from the plume head.

ABSTRACT Understanding the pressure of emplacement of granitic intrusions is crucial to understanding the exhumation history of plutons and constraining the tectonic setting of magma emplacement. However, P–T and geochronological constraints from exhumed plutons are often characterized by large uncertainties, especially in shallow crustal settings with

Abstract The Tangra Yumco Rift (TYR) in central Tibet is a key window for crust–mantle interactions during extension. We performed high‐resolution crust‐mantle imaging using receiver function analysis, 1‐D nonlinear S‐wave velocity inversion, and tomoDD tomography, revealing a vertical Crust–Mantle Degassing System (CMDS) bounded by the Zhala (ZF) and ...

Clasts of albite‐porphyroblastic quartzofeldspathic schist, derived from the Otago Schist basement, occur within the Port Chalmers Breccia, a diatreme at the centre of the Dunedin stratovolcano, New Zealand. Schists have undergone varying degrees of replacement reactions (at temperatures of 300° to >500°C) producing hornfelses, with Ca‐ and K‐enriched ...
