Fingerprints of the Kerguelen Mantle Plume in Southern Tibet: Evidence from Early Cretaceous Magmatism in the Tethyan Himalaya

Early Cretaceous magmatism suggested to be related with the Kerguelen mantle plume has been reported in both the eastern and western Tethyan Himalayan terrane.Coeval magmatism(133-138 Ma)recorded by hypabyssal intrusive rocks have been recently discovered in the central Tethyan Himalaya(TH).The hypabyssal intrusions are dominated by OIB-like basaltic rocks intruded by later porphyritic/ophitic intermediate rocks and are characterized by strongly light rare earth element enrichment and prominent Na-Ta depletion and Pb enrichment.The basaltic rocks have low 143Nd/144Nd ratios ranging from 0.512365 to 0.512476 but relatively high 87Sr/86Sr ratios ranging from 0.708185 to 0.708966.TheεNd(t)ratios of the basaltic rocks are between-4.33 and-2.20 and initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios are 0.707807 to 0.708557.Geochemical data demonstrate that these rocks have experienced combined crustal assimilation and fractional crystallization processes.Magmatic zircons from the hypabyssal rocks exclusively have negativeεHf(t)values ranging from-0.7 to-12.7,suggestive of assimilation of crustal material.Zircons from these hypabyssal rocks have UPb ages ranging from 130 to 147 Ma.Inherited zircons have UPb ages from 397 to 2495 Ma.All the zircons are characterized by negativeεHf(t)values.The Jiding ocean island basalt(OIB)-like magmatism is geochemically and geochronologically comparable with that in the western and eastern Tethyan Himalaya,indicating widespread OIB-like magmatism in the northern margin of Greater India during the Cretaceous.Collectively,these rocks can be correlated with other early Cretaceous magmatism in western Australia and northern Antarctica.Considering the similarities,we suggest that the Jiding hypabyssal rocks are also genetically related to Kerguelen plume.Within the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone(YZSZ),there are also numerous occurrences of OIB-like rocks derived from mantle sources different from those of N-MORB-like magmas.The OIB-like magmatism in the YZSZ is nearly coeval with that in the TH,and the two are geochemically similar.We suggest that the OIB-like magmatism in the Neo-Tethyan ocean and the northern margin of Greater India may represent the dispersed fingerprints of the Kerguelen plume preserved in southern Tibet,China.

RECORD OF BLOCK ROTATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD REVERSALS IN THE TETHYAN HIMALAYA(HIDDEN VALLEY,CENTRAL NEPAL)

Metasediments from the Tethyan Himalaya (TH) were sampled for paleomagnetic studies in several areas. In this paper, we will present the first results from Carboniferous and Early Triassic marly limestones from Hidden Valley (Central Nepal).. The paleomagnetic directions reflect a Tertiary overprint probably synchronous with the metamorphism. In this area, the metamorphic conditions reached during Tertiary are poorly constrained. Temperatures are probably in between 300 and 400℃. The age of the thermal event is still debated. No geochronological data is available in this area. Previously published geochronological data from the northern part of TH metasediments in India ranges from 47 to 42Ma (Ar/Ar Illite) after Weissman et al. (1999) and Bonhomme and Garzanti (1991). While in the southern part (close to HHC), biotite Ar/Ar data ranges from 30 to 26Ma in Marsyandi Valley (Coleman and Hodges, 1998) and muscovite Ar/Ar ranges from 18 to 12Ma in the upper Kali Gandaki Valley (Godin et al., 1998).. In this context, the age of the magnetization can′t be defined with precision.

Late Triassic sedimentary records in the northern Tethyan Himalaya:Tectonic link with Greater India

The Upper Triassic flysch sediments(Nieru Formation and Langjiexue Group)exposed in the Eastern Tethyan Himalayan Sequence are crucial for unraveling the controversial paleogeography and paleotectonics of the Himalayan orogen.This work reports new detrital zircon U-Pb ages and whole-rock geochemical data for clastic rocks from flysch strata in the Shannan area.The mineral modal composition data suggest that these units were mainly sourced from recycled orogen provenances.The chemical compositions of the sandstones in the strata are similar to the chemical composition of upper continental crust.These rocks have relatively low Chemical Index of Alteration values(with an average of 62)and Index of Compositional Variability values(0.69),indicating that they experienced weak weathering and were mainly derived from a mature source.The geochemical compositions of the Upper Triassic strata are similar to those of graywackes from continental island arcs and are indicative of an acidicintermediate igneous source.Furthermore,hornblende and feldspar experienced decomposition in the provenance,and the sediment became enriched in zircon and monazite during sediment transport.The detrital zircons in the strata feature two main age peaks at 225-275 Ma and 500-600 Ma,nearly continuous Paleoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic ages,and a broad inconspicuous cluster in the Tonian-Stenian(800-1200 Ma).The detrital zircons from the Upper Triassic sandstones in the study area lack peaks at 300-325 Ma(characteristic of the Lhasa block)and 1150-1200 Ma(characteristic of the Lhasa and West Australia blocks).Therefore,neither the Lhasa block nor the West Australia blocks likely acted as the main provenance of the Upper Triassic strata.Newly discovered Permian-Triassic basalt and mafic dikes in the Himalayas could have provided the 225-275 Ma detrital zircons.Therefore,Indian and Himalayan units were the main provenances of the flysch strata.The Tethyan Himalaya was part of the northern passive margin and was not an exotic terrane separated from India during the Permian to Early Cretaceous.This evidence suggests that the Neo-Tethyan ocean opened prior to the Late Triassic and that the Upper Triassic deposits were derived from continental crustal fragments adjacent to the northern passive continental margin of Greater India.

Zircon SHRIMP U–Pb age of Late Jurassic OIB-type volcanic rocks from the Tethyan Himalaya: constraints on the initial activity time of the Kerguelen mantle plume

This work presents zircon U–Pb age and wholerock geochemical data for the volcanic rocks from the Lakang Formation in the southeastern Tethyan Himalaya and represents the initial activity of the Kerguelen mantle plume. SHRIMP U–Pb dating of zircons from the volcanic rocks yielded a ^(206) Pb/^(238) U age of 147 ± 2 Ma that reflects the time of Late Jurassic magmatism. Whole rock analyses of major and trace elements show that the volcanic rocks are characterized by high content of Ti O_2(2.62 wt%–4.25 wt%) and P_2O_5(0.38 wt%–0.68 wt%), highly fractionated in LREE/HREE [(La/Yb)N= 5.35–8.31] with no obvious anomaly of Eu, and HFSE enrichment with no obvious anomaly of Nb and Ta, which are similar to those of ocean island basalts and tholeiitic basaltic andesites indicating a mantle plume origin. The Kerguelen mantle plume produced a massive amount of magmatic rocks from Early Cretaceous to the present, which widely dispersed from their original localities of emplacement due to the changing motions of the Antarctic, Australian, and Indian plates. However, our new geochronological and geochemical results indicate that the Kerguelen mantle plume started from the Late Jurassic. Furthermore, we suggest that the Kerguelen mantle plume may played a significant role in the breakup of eastern Gondwanaland according to the available geochronological, geochemical and paleomagnetic data.

TERTIARY BLOCK ROTATIONS AND PYRRHOTITE/ MAGNETITE GEOTHERMOMETRY IN THE TETHYAN HIMALAYA(SHIAR KHOLA,CENTRAL NEPAL)

In Mesozoic carbonates of the Tethyan Himalayas two characteristic remanent magnetisations(ChRM\-1 and ChRM\-2)were identified by their unblocking spectra.The ChRM\-1 is carried by pyrrhotite(unblocking spectra:270～340℃),acquired as a secondary thermoremanent magnetisation (TRM) during exhumation and cooling.The ChRM\-2 is carried by magnetite (unblocking spectra:430～580℃).A primary origin is indicated by calcite twin geothermometry and remanences consistent with the expected direction.Along an E—W profile of 10km length the ratio of remanence intensity of pyrrhotite to magnetite ( R PYR/MAG )changes systematically (from 0 38 to 1 00,Fig.1).It is known that pyrrhotite is formed in marly carbonates during low\|grade metamorphism (Rochette 1987).This occurs at the expense of magnetite.Thus the ratio R PYR/MAG is related to metamorphic temperatures and can be used as a geothermometer for temperatures≤300℃ in low\|grade metamorphic carbonates where other methods are rare.Stable remanence directions were used to estimate the amount of block rotation around vertical and horizontal axes(i.e.Klootwijk et al.1985,Appel et al.1991 & 1995).In the Shiar area the pyrrhotite remanence directions follow a small\|circle distribution with a best fit parallel to the N—S direction(Fig.2).

The influence of Cretaceous paleolatitude variation of the Tethyan Himalaya on the India-Asia collision pattern

Identifying when, where, and how India and Asia collided is a prerequisite to better understand the evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau. Whereas with essentially the same published paleomagnetic data, a large range of different India-Asia collision models have been proposed in the literature. Based upon the premise of a northwards-moving Indian plate during the Cretaceous times, we analyze the significant variations in relative paleolatitude produced by a nearly 90° counterclockwise(CCW)rotation of the plate itself during the Cretaceous. Interestingly, recent studies proposed a dual-collision process with a Greater India basin or post-Neo-Tethyan ocean for the India-Asia collision, mainly in the light of divergent Cretaceous paleolatitude differences of the Tethyan Himalaya between the observed values and expected ones computed from the apparent polar wander path of the Indian plate. However, we find that these varied paleolatitude differences are mainly resulted from a nearly 90° CCW rotation of a rigid/quasi-rigid Greater Indian plate during the Cretaceous. On the other hand, when the Indian craton and Tethyan Himalaya moved as two individual blocks rather than a united rigid/quasi-rigid Greater Indian plate before the India-Asia collision, current available Cretaceous paleomagnetic data permit only multiple paleogeographic solutions for the tectonic relationship between the Indian plate and the Tethyan Himalayan terrane. We therefore argue that the tectonic relationship between the Indian plate and the Tethyan Himalayan terrane cannot be uniquely constrained by current paleomagnetic data in the absence of sufficient geological evidence, and the so-called Greater India basin model is just one of the ideal scenarios.

Recent approach to Buchia biostratigraphy from the Tethyan Himalaya area,China

Recent collections from six sections in Lanongla area,Tethyan Himalaya allow the establishment of four buchia assemblages.In ascending order,they are Buchia-Buchia spitiensis,Buchia masquensis-Buchia rugasa,Buchia blanfordiana,Buchia piochii and Buchia subokensis assemblages.These Buchia assemblages first demonstrate that not only the Upper Jurassic strata but also the highest Buchia assemblage-Buchia subokensis,which appeared in Lower Cretaceous strata all over the world are present in Lanongla area.This first records the highest Buchia assemblage in Lanongla area.

Nd isotopic compositions of the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence in southeastern Tibet

The Himalayan orogen consists of three major lithologic units that are separated by two major north-dipping faults: the Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS) below the Main Central Thrust (MCT), the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex (GHC) above the MCT, and the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence (THS) juxtaposed by the South Tibet Detachment fault (STD) over the GHC. Due to widespread meta-morphism and intense deformation, differentiating the above three lithologic units is often difficult. This problem has been overcome by the use of Sm-Nd isotopic analysis. The previous studies suggested that the LHS can be clearly distinguished from the GHC and THS by their Nd isotope compositions. However, the lack of detailed and systematic Sm-Nd isotopic studies of the THS across the Himalaya in general has made differentiation of this unit from the nearby GHC impossible, as the two appear to share overlapping Nd compositions and model ages. To address this problem, we systematically sam-pled and analyzed Nd isotopes of the THS in southeastern Tibet directly north of Bhutan. Our study identifies two distinctive fields in a εNd -TDM plot. The first is defined by the εNd(210 Ma) values of -3.45 to -7.34 and TDM values of 1.15 to 1.29 Ga from a Late Triassic turbidite sequence, which are broadly similar to those obtained from the Lhasa block. The second field is derived from the Early Cretaceous meta-sedimentary rocks with εNd(130 Ma) values from -15.24 to -16.61 and TDM values from 1.63 to 2.00 Ga; these values are similar to those obtained from the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex in Bhutan directly south of our sampling traverse, which has εNd(130 Ma) values of -10.89 to -16.32 and Nd model ages (TDM) of 1.73 to 2.20 Ga. From the above observations, we suggest that the Late Triassic strata of the southeast Tibetan THS were derived from the Lhasa block in the north, while the Early Cretaceous strata of the THS were derived from a source similar to the High Himalayan Crystalline Complex or Indian craton in the south. Our interpretation is consistent with the existing palaeocurrent data and provenance analysis of the Late Triassic strata in southeastern Tibet, which indicate the sediments derived from a northern source. Thus, we suggest that the Lhasa terrane and the Indian craton were close to one another in the Late Triassic and were separated by a rift valley across which a large submarine fan was transported southward and deposited on the future northern margin of the Indian continent.

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating for the dacite of the Sangxiu Formation in the central segment of Tethyan Himalaya and its implications

Petrology and SHRIMP U-Pb zircon chronol- ogy are reported for the dacite of the Sangxiu Formation in the central segment of Tethyan Himalaya to the southeast of Yangzuoyong Co. Twenty-one measured zircon grains from a dacite sample of the Sangxiu Formation can be divided into two groups, which include long columnar magmatic zircons of 133±3.0 Ma, representing the age of volcanism in the Sangxiu Formation, and inherited zircons consisting of core and overgrowth rim, in which ages of the three cores are 2244±16, 1153±33 and 492±25 Ma respectively; and the age of one overgrowth rim is 132.7±5.2 Ma. These ages are con- sidered to represent the remelting of accretionary crust at different periods resulting from the volcanism of Sangxiu Formation. These volcanic rocks in the Sangxiu Formation, for which age is close to that of Bunbury basalt in south- western margin of Australia, and older than that of Rajma- hal basalt in northeastern India, maybe considered as the products of early activity of the hotspot represented by the Rajmahal basalt.

Tomographical evidence for Indian Plate underthrusting only beneath Tethyan Himalaya

Tomographical inversion was performed using the data recorded by 51 seismographys deployed on a profile that followed southern Xizang (Tibet) high-way through a Sino-French Joint seismic experiment. The results indicate that the underthrusting Indian Plate is limited to the south of IndusYarlung Zangbo Suture (IYS) beneath Tethyan Himalaya, extends vertically to 150 km deep with relatively high angle near Gala, and becomes horizontally northward. The seismic velocities beneath Kangmar, Gangdise and Yangbajain-Golug rift in the middle of the lithosphere show low velocity features, which may indicate the existence of high temperature and partial melting. The results from tomography strongly suggest that the continent-continent subduction occurred only beneath Himalaya and was confined to the south of IYS since the collision between India and Eurasia.

新特提斯洋打开于晚三叠世?——印度大陆北缘沉积响应

新特提斯洋是中生代位于北方欧亚大陆和南方冈瓦纳大陆之间的古大洋,它在青藏高原南部地区于新生代早期因印度-欧亚大陆碰撞而消亡,其遗迹为现今的印度河-雅鲁藏布缝合带。新特提斯洋打开以拉萨地块从冈瓦纳大陆的裂离为标志。准确约束新特提斯洋的开启时间是重建冈瓦纳大陆裂解过程和特提斯洋演化历史的关键,但目前学术界对于新特提斯洋的开启时间还存在很大争议,不同学科方法的认识从早二叠世到晚三叠世不等。本文对新特提斯洋南侧印度被动大陆边缘二叠纪—三叠纪沉积地层进行了系统的梳理,研究发现在早二叠世冰期结束之后,印度大陆北缘长期表现为稳定的沉积环境,显著的沉积环境变化仅发生在晚三叠世。晚三叠世的沉积环境变化伴随着沉积和沉降速率增加、沉积物源变化、双峰式火山活动以及古地理格局的重大改变。研究认为,晚三叠世印度大陆北缘沉积作用变化所记录的区域伸展作用很可能代表了新特提斯洋的开启。

特提斯喜马拉雅然巴地区早白垩世变基性岩的岩浆源区和成因机制

藏南特提斯喜马拉雅构造单元中出露有大量的早白垩世基性岩,记录了印度大陆北缘在新生代碰撞造山前的深部构造—岩浆过程,其成因机制是研究印度被动大陆边缘形成演化历史的关键。文章对特提斯喜马拉雅东部然巴地区出露的早白垩世变基性岩进行了较为系统的岩相学和地球化学研究。这些变基性岩主要包括角闪石岩和斜长角闪岩,以脉体或透镜体形式出露于然巴穹窿周边的变沉积岩地层中。地球化学结果显示,它们的原岩为拉斑玄武岩系列岩石,具有较低的SiO_(2)含量(44.78~47.42 wt%),TiO_(2)含量变化较大(0.73~2.16 wt%),较为富MgO(7.31~9.60 wt%)和FeOt(9.68~15.87wt%),Mg~#值中等偏高(46.4~63.9)。在同位素组成上,这些变基性岩的ε_(Nd)(t)值主要变化于5.7~6.5之间,落入印度洋MORB范围内,指示亏损地幔源区的贡献。另一方面,这些变基性岩具有类似于E-MORB的稀土和微量元素配分特征,指示岩浆中应存在富集组分的物质贡献。由于然巴变基性岩并未表现出明显的高场强元素亏损特征,同时它们的Nb/U比值与地幔系列岩石相近,因此推测这些基性岩在成岩过程中受陆壳混染的程度不高,其富集组分主要应是来自富集地幔源区的贡献。综上,然巴早白垩世基性岩可能是来自亏损的软流圈地幔与富集的印度大陆岩石圈地幔相互作用的产物,该岩浆作用发生在东冈瓦纳大陆的裂解早期(约140 Ma),是凯尔盖朗地幔柱活动早期阶段引发软流圈地幔上涌的结果。

特提斯喜马拉雅二叠纪—白垩纪中—基性火山岩研究进展

介绍了特提斯喜马拉雅带中—基性火山岩的研究进展,报道了新近在该带中部地区二叠系到白垩系地层中发现的11个层位的中—基性火山岩,讨论了在特提斯喜马拉雅火山岩研究中存在的一些问题及其在反演印度大陆北缘大地构造属性方面的意义。据目前已有的研究成果,认为特提斯喜马拉雅带的二叠纪火山活动可能与新特提斯洋的开启有成生联系,中生代火山事件则主要与印度大陆北缘不同时期的伸展活动有关。新近发现的中—基性火山岩的科学意义体现在3个方面:查明印度大陆北缘二叠纪—白垩纪长达225Ma时间跨度范围内的大地构造属性;了解印度大陆北缘构造活动的时空演化规律,重建特提斯的构造演化格架,为全球对比提供依据。

藏南特提斯喜马拉雅前陆断褶带新生代构造演化与锑金多金属成矿作用

特提斯喜马拉雅前陆断褶带由近东西向展布的藏南拆离系主拆离带和洛扎、绒布—哲古两条断裂带及一系列倒转复式褶皱组成,是始喜马拉雅期印度板块与欧亚大陆发生大规模陆-陆碰撞,导致特提斯喜马拉雅前陆盆地发生大规模缩短、沉积盖层以藏南拆离系为底界自北向南大规模逆冲推覆、褶皱,以及新喜马拉雅期高喜马拉雅结晶岩系自北向南挤出导致藏南拆离系主拆离带和洛扎、哲古两条次级构造带上盘地层自南向北伸展的产物。特提斯喜马拉雅前陆断褶带内的锑金多金属矿床在空间上具有明显的分带性,自北向南依次构成沙拉岗—查拉普锑金成矿带、错美—隆子锑铅锌多金属成矿带和拉康—错那银铅锌成矿带,其间分别以绒布—哲古和洛扎两个次级断裂带为界。矿体主要受褶皱翼部近东西向层间破碎带和近南北向构造带控制,成矿类型为浅成低温热液型,成矿时代为新喜马拉雅期。成矿作用与新生代构造演化和新喜马拉雅期岩浆活动关系密切。在新喜马拉雅期高喜马拉雅结晶岩系向南挤出过程中,特提斯喜马拉雅前陆断褶带沿着始喜马拉雅期形成的逆冲推覆构造带发生自南向北伸展,诱发地壳部分熔融,形成的岩浆沿构造带侵位,并促使沿构造带下渗地下水循环对流。当这些循环的地下水与沿构造带上升的岩浆期后含矿热液混合时,成矿流体的物理化学条件发生改变,成矿物质沉淀形成沿褶皱翼部近东西向层间破碎带和近南北向构造带分布的似层状、脉状和透镜状锑金多金属矿床。

藏南特提斯喜马拉雅带中段二叠纪——白垩纪的火山活动(Ⅰ):分布特点及其意义

在野外实地考察和追索的基础上,详细厘定了特提斯喜马拉雅带中段晚古生代以来火山岩的分布特点和迁移规律。结果表明,在特提斯喜马拉雅带中段晚古生代以来的地层系统中,从二叠纪→三叠纪→侏罗纪→白垩纪,共有11个层位含规模不等的火山岩,它们以透镜体、薄夹层或以块状玄武岩、玄武质安山岩等形式产出于不同地层系统中;从二叠纪→早中三叠世→晚三叠世→侏罗纪和白垩纪,具有由西向东、从南→北→南→北的迁移规律。这些火山活动的发现和厘定,对填补特提斯喜马拉雅带火山岩研究的空白,了解陆下岩石圈地幔和软流圈地幔之间的相互作用和新特提斯洋盆的形成演化都具有一定的指示意义。

藏南拿日雍错片麻岩穹窿中新世淡色花岗岩的形成过程:变泥质岩部分熔融与分离结晶作用

拿日雍错片麻岩穹窿位于特提斯喜马拉雅带的东部,穹窿边部淡色花岗岩脉形成于21.8±0.3Ma,穹窿核部主体淡色花岗岩的结晶年龄为20.1±0.1Ma,其中1件样品记录了~17.3Ma热液蚀变事件。大部分淡色花岗岩具有以下特征:(1)较高的Si O2(>72.9%),Al2O3(>14.7%)和A/CNK(>1.1),较低的Fe O、Mg O、Mn O和Ti O2;(2)高度变化的大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Sr、Ba)和高场强元素(如Nb、Ta、Hf、Th)和Rb/Sr、Nb/Ta、Zr/Hf比值;(3)富集轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素,Eu和Nd都显示负异常(Eu/Eu*<0.7,Nd/Nd*=0.5~0.8);(4)Sr同位素比值变化范围较大(87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.7132~0.7330),但Nd同位素比值一致(εNd(t)=-12.4^-10.9)。这些特征表明:拿日雍错淡色花岗岩形成于20Ma,是变泥质岩部分熔融作用的产物,经历了不同程度的斜长石、锆石、独居石、磷灰石、富Ti矿物等的分离结晶作用。

喜马拉雅造山带变泥质岩系及其地球化学特征

高喜马拉雅结晶岩系和北喜马拉雅穹隆都发育高角闪岩相—麻粒岩相变泥质岩,岩石组合以富铝质片麻岩类为主,伴生钾质花岗片麻岩、大理岩及基性麻粒岩等。元素地球化学特征表明,其原岩主要为较富铝的长石质砂岩和石英岩质砂岩及少量粘土岩,形成于大陆边缘浅海相沉积环境。这些变泥质岩具有相似的微量元素和稀土元素地球化学特征,表现为大离子亲石元素相对高场强元素较富集,轻稀土较重稀土富集,稀土总量较高,具有较显著的 Eu 负异常。在变质矿物组合、元素地球化学特征及锆石组成等特征上,它们与青藏高原北缘的康西瓦和阿尔金孔兹岩系相似,可能是来源于冈瓦纳大陆边缘的同一套岩石。

藏东南措美大火成岩省中OIB型镁铁质岩的全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素

西藏南东部新识别出来的措美大火成岩省的地幔柱头部物质成分尚未得到很好的约束。为探讨此问题,在全岩地球化学数据基础上,本文首次报道了藏东南措美大火成岩省中机布淌、打隆、措美和哲古错OIB型镁铁质岩的锆石Hf同位素和微量元素数据。本文报道的OIB型镁铁质岩包括碱性(组Ⅰ)和亚碱性(组Ⅱ)系列的辉长岩和辉绿岩,以岩墙或岩床的形式产出。这些镁铁质岩具有高的TiO2(2.61%～4.07%)和P2O5(0.32%～0.51%)含量,富集轻稀土元素和高场强元素,地球化学特征类似于OIB。全岩微量元素地球化学指标显示组Ⅰ样品没有或很少受到地壳混染,组Ⅱ样品经历了较高程度的地壳混染。组Ⅰ中一件样品(JBT03-1)具有变化范围大的锆石εHf(t)值(-4.8～+5.3),可能暗示其受到了地壳和/或岩石圈地幔物质的混染。本文结果表明锆石Hf同位素比全岩地球化学数据能够更为有效地识别基性岩浆是否受到地壳和/或岩石圈地幔物质混染。措美大火成岩省中的OIB型镁铁质岩样品(组Ⅰ和组Ⅱ),具有不同于俯冲带镁铁质岩和洋壳镁铁质岩的锆石稀土元素配分型式和锆石Ti温度,这可能是岩浆源区温度和成分不同的结果。综合考虑全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素指标,本文提出未受到地壳或岩石圈地幔混染的打隆镇辉长岩体(以组I中的DL01样品为代表)很可能代表了措美大火成岩省纯的地幔柱头部物质成分[87Sr/86Sr(t)=0.7047,εNd(t)=+1.5,εHf(t)=+2.1～+5.7]。这些成分与代表白垩纪Kerguelen地幔柱头部物质的Site1138和Bunbury Casuarina玄武岩非常相似,可能指示措美大火成岩省中的OIB型镁铁质岩本身就是Kerguelen地幔柱头部物质发生减压熔融的产物。
