The rocks belong to the sub-alkaline series and consist of pyroxene （35%-40%）, plagioclase （40% -45%）, olivine （8%-10%） and spinel （3%-5%）. Olivine has Fo values of 73-83 that is classified as chrysolite. Pyroxene has relative low contents of FeO （6.60 wt.%-8.23 wt.%） but high CaO （20.23 wt.%-21.25 wt.%） contents, however, plagioclase has high A1203 （31.78 wt.%o-32.37 wt.%）, CaO （16.08 wt.%-16.25 wt.%） and An （79-80） values, but low Na20 contents （1.95 wt.%-2.11 wt.%）. Spinel are magnesioferrite with characteristics of high contents of MgO （13.65 wt.%- 13.68 wt.%）, FeO （23.27 wt.%-23.40 wt.%） and A1203 （62.43 wt.%-62.74 wt.%）. Chemical compositions of these minerals are similar to those of gabbro rocks that were formed in the post-orogeny environment. The olivine-gabbro samples have negative zircon eHf values （-16.57±0.47） that resemble the mafic rocks in the same region, indicating that they are derived from the extremely enriched mantle source. On the compilation of documented Neoproterozoic mafic rocks in the Yangtze Craton, it is proposed that the mantle in the northern Yangtze Craton has experienced different degrees enrichment during the Neoproterozoic.展开更多
