The Bayingou ophiolitic melange provide a critical geological record for unraveling regional tectonic histor） and testing different tectonic models. However, previous studies were mainly concentrated on geochronology, rock combination, structural feature and geochemistry ol ophiolite, with little attention to oceanic island basalts in the Bayingou ophiolitic melange. Therefore, in this study, we focus on pillow basalts from ophiolitic melange.展开更多
