Most of the xenoliths entrained by the Cenzoic basalts have de pleted Sr and Nd isotopie composition. Interestingly evidences have been found for old ehriehed lithosphere mantle beneath thick Arehaean and post-Arehaean erust (＞35 km ) and for relatively homogeneous and depleted lithosphere mantle bencath thin erust (＜ 35 km ). Furthermore the chemieal composition of the lithosphere mantle is overall fertile regardless of the age of the overlying erust. The spatial variability in ehemieal and Sr and Nd isotopie eompositions of the ultramafie xenoliths in relation to the lithospherie ages and geometry implies a mixture strueture of the lithosphere mantle beheath easiern China. which consists of recently aecreted asthenospherie diapirs and old modified remnants. Isotopie eomposition of the Cenozoie basalts show obvious similarities with ocein island basalt (OIH ). We argue that enriehed lithosphere mantle delamineted during Mesozoic-Cenozoie tectonie-thermal events was generally involved in the Cenozoie basaltic voleanism.展开更多
