This work used zircon U-Pb age data, bulk rock major and trace elements, Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data to assess mantle source characteristics and crustal assimilation of the parental magma of the Sidingheishan intrusion. We have also discussed the tectonic evolution of the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic belt in the Late Paleozoic.展开更多
Objective During the Permian, at least four mafic continental large igneous provinces （LIPs） were tbrmed in eastern Asia, i.e., the Siberian traps （-251 Ma）, Emeishan LIP （-260 Ma）, Tarim LIP （-290-270 Ma） an...Objective During the Permian, at least four mafic continental large igneous provinces （LIPs） were tbrmed in eastern Asia, i.e., the Siberian traps （-251 Ma）, Emeishan LIP （-260 Ma）, Tarim LIP （-290-270 Ma） and Panjal traps （-290 Ma） （Shellnutt et al., 2015）. The Emeishan and Tarim LIPs in China are both known for the presence of several magmatic Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits hosted in layered mafic- ultramafic intrusions. The origin of such magmatic Fe-Ti- V oxide deposits is enigmatic. One of the long-lasting debates is the mechanism by which large amounts of Fe-Ti oxides accumulated in the layered intrusions. Regardless of mechanism, there is still considerable debate regarding the mantle source compositions of the Fe-Ti-V oxide ore- bearing intrusions, in the Tarim LIP, a giant Fe-Ti-V oxide deposit is hosted by the Piqiang layered intrusion at the northern margin of the Tarim block. This intrusion consists mainly of gabbro and minor plagioclase-bearing clinopyroxenite and anorthosite （Fig. l a）. For this study we present new SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age and whole-rock geochemical data for the Piqiang layered gabbroic intrusion to evaluate the nature of its possible source compositions, which in turn aids in understanding the formation of the giant Fe-Ti-V oxide deposit in the plume- related LIPs.展开更多
