摘要
Three episodes of mafic magmatism are identified by zircon and baddeleyite U-Pb dating at 2299 +/- 17 Ma, 1703 +/- 8 Ma and 1511 +/- 14 Ma in the southwestern Yangtze Block. These mafic rocks have tholeiitic compositions with enrichment of LILE but an absence of Nb, To, Zr, Hf anomalies, features similar to E-MORB. They have La/Ta (< 22) and La/Nb (< 1.5) ratios similar to asthenosphere-derived mafic melts. The ca. 2.3 Ga, ca. 1.7 Ga and ca. 1.5 Ga mafic rocks have epsilon(Nd) (t) values of +0.2 to +4.3, -2.8 to +2.8 and +0.7 to +5.8, respectively. Furthermore, the ca. 2.3 Ga and ca. 1.7 Ga mafic rocks have epsilon(Nd) (t) values varying from -3.6 to +0.8 and +0.1 to +9.2. All these geochemical and isotopic data indicate that the studied mafic rocks may be dominantly sourced from asthenospheric mantle. Thermodynamic modeling indicates that the mantle potential temperatures for the studied ca. 2.3 Ga and ca. 1.7 Ga dolerites are 1447 degrees C - 1568 degrees C, 1511 degrees C - 1529 degrees C, suggesting relatively hot mantle below the south-western Yangtze Block at ca. 2.3 Ga and ca. 1.7 Ga. REE modeling indicates the ca. 2.3 Ga and ca. 1.5 Ga dolerites were generated by low degree melting (3-15%) of mantle source, while the ca. 1.7 Ga gabbros were derived from variable degree melting (similar to 5-20%) of mantle source. Fractionation of olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase contributes to changing the chemical compositions of the primary magma, while crustal contamination was relatively insignificant. These three episodes of mafic magmatism were generated in extensional setting. The ca. 2.3 Ga dolerite represents the oldest mafic magmatism identified in the southwestern Yangtze Block by far, documenting the dispersion of the Yangtze Block from the Nunavutia supercraton. Comparing the younger magmatic barcode records for various crustal blocks shows that the mafic magmatism at ca. 1.75-1.65 Ga in the Yangtze Block, has matches in northwestern Laurentia and southern Siberia. This period of extensive magmatism was presumably linked to the early attempted breakup of the Columbia/Nuna supercontinent, indicating tight linkage among these continents in that supercontinent.
