英文摘要 | The Kerguelen large igneous province (LIP) has been related to mantle plume activity since at least 120 Ma. There are some older (147-130 Ma) magmatic provinces on circum-eastern Gondwana, but the relationship between these provinces and the Kerguelen mantle plume remains controversial. Here we present petrological, geochronological, geochemical, and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb-Os isotopic data for high-Ti mafic rocks from two localities (Cuona and Jiangzi) in the eastern Tethyan Himalaya igneous province (147-130 Ma). Zircon grains from these two localities yielded concordant weighted mean (206)pb/U-238 ages of 137.25 +/- 0.98 Ma and 131.28 +/- 0.78 Ma (2 sigma), respectively. The analyzed mafic rocks are enriched in high field strength elements and have positive Nb-Ta anomalies relative to Th and La, which have ocean island basalt-like characteristics. The Cuona basalts were generated by low degrees of melting (3-5 %) of garnet Iherzolites (3-5 vol% garnet), and elsewhere the Jiangzi diabases were formed by relatively lower degrees of melting (1-3%) of garnet Iherzolite (1-5 vol% garnet). The highly radiogenic Os and Pb isotopic compositions of the Jiangzi diabases were produced by crustal contamination, but the Cuona basalts experienced the least crustal contamination given their relatively low gamma Os(t), (206)pb/(204)pb(i), (207)pb/(204)pb(i), and (208)pb/(204)pb(i) values. Major and trace element geochemical and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb-Os isotope data for the Cuona basalts are similar to those for products of the Kerguelen mantle plume head. Together with high mantle potential temperatures (>1500 degrees C), this suggests that the eastern Tethyan Himalaya igneous province (147-130 Ma) was an early magmatic product of the Kerguelen plume. A mantle plume initiation model can explain the temporal and spatial evolution of the Kerguelen LIP, and precontinental breakup played a role in the breakup of eastern Gondwana, given the >10 Myr between initial mantle plume activity (147-130 Ma) and continental breakup (132-130 Ma). Like studies of Re-Os isotopes in other LIPs, the increasing amount of crustal assimilation with distance from the plume stem can explain the variations in radiogenic Os. |
