英文摘要 | The Bangong-Nujiang suture zone (BNSZ) is the remnants of the Meso-Tethyan main oceanic basin in the Tibetan plateau. It is noted that several microcontinents, e.g., Amdo and Jiayuqiao, occur within the Meso-Tethyan ocean basin. These microcontinents were strongly reworked associated with the subduction and closure of this ancient ocean, thus they play a key role in understanding the evolution of this ocean. In this contribution, we report newly documented Early Jurassic gabbros (ca. 182-175 Ma) from the Amdo microcontinent in the middle segment of the BNSZ. The gabbros can be subdivided into two groups, i.e., OIB (ocean island basalt) and MORB (mid-ocean ridge basalt) groups. The OIB-group gabbros are characterized by highly enriched Nd-Hf isotopic characteristics (zircon eHf(t) = 11.7 to 8.9; whole-rock eNd(t) = 11.0 to 10.1). They are geochemically similar to OIB and are interpreted to be products of the partial melting of a relatively deep mantle source (> 85 km) and subsequent continental crustal inputting. The MORB-group gabbros belong to the tholeiitic series and have similar compositions to those of MORB. They were most likely derived from a depleted mantle source (zircon eHf(t) = +3.7 to +16.5; whole-rock eNd(t) = +4.9 to +8.1) in a relatively shallow depth (< 85 km). Integrating previous studies with the data presented in this contribution, we suggest that the generation of coeval OIB- and MORB-like gabbros are related to lithospheric delamination after the Qiangtang-Amdo collision and the closure of the Bangong-Nujiang ocean basin. This result will give new constraint on the evolution of the MesoTethyan Ocean. |
