Subducted slabs, which include altered-oceanic crust and overlying sediments, impart geochemical redox fingerprints to arc magmas affect long-term evolution of the deep mantle. Yet, oxygen fugacity subducting slab remains poorly constrained. Light Rare Earth Element (LREE) chalcophile element (ChE) ratios may serve as proxies for downgoing slabs because difference in compatibility these groups ...

The volcanic rocks in Semporna Peninsula, Sabah, Malaysia forms parts of the Miocene subjected slab during Miocene-Pliocene orogeny. This study presents new petrographic and geochemical data area. range composition from basaltic andesite, dacite to rhyolite, with most shows calc-alkaline affinity a minor tholeiitic feature. trace elements enrichment large-ion lithophile (LILE) light rare earth ...

We investigated hellandite-group mineral phases from the Roman Region, alkali syenite ejecta, by multimethod analyses. They show a complex crystallisation history including co-precipitation of hellandite-(Ce) with brockite, resorption, sub-solidus substitution mottanaite-(Ce), exsolution perthite-like ferri-mottanaite-(Ce), overgrowth an oscillatory-zoned euhedral shell ferri-mottanaite-(Ce) an...

We have collected 500 stream waters and associated bed-load sediments over an 400 km region of Eastern Canada and analyzed these samples for Fe, Mn, and the rare earth elements (REE + Y). In addition to analyzing the stream sediments by total digestion (multi-acid dissolution with metaborate fusion), we also leached the sediments with 0.25 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride (in 0.05 M HCl), to deter...

New geochemical data were presented for the mafic (basalts and gabbros) ultramafic (dunites, serpentinites pyroxenites) rocks from Mawat ophiolite exposed in Zagros suture zone northeastern Iraq. The mantle section of is composed serpentinized peridotites, harzburgites, dunites, chromitites pyroxenite dykes. crustal layered amphibole-rich gabbros, pegmatitic gabbros as well basalts minor felsic...

Abstract The lithospheric mantle as sampled by peridotite xenoliths in some continental settings resembles the source of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). Whether this resemblance is a primary feature or result post-formation secondary processes remains controversial. Here, age, origin and thermochemical evolution fertile are constrained based on chemical composition minerals spinel-facies lherzo...

Article history: Received 29 March 2017 Accepted 27 July 2017 Available online 04 August 2017 Subduction and collision are the key processes triggering geochemical refertilization of the lithospheric mantle beneath cratons. However, the way that the subducted plate influences the cratonic lithospheric mantle remains unclear. Here, in-situ major and trace-element and Sr isotopic compositions of ...
