文章名称:Protoliths and tectonic implications of the newly discovered Triassic Baqing eclogites, central Tibet: Evidence from geochemistry, Sr-Nd isotopes and geochronology

文章摘要:Geochemical, Sr\Nd isotopic and geochronological methods were used to reveal the protoliths and geodynamic implications of the newly discovered Triassic Baqing eclogites, eastern Qiangtang terrane, central Tibet. We assessed the mobility of trace elements, and it turned out that high field strength elements (HFSEs) and rare earth elements (REEs) were immobile in the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic process and reliably employed to discriminate the protoliths of the Baqing eclogites. Whole-rock geochemical data (especially immobile ele- ments) suggested both arc-related (negative Nb\Ta anomalies, high light (L) REEs/heavy (H) REEs ratios) and mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB)-related (without negative Nb\Ta anomalies, relatively low REEs contents) characteristics, indicating the contribution of different proportions of subduction material with a backarc basin origin. According to the Sr\Nd isotopic ratios (initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios: 0.7078–0.7086; εNd(t) values: −0.58 to +1.96), the protoliths of the Baqing eclogites originated from mantle which experienced continental crustal con- tamination in the subduction zone. Compared with nearby subduction-related magmatic rocks from eastern Qiangtang terrane, backarc basin was the most likely tectonic environment for the Baqing eclogite protoliths. The Jinsha Paleo-Tethyan Ocean southward subduction underneath East Qiangtang block (EQB) and rollback led to the formation of this backarc basin between the Late Permian and Early Triassic, and subsequent northward subduction of the backarc basin formed the Baqing eclogites in early Late Triassic (227–221 Ma).
