- Abstract
The North China Craton (NCC) has been considered to be part of the supercontinent Columbia. The nature of the NCC western boundary, however, remains strongly disputed. A key question in this regard is whether or not the Alxa Block is a part of the NCC. It is located in the vicinity of the inferred boundary, and therefore could potentially resolve the issue of the NCC's relationship to the Columbia supercontinent. Some previous studies based on the Alxa Block's geological evolution and detrital zircon ages suggested that it is likely not a part of the NCC. The lack of evidence from key igneous rock units, however, requires further constraints on the tectonic affinity of the western NCC and Alxa Block and on the timing of their amalgamation.The North China Craton (NCC) has been considered to be part of the supercontinent Columbia.

- Abstract
There is considerable controversy over the nature of geophysically recognized low-velocity-high-conductivity zones (LV-HCZs) within the Tibetan crust, and their role in models for the development of the Tibetan Plateau. Here we report petrological and geochemical data on magmas erupted 4.7-0.3 Myr ago in central and northern Tibet, demonstrating that they were generated by partial melting of crustal rocks at temperatures of 700-1,050°C and pressures of 0.5-1.5 GPa. Thus Pliocene-Quaternary melting of crustal rocks occurred at depths of 15-50 km in areas where the LV-HCZs have been recognized. This provides new petrological evidence that the LV-HCZs are sources of partial melt. It is inferred that crustal melting played a key role in triggering crustal weakening and outward crustal flow in the expansion of the Tibetan Plateau.

- Abstract
In general, the mantle provides heat and/or material for the generation of the silicic igneous provinces (SIPs). The rarity of mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), however, hampers understanding of the mantle's role in generating SIPs and the process of crust–mantle interaction. The widespread distributed MMEs in the newly reported Alxa SIP provide an opportunity to study these processes. This study integrates in situ zircon U–Pb age and Hf–O isotope analyses, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotope results for the MMEs and host granitoids in the Alxa Block. SIMS zircon U–Pb dating reveals that there are two generations of MMEs and host granitoids. The MMEs in the Bayannuoergong batholith were formed at ca. 278 Ma, similar to the age (280 Ma) of host granitoids, and the MMEs and host granitoids in the Yamaitu pluton were formed at ca. 272–270 Ma. All MMEs have relatively low SiO2 (50.7–61.4 wt.%) and Th (0.8–2.8 ppm), but relatively high MgO (2.6–4.9 wt.%), Cr (23–146 ppm) and Ni (6–38 ppm) contents compared to the host granitoids, with SiO2 (63.6–77.5 wt.%), Th (5.2–41 ppm), MgO (0.23–2.1 wt.%), Cr (10–38 ppm) and Ni (5–14 ppm). All MMEs have whole rock Sr–Nd and zircon Hf–O isotope compositions similar to their corresponding host granitoids.The 280 Ma MMEs have lower whole rock εNd(t) (− 13.5) and higher initial 87Sr/86Sr values (0.7095) and zircon δ18O values (6.3‰) compared to the εNd(t) (− 11.5), initial 87Sr/86Sr values (0.7070) and zircon δ18O values (5.6‰) of the 270 Ma MMEs. The occurrences of quartz xenocrysts, K-feldspar megacrysts, corroded feldspars and acicular apatites indicate that the MMEs are the products of the mixing between mantle- and crust-derived magmas. The striking similarities in the zircon Hf–O isotopic compositions in both MME–host granitoid pairs indicate that the granitoids and MMEs have similar sources. The granitoids are proposed to be mainly sourced from magmas generated by remelting of newly formed mafic rocks, which were generat

- Abstract
Geophysical data illustrate that the Indian continental lithosphere has northward subducted beneath the Tibet Plateau, reaching the Bangong–Nujiang suture in central Tibet. However, when the Indian continental lithosphere started to subduct, and whether the Indian continental crust has injected into the mantle beneath southern Lhasa block, are not clear. Here we report new results from the Quguosha gabbros of southern Lhasa block, southern Tibet. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating of two samples gives a ca. 35 Ma formation age (i.e., the latest Eocene) for the Quguosha gabbros. The Quguosha gabbro samples are geochemically characterized by variable SiO2 and MgO contents, strongly negative Nb–Ta–Ti and slightly negative Eu anomalies, and uniform initial 87Sr/86Sr (0.7056–0.7058) and εNd(t) (− 2.2 to − 3.6). They exhibit Sr–Nd isotopic compositions different from those of the Jurassic–Eocene magmatic rocks with depleted Sr–Nd isotopic characteristics, but somewhat similar to those of Oligocene–Miocene K-rich magmatic rocks with enriched Sr–Nd isotopic characteristics. We therefore propose that an enriched Indian crustal component was added into the lithospheric mantle beneath southern Lhasa by continental subduction at least prior to the latest Eocene (ca. 35 Ma). We interpret the Quguosha mafic magmas to have been generated by partial melting of lithospheric mantle metasomatized by subducted continental sediments, which entered continental subduction channel(s) and then probably accreted or underplated into the overlying mantle during the northward subduction of the Indian continent. Continental subduction likely played a key role in the formation of the Tibetan plateau at an earlier date than previously thought.

- Abstract
S-type granites, typically derived from the rapid recycling of sedimentary rocks, are sometimes accompanied by contemporary mafic magmatism and granulite metamorphism. However, the geodynamic context for such rock suites is often highly disputed, with various model proposed, including back-arc basin opening, lithospheric delamination, mantle plume and continental rifting. The Paleoproterozoic Khondalite Belt in the North China Craton provides an example of synchronous mafic and felsic magmatism that was accompanied by granulite-facies metamorphic events for which the tectonic affinities of these rocks remains unclear. This study integrates in situ zircon Hf–O isotope analyses, whole-rock geochemistry and Nd isotope results for the earliest two-mica granites (ca. 1.95 Ga) in order to provide constraints on the above issues. The granites are strongly peraluminous (A/CNK value >1.1), and characterized by high zircon δ18O values of 7.3–10.6‰, corresponding to calculated magmatic δ18O values of 9.1–12.3‰, similar to those of typical S-type granites. They have relatively high and homogeneous ɛNd(t) values of −1.1 to +0.9 and highly variable zircon ɛHf(t) values ranging from −1.0 to +8.3. In situ zircon Hf–O isotopic compositions indicate that the S-type granites may contain some mantle or juvenile crustal components in addition to a sediment component. Based on the new results and published data, a slab break-off model is proposed to explain the rapid recycling of sedimentary precursors and the generation of the ca. 1.95 Ga S-type granites.

- Abstract
Little is known about the detailed processes associated with the transition from oceanic to continental lithosphere subduction in the Gangdese Belt of southern Tibet (GBST). Here, we report zircon U–Pb age, major and trace element and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data for Late Cretaceous–Early Oligocene (~ 91–30 Ma) intermediate-acid intrusive rocks in the Chanang–Zedong area immediately north of the Yarlung–Tsangpo suture zone. These rocks represent five magmatic episodes at ~ 91, ~ 77, ~ 62, ~ 48, and ~ 30 Ma, respectively. The 91–48 Ma rocks have slightly lower initial 87Sr/86Sr (0.7037 to 0.7047), and higher εNd(t) (+ 1.8 to + 4.3) and εHf(t) (+ 3.5 to + 14.7) values in comparison with those (0.7057 to 0.7062, − 3.3 to − 2.5 and + 2.2 to + 6.6) of the ~ 30 Ma intrusive rocks. The ~ 91, ~ 62 and ~ 30 Ma rocks are geochemically similar to slab-derived adakites. The ~ 91 Ma Somka adakitic granodiorites were likely derived by partial melting of the subducting Neo-Tethyan oceanic crust with minor oceanic sediments, and the ~ 91 Ma Somka dioritic rocks with a geochemical affinity of adakitic magnesian andesites likely resulted from interactions between adakitic magmas and overlying mantle wedge peridotite. The ~ 77 Ma Luomu diorites were probably generated by partial melting of juvenile basaltic lower crust. The ~ 62 Ma Naika and Zedong adakitic diorites and granodiorites were likely generated mainly by partial melting of thickened juvenile mafic lower crust but the source region of the Zedong adakitic rocks also contained enriched components corresponding to Indian continental crust. The ~ 48 Ma Lamda granites were possibly generated by melting of a juvenile basaltic crust. The younger (~ 30 Ma) Chongmuda adakitic quartz monzonites and minor granodiorites were most probably derived by partial melting of Early Oligocene northward-subducted Indian lower crust beneath the southern Lhasa Block. Taking into account the regional tectonic and magmatic data, we suggest that the Gangdes

- Abstract
Cenozoic adakitic rocks in the Lhasa block (southern Tibet) have been widely used to trace the lateral extent of crustal thickening. However, their petrogenesis remains controversial. Here, we report geochronological and geochemical data for the Napuri intrusive rocks in the core area of the Quxu batholith, southern Lhasa. Zircon U–Pb dating suggests that they were generated at approximately 48 Ma. The studied samples show significant geochemical variations, manifested by the coexistence of three types of igneous rocks. Groups I and II rocks exhibit variable and high SiO2 (66.4–73.9 wt.%), high Al2O3 (14.0–17.4 wt.%), K2O (3.9–5.3 wt.%), Sr (273–718 ppm) and Sr/Y (18.3 to 81.3) values, and low Y (3.6 to 16 ppm), heavy rare earth element (REE) (e.g., Yb = 0.48 to 1.8 ppm), MgO (0.4–1.0 wt.%), Cr (2.9–7.4 ppm) and Ni (1.6–4.5 ppm) contents, which are similar to those of thickened lower crust-derived adakitic rocks. The Group I rocks show higher Sr/Y (77.5–81.3) ratios and lower total REE (55.5–63.2 ppm) contents with clearly positive Eu and Sr anomalies, whereas the Group II rocks have relatively lower Sr/Y (18.3–65.7) ratios and higher total REE (115–375 ppm) contents with negligible or slightly negative Eu and Sr anomalies. Group III rocks have the highest SiO2 (74.5–76.0 wt.%), Y (17.0–23.7 ppm) and Yb (2.91–3.30 ppm) contents, and the lowest Al2O3 (12.5–13.2 wt.%), Sr (81.3–141 ppm) and Sr/Y (4.8–5.9) values with distinctly negative Eu and Sr anomalies. Compared with the Jurassic–Cretaceous granitoids in southern Lhasa, the relative enrichment in Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions ((87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7049–0.7055, εNd(t) = − 0.3 ± 0.7 and εHf(t)zircon = + 3.6 ± 11.4) for the Napuri intrusive rocks indicates that they likely contained Indian continental components. The Group I and Group II rocks most probably originated from thickened mafic lower crust (amphibolite eclogites or garnet amphibolites) with garnet + rutile ± plagioclase as residual minerals in the source at >

- Abstract
At more than 500 km in length, the mainly Jurassic–Early Eocene Gangdese batholith is one of the most important constituents of the southern Lhasa sub-block and provides an ideal site for study of Tibetan orogenesis. Recent studies on Gangdese intermediate-felsic intrusive rocks, mainly granites, demonstrate that remarkable crustal growth as well as an early Late Cretaceous (ca. 100–80 Ma) magmatic “flare-up” event occurred in southern Tibet. However, the mechanism that drove this magmatic event and its relationship to crustal growth event are not yet clear. Here, we report detailed petrological, geochronological, geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data for recently identified norites and hypersthene-bearing hornblendites in the Milin area, southern Lhasa sub-block. These mafic rocks are dated at early Late Cretaceous (ca. 93 Ma), and are characterized by relatively uniform Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions ((87Sr/86Sr)I = 0.7042 to 0.7047, ((87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7042 to 0.7047, εNd(t) = + 2.9 to + 3.6 and εHf(t)zircon = + 10.9 to + 17.0), suggesting that they evolved from similar parental magmas.The Milin norites and hornblendites are likely to be the products of mineral fractionation and accumulation from a common parental magma during the early and late stages of the magma evolution, respectively. Thermometric calculations indicate that pyroxenes from the Milin norites have high crystallization temperatures (1240–1349 °C). The parental magmatic compositions calculated from pyroxene trace element compositions in the Milin norites show slightly flat to enriched light rare earth element (LREE) patterns ([La/Yb]N = 2.9–3.4; [La/Gd]N = 2.1–2.9) with variable negative Nb anomalies ([Nb/La]N = 0.18–0.81), indicating their dual or hybrid geochemical characteristics. We suggest that their parental magmas may have been generated by the interaction of upwelling asthenospheric and metasomatized lithospheric mantle. Taking into account the spatial and temporal distribution of the Meso

- Abstract
Rapid Mesozoic–Early Cenozoic crustal growth in the Gangdese area, southern Tibet, has commonly been, attributed to pre-collisional and syn-collisional underplating of mantle-derived magmas. Here, we report on, adakitic magnesian charnockites (i.e., hypersthene-bearing diorites and granodiorites) near Milin, in eastern, Gangdese, that provide new insights into the crustal growth process of the region. Zircon U–Pb analyses of' seven charnockite samples indicate that they were generated in the Late Cretaceous (100–89 Ma). They exhibit variable SiO2 (53.9 to 65.7 wt.%) contents, high Na2O/K2O (1.6 to 14.4) and Sr/Y (27.2 to 138.7) ratios, low Y (6.5 to 18.5 ppm), heavy rare earth element (e.g., Yb = 0.6 to 1.6 ppm) and Th (0.20–2.39 ppm) contents and Th/La (0.02–0.23) ratios, with relatively high Mg# (46 to 56) and MgO (2.0 to 4.5 wt.%) values. They are characterized isotopically by high and slightly variable εNd(t) (+ 2.4 to + 4.0) and εHf(t) (+ 10.1 to + 15.8) values with relatively low and consistent (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7042 to 0.7043) ratios.Their pyroxenes have high crystallization temperatures (876 to 949 °C). The Milin charnockites were most probably produced by partial melting of subducted Neo-Tethyan oceanic crust that was followed by adakitic melt–mantle interaction, minor crustal assimilation and fractional crystallization of amphibole + plagioclase. The upwelling asthenosphere, triggered by the roll-back of subducted Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere, provided the heat for slab melting. Therefore, we suggest that, in addition to pre-collisional and syn-collisional underplating of mantle-derived magmas, the recycling of subducted oceanic crust has also played an important role in continental crustal growth in southern Tibet.

- Abstract
One of the major geophysical discoveries concerning the Tibetan Plateau is the existence of unusually weak layers in the mid- to lower crust, a characteristic widely interpreted as the result of crustal melting. This interpretation, however, remains highly contentious, particularly when applied to northern Tibet where crustally derived magmatic rocks are scarce. Here we report the finding of tourmaline-bearing mica and biotite rhyolites in the Bukadaban-Malanshan area, southern Kunlun Range, near the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Zircon U-Pb and whole-rock or mineral 40Ar-39Ar analyses suggest that these rocks erupted between 9.0 and 1.5 Ma. These rocks are geochemically similar to Himalayan leucogranites (interpreted as crustal melts), with strongly peraluminous compositions, high SiO2 contents (69.0-76.0 wt %), and clear negative Eu, Ba and Sr anomalies. They have low εNd (-5.8 to -8.6) and high 87Sr/86Sr (0.7125-0.7178), 206Pb/204Pb (18.59-18.70), 207Pb/204Pb (15.49-15.63) and 208Pb/204Pb (38.31-38.74) isotopic compositions as well as magmatic zircon εHf (-0.7 to -5.0) compositions similar to those of global marine sediments and Proterozoic-Triassic sedimentary rocks in northern Tibet. We suggest that the Bukadaban-Malanshan rhyolites were generated by dehydration melting of metasedimentary rocks at 0.5-1.2GPa and 740-863°C. Our data not only confirm the occurrence of a partially molten zone in the mid- to lower crust beneath northern Tibet but also constrain the crustal melting to have existed from middle Miocene to Quaternary times. Adopting the crustal flow model, we further argue the importance of outward flowing of the melt-weakened crust in the formation of crustal inflation, surface uplift, and earthquakes along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau.

- Abstract
We report results of petrologic, geochronological and geochemical investigation of the Late Carboniferous diorites, granodiorites, amphibole (Am)-bearing granites, and associated dioritic and monzonitic enclaves and mafic and granitic dikes in the Keramay area, of the western Junggar region of Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Zircon U–Pb dating suggests that they were generated in the Late Carboniferous (316–304 Ma). The diorite and granodiorite compositions extend over a wide range of SiO2 (53–70 wt.%), Sr (240–602 ppm), and Mg# (41–58) values, and are characterized by moderately fractionated rare earth element (REE) patterns, Nb–Ta depletion and relatively low Y and Yb contents. The mafic dikes consist of dolerites, diorite porphyries and minor granodiorite porphyries, and have variable SiO2 (51–59 wt.%) and high Mg#, Cr and Ni values. With the exception of two samples with relatively high heavy REE (HREE) contents, the mafic dikes exhibit trace element characteristics similar to diorites and granodiorites. The Am-bearing granites and a granite porphyry dike sample have high levels of SiO2 (73–77 wt.%), HREEs (e.g., Yb=3.46–15.7 ppm) and low Mg#, Cr and Ni contents, along with clearly negative Eu, Ba and Sr anomalies, similar to typical A-type granites. All granitoids, enclaves and dikes in this region have high positive εd(t) (+7.13 to +9.74) and zircon εHf(t) (+10 to +16) values and moderate initial 87Sr/87Sr ratios (0.7004–0.7049).Mineral composition data suggest that the parental magmas for mafic dikes are similar to Cenozoic sanukitoids in the Setouchi arc area (Japan) and were possibly generated under water-rich and high oxygen fugacity (NNO+1.5 to NNO+2.7) conditions. They most likely originated from partial melting of a mantle source variably modified by subducted oceanic crust-derived melts and minor fluids and subsequently underwent fractional crystallization. The diorites and granodiorites were possibly generated by magma mixing between enriched lith

- Abstract
The juvenile component of accretionary orogenic belts has been declining since the Archean. As a result, there is often controversy regarding the contribution of oceanic basalts to Phanerozoic crustal growth, as in the case of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Here we report on three groups of Late Carboniferous (316–305 Ma) granitoids in the western Junggar region of northern Xinjiang, NW China, which is part of the southwestern CAOB. They consist of adakites and I and A-type granites, and as a whole have the most depleted isotopic compositions (εNd(t)=+6–+9, (87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7030–0.7045, and εHf(t)=+12–+16) among the granitoids of the CAOB. These features are nearly identical to those of pre-Permian ophiolites in northern Xinjiang, and are clearly different from those of Carboniferous basalts in the western Junggar region. These relationships indicate that the granitoids were mainly derived from recycled oceanic crust by melting of subducted oceanic crust (e.g., adakites), and of the middle–lower crust of intra-oceanic arc that mainly consisted of oceanic crust (e.g., I and A-type granites). Based on evidence from the CAOB, we suggest that recycling of oceanic crust has made a significant contribution to continental crustal growth and evolution during the Phanerozoic.

- Abstract
This paper reports on a rare magmatic suite of adakitic rocks and associated magnesian and potassium-rich magmatic enclaves and dikes, which occur in the Tunchang–Fengmu area, Hainan Island (Southeast China). LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb age data show that they were generated in the late Early Cretaceous (~107 Ma). The adakitic rocks, consisting mainly of granodiorites and biotite granites, are high-K calcalkaline and have low Mg# values (0.27–0.50). They are geochemically similar to slab-derived adakites, e.g., with high SiO2, Al2O3, Sr, Sr/Y and La/Yb values, low Y and Yb contents, and negligible Eu and positive Sr anomalies. They also have relatively uniform (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7086–0.7096), (206Pb/204Pb)i (18.50–18.61), (207Pb/204Pb)i (15.56–15.64) and (208Pb/204Pb)i (38.17–38.44) isotope ratios, with slightly variable εNd(t) (-3.85 to -6.55) and zircon in situ εHf(t) (-4.7 to +1.7) values. The mafic enclaves and dikes display disequilibrium textures (e.g., multiple-zoned clinopyroxene with low-MgO rims in contact with perthite and quartz microcrystals). They are high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic, and all but one sample have high Mg# (0.63–0.72) values. These mafic rocks are characterized by light rare earth element enrichment and heavy rare earth element (REE) depletion, negligible Eu and Sr and positive Pb anomalies, and Nb and Ta depletion. They have slightly more variable initial 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios (0.7064–0.7086), εNd(t) (-5.1 to +0.1) values, and (206Pb/204Pb)i (18.35–18.50), (207Pb/204Pb)i (15.45–15.59) and (208Pb/204Pb)i (38.18–38.70) ratios.One mafic dike sample has zircon in situ εHf(t) values (-4.94 to -2.42) similar to those of adakitic rocks (-4.7 to +1.7) in the area. We suggest that the adakitic rocks were most likely generated by partial melting of newly underplated basaltic lower crust with arc-like geochemical characteristics, and the primitive compositions of the mafic enclaves and dikes likely originated from lithospheric + asthenospheric mantl

- Abstract
The Gangdese Belt in southern Tibet (GBST) is a major Cu–Au–Mo mineralization zone that mostly formed after the India–Asia collision in association with the small-volume, though widespread, Miocene(18–10 Ma) adakitic porphyries. Cu–Au mineralization has scarcely been found in the regional Jurassic–Early Tertiary batholiths related to subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic plate. Here, we report petrological, zircon geochronological and geochemical data for Late Cretaceous (90 Ma) intrusive rocks that contain Cu–Au mineralization from the Kelu area in the GBST. These rocks consist of quartz monzonites and diorites. The quartz monzonites, with SiO2 of 58–59 wt.% and Na2O/K2O of 1.1–1.2, are geochemically similar to slab-derived adakites characterized by apparent depletions in heavy rare earth elements (e.g., Yb = 1.4–1.5 ppm) and Y (16–18 ppm) contents, positive Sr but negative Nb and Ti anomalies on multi element variation diagrams. They have relatively low (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7038–0.7039) ratios and high εNd(t) (+3.4 to +3.9) and in situ zircon εHf(t) (+9.3 to +15.8) values.The diorites exhibit high Mg-numbers (0.57–0.61) similar to those of magnesian andesites, and have (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7040–0.7041) and εNd(t) (+3.0 to +4.4) values similar to those of the quartz monzonites. We suggest that the quartz monzonitic magmas were most likely generated by partial melting of the subducted Neo-Tethyan basaltic oceanic crust and minor associated oceanic sediments, with subsequent melt–mantle interaction, and the dioritic magmas were mainly derived by the interaction between slab melts and mantle wedge peridotites, with fractionation of apatite and hornblende. These slab-derived adakitic magmas have high oxygen fugacity that may have facilitated Cu–Au mineralization. The close association of the Late Cretaceous adakitic intrusive rocks and Cu–Au mineralization in the Kelu area suggests that the arc magmatic rocks in the GBST may have higher potential than previously thought for Cu–A

- Abstract
Tholeiites occur in a variety of geological settings, e.g., mid-ocean ridge, back-arc basin, ocean island, island arc and intra-continent, and their geochemical and isotopic characteristics vary according to the corresponding geodynamic environments. Here we investigated the Hatu tholeiitic basalts and basaltic andesites of the western Junggar region, Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). LA-ICPMS zircon U–Pb analyses indicate that the Hatu tholeiites were generated in the Late Carboniferous (~315 Ma). All the studied rock samples are characterized by flat rare earth elements pattern on chondrite-normalized plot, and negligible Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies on mid-ocean-ridge basalt normalized plots. They are also characterized by moderate positive εNd(t) (+5.25 to +5.94), εHf(t) (+13.24 to +14.89), highly radiogenic Os isotope compositions (187Os/188Os315Ma=0.1338–0.3547), and relatively low (87Sr/86Sr)i ratios (0.7044 to 0.7048). Taking into account their geological characteristics, the occurrence of nearby ophiolites and the types of contemporaneous magmatic rocks found in the western Junggar region, we propose that the Hatu basalts were generated by slab window-related processes following a spreading ridge subduction beneath the Keramay intraoceanic island arc.During this process, deep and enriched asthenospheric mantle rose to the edge of the subducted oceanic lithosphere, its melts infiltrating the subducted oceanic lithosphere and reacting with peridotites. Therefore, the Hatu tholeiites are interpreted as a result of melting of a mixed mantle source consisting of subducted depleted oceanic lithosphere and a deep, enriched upwelling asthenospheric mantle. Incongruent dynamic melting modeling of trace element compositions indicates that the Hatu basalts could have been derived from large degrees of melting (~10%) of such a mixed mantle source. This newly recognized mechanism is a natural consequence of the diversity of contemporaneous potential mantle sources availabl

- Abstract
Late Carboniferous igneous rocks are widespread in the western Tianshan, but the tectonic settings for these rocks remain controversial. We report a plagioclase 40Ar/39Ar age, and geochemical, Sr–Nd isotope and LA–ICPMS clinopyroxene trace element data for gabbros in the Luotuogou region. The tholeiitic Luotuogou gabbros give a Late Carboniferous (312 ± 1 Ma) 40Ar/39Ar age and are characterized by high and variable εNd(t) values ranging from + 3.7 to + 7.8. They have geochemical features of both intra-plate and island arc magmatic rocks, i.e., relatively high TiO2 (0.6–2.2 wt.%), Nb (4.2–24 ppm) and Zr (51.4–283 ppm) contents combined with variable and slightly high Nb/La ratios (0.24–1.8, mostly > 0.7), and negative to positive Nb anomalies. The gabbros contain zoned clinopyroxenes, with Mg- and Cr-rich cores. Their parental magmas, as calculated using trace element data from Cr-rich (> 3000 ppm) clinopyroxene cores and clinopyroxene/basaltic liquid partition coefficients, show enrichments in incompatible elements, and prominent negative to slightly positive Nb anomalies, indicative of the influence of subduction-related compositions in their mantle source. These features indicate that the Luotuogou gabbros were most likely formed by interactions between asthenospheric and metasomatized lithospheric mantle. They were most plausibly formed by mixing between the asthenospheric mantle-derived and metasomatized lithosphere mantle-derived melts. Mixing was the result of asthenosphere upwelling triggered by roll-back of the subducted Paleo-Junggar Oceanic Plate rather than mantle plume-related rifting or post-collisional break-off during the Late Carboniferous.

- Abstract
This study reports age, petrologic and geochemical data for andesites and dacites from the Late Triassic sedimentary strata of northern Hohxil, in the Hohxil–Songpan–Ganzi Block (northern Tibet), which constitutes the most voluminous Triassic strata on Earth. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb analysis of dacite (210.4±1.9 Ma) and whole rock 40Ar–39Ar analyses for both the andesites and dacites (211±2 Ma and 210.9±1.6 Ma) show that the rocks were almost contemporaneous. Both rock types are sodium-rich and calc-alkaline. The andesites, characterized by high MgO (up to 10 wt.%) or Mg* (~70), TiO2, Al2O3, Cr, Ni, La/Yb and Th/La, but low Nb/Ta ratios, are geochemically similar to sanukitoids in southeastern Japan. The dacites are strongly peraluminous, and have high Al2O3 and La/Yb, low Y and Yb, coupled with negligible to positive Eu and Sr anomalies, comparable to slab-derived adakites in the circum Pacific arc system. Both rocks exhibit strongly fractionated platinum group element patterns, with Pt/Pt* (Pt anomaly), (Pt/Ir)N and Re/Os ratios higher than those of the primitive mantle. They have uniformly low εNd(t) values (-7.57–-9.59) and high (86Sr/87Sr)i ratios (0.7086–0.7106) that imply a continental rather than oceanic type magma source. We suggest that the northern Hohxil dacites were produced by partial melting of subducted sediments on the northward-subducting Songpan–Ganzi oceanic slab, and the high-Mg andesites were formed by subsequent interaction between the sediment-derived melts and mantle wedge peridotites. Taking into account the Triassic magmatic record from nearby regions, we suggest that the Late Triassic high-Mg andesite/dacite suites of northern Hohxil were generated in a forearc setting, and propose that double-sided subduction eventually closed the Songpan–Ganzi ocean during the Late Triassic.

- Abstract
The use of machine learning via Gaussian processes (GPs) has been investigated to automatically detect marker shale bands in natural gamma logs from the banded iron formation (BIF) of the Marra Mamba sequence of the Hamersley Province (Western Australia). Once shale band boundaries have been located, chemical assays from exploration drill holes are used to find the exact boundaries of interest. These divide the drill hole stratigraphy into regions of different mineralogy, each of which display their own distinct correlations between the main elements and oxides (Fe, SiO2 and Al2O3). Iron ore shows a negative correlation between Fe and Al2O3, but in BIF there is a positive correlation between these species. Similarly, SiO2 and Al2O3 have a positive correlation in the shales and ore but a negative correlation in the BIF. Correlations obtained within ore-, BIF- and shale dominated regions are therefore better than those obtained using the entire log and can be used to improve the results obtained when modelling., The use of machine learning via Gaussian processes (GPs) has been investigated to automatically detect marker shale bands in natural gamma logs from the banded iron formation (BIF) of the Marra Mamba sequence of the Hamersley Province (Western Australia).

- Abstract
Voluminous Late Paleozoic igneous rocks and associated Cu–Au–Mo deposits occur in the northwestern Tianshan district, Xinjiang, west China. However, the tectonic setting and petrogenesis of these rocks remain controversial. This paper reports zircon U–Pb and Hf CUU isotopic data, major and trace elements, and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data for the intrusive rocks and minor dacites in the Lamasu–Dabate area of northwestern Tianshan adjacent to the Cu–Au–Mo deposits. LA-ICPMS U–Pb zircon analyses suggest that the Lamasu porphyries were formed at 366 ± 3 Ma and contain 907–738 Ma inherited zircons, the Dabate dacites were formed at 316 ± 4 Ma, and granite porphyries were formed at 289 ± 3 Ma with ~ 319 Ma inherited zircons. The Lamasu porphyries consist of plagioclase granite and granodiorite, and are geochemically similar to adakites, e.g., having high Al2O3 (14.54–19.75 wt.%) and Sr (308–641 ppm) and low Y (7.84–16.9 ppm) contents, with fractionated rare earth element (REE) patterns and slightly positive Sr anomalies.However, they have variable initial ratios of 87Sr/86Sr (0.7072–0.7076) and 206Pb/204Pb (18.139–18.450), and variable εNd(t) (− 5.6 to − 0.8) and positive εHf(t) (+ 1.4 to + 10.6) values. They also have variable Mg# (100 × Mg2+/(Mg2++ Fe2+)) (41–73) and low Th (3.13–8.09) and Th/Ce (0.14–0.28) values. We suggest that the Lamasu adakitic magmas were generated through partial melting of southward subducted Junggar oceanic crust, with subsequent melt-mantle interaction and assimilation of basement rocks. The Dabate dacites show typical arc-like geochemical characteristics (e.g., enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and strong negative anomalies of Ta, Nb, P and Ti), with variable εNd(t) (+ 0.1 to + 3.3). They were probably generated by melting of juvenile basaltic lower crust as a result of magma underplating.The Dabate granite porphyries are geochemically similar to A2-type granites, e.g., high SiO2 (75.6–77.6 wt.%) and alkalis (Na2O + K2O = 8.27–8.7

- Abstract
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is a natural laboratory for the study of accretionary tectonics and crustal growth owing to its massive generation of juvenile crust in the Paleozoic. There is a debate, however, on the mechanism of this growth. In the Baogutu area of the western Junggar region, northern Xinjiang (west China), diorite–granodiorite porphyry plutons and dikes are widely associated with Cu–Au mineralization. In this study, we present new results of zircon U–Pb geochronology, major and trace elements, and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotope analyses for two diorite–granodiorite porphyry plutons and two dikes from this area. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb analyses of four plutonic and dike samples yield Late Carboniferous ages of 315–310 Ma. The Baogutu diorite–granodiorite porphyries exhibit low-Fe and calc-alkaline compositions.They are also characterized by high Sr (346–841 ppm) contents, low Y (9.18–16.5 ppm) and Yb (0.95–1.60 ppm) contents, and relatively high Sr/Y (31–67) ratios, which are similar to those of typical adakites. In addition, some samples have relatively high MgO (2.35–8.32 wt.%) and Mg# (48–75), and Cr (22.7–291 ppm) and Ni (32.0–132 ppm) values, which are similar to those of high-Mg andesites. All rock samples exhibit mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB)-like Nd–Sr–Pb–Hf isotope features: high εNd(t) (+ 5.8–+8.3) and εHf(t) (+ 13.1–+15.7) values, and relatively low (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7033 to 0.7054) and (206Pb/204Pb)i (17.842–18.055). The Baogutu adakitic rocks also contain reversely zoned clinopyroxene phenocrysts, which have low MgO cores and relatively high MgO rims. Geochemical modeling indicates that the Baogutu adakitic rocks could have been derived by mixing ~ 95% altered oceanic crust-derived melts with ~ 5% sediment-derived melts.Taking into account the regional geology, I- and A-type granitoids and Cu–Au mineralization, and the presence of Carboniferous ophiolite mélanges in northern Xinjiang, we suggest that the Baogutu adakitic rocks were most prob

- Abstract
East–west extension has been a prominent feature of Cenozoic tectonics in central-southern Tibet, and the onset of this extension has been interpreted as indicating the surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau to a critical level. Previous studies suggested that extension started in the Neogene between 18–13 Ma and 8 Ma, based on dating results from north–south trending normal faults, grabens or rifts, and dikes. We report here the discovery of widespread north–south trending diabase and andesitic porphyry dikes in and around the Shuang Hu graben, central Tibet, where crustal extension has previously been argued to start from 13.5 Ma based on mineral ages from graben-bounding faults. Our results show that dikes in this area were mainly formed in the Eocene (47–38 Ma). Geochemical and Nd–Sr isotopic data suggest that the diabase dikes originated from partial melting of an enriched lithospheric mantle source metasomatized by melts from subducted continental crust, and the andesitic porphyry dikes were probably derived from interactions between the subducted continental crust-derived melts and the mantle. Given that north–south trending Eocene dikes are found widely dispersed in central Tibet, we argue that the onset of east–west extension, and likely regional uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, began much earlier than previously thought. Our study implies that a large part of the Tibetan Plateau had already attained near-maximum elevation in the Eocene and is consistent with recent investigations regarding the Middle–Late Eocene (47–34 Ma) initiation of aridification in Asia, evidence from contemporary global oceanic O–Sr isotope curves and temperatures, and the carbon cycle.

- Abstract
There are widespread Neoproterozoic (830–740 Ma) calc-alkaline intrusive rocks in the South China Block, which has been considered a part of the Precambrian supercontinent Rodinia. The tectonic setting of these rocks, however, remains in dispute. Two distinctly different interpretations, continental rift or volcanic arc settings, imply different positions for South China in the Rodinian reconstruction. It is also unclear how such a large-scale magmatic event led to significant crustal growth. This study presents data for ca. 780 Ma A-type granites in the northern Daolinshan area, South China. A relatively early granite mineral assemblage contains katophorite, ferrorichterite, zircon, titaniferous magnetite, ilmenite, fluorapatite, and/or fayalite ± arfvedsonite, and a relatively late mineral assemblage consists of perthite, ferrowinchite, riebeckite ± arfvedsonite, quartz, albite, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, siderite, grunerite and chamosite. Fluorite and calcite occur at all stages. The granites exhibit low Al2O3, Eu, Ba and Sr contents, high Na2O + K2O, Zr + Nb + Ce + Y, 10,000 × Ga/Al and Zr values, and high FeOT/(FeOT + MgO) (0.90–0.95) ratios, which are similar to those of typical A-type granites.They also have high whole rock Nd(t) values (+3.6 to +6.2) and zircon Hf(t) (+6.7 to +17.4). Temperature and oxygen fugacity (fO2) estimates suggest that the northern Daolinshan A-type granitic magmas were generated at high temperature (960–990 °C), low fO2 (on or slightly above the fayalite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) buffer), and F- and CO2-rich but extremely H2O-poor conditions, indicating a rifting rather than arc setting for magma formation. Based on the compositions and geochronological and Hf isotope data of Neoproterozoic and older igneous rocks in the region, we suggest that the northern Daolinshan granites were most probably produced by high-temperature melting of slightly earlier tholeiitic rocks underplated in the lower crust as a result of a 780 Ma high-temper

- Abstract
The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

Attachment between the sister chromatids is required for proper chromosome segregation in meiosis and mitosis, but its molecular basis is not understood. Mutations in the Drosophila ord gene result in premature sister chromatid separation in meiosis, indicating that the product of this gene is necessary for sister chromatid cohesion. We isolated the ord gene and found that it encodes a novel 55 kDa protein. Some of the ord mutations exhibit unusual complementation properties, termed negative complementation, in which particular alleles poison the activity of another allele. Negative complementation predicts that protein-protein interactions are critical for ORD function. The position and nature of these unusual ord mutations demonstrate that the C-terminal half of ORD is essential for sister chromatid cohesion and suggest that it mediates protein binding.
