Evolution of the lithospheric mantle beneath the southeastern North China Craton: Constraints from mafic dikes in the Jiaobei terrain

Lateral variation in oxygen fugacity and halogen contents in early Cretaceous magmas in Jiaodong area, East China: Implication for triggers of the destruction of the North China Craton

“…(c) (f) (Cai et al, 2013;Gao et al, 2004b;Goss et al, 2010;Guo et al, 2004; ( Fig. 4), suggesting that the fractional crystallization of minerals including apatite cannot be major process for the contrastive F and Cl concentrations between Wulian and Rushan rocks.…”

“…11) would be related to the lithospheric delamination (Fig. 11), which was interpreted to be from a newly accreted depleted lithospheric mantle source (Cai et al, 2013). Collectively, four episodes of Mesozoic magmatic rocks in the Jiaodong Peninsula record a tectonic transformation of the Sulu Orogen, as the sequence of lithospheric evolution.…”

“…Chondrite and PM normalization factors are from Taylor and McLennan (1985) and Sun and McDonough (1989), respectively. (Cai et al, 2013;Gao et al, 2004b;Guo et al, 2004;Hou et al, 2007;Hu et al, 2005Hu et al, , 2007Lan et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2008Liu et al, , 2009Liu et al, , 2011Liu et al, , 2012aMa et al, 2013Ma et al, , 2014aMa et al, , 2014bMeng et al, 2006;Tang et al, 2009Tang et al, , 2014Yang et al, 2003Yang et al, , 2005aYang et al, , 2005bZhang et al, 2010aZhang et al, , 2010b. The fields of the Jinan-Zouping gabbro-diorites and the Mesozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Dabie orogenic belt are after Huang et al (2012a).…”

“…1b). The geochronology data show four episodes of Mesozoic magmatism (Late Triassic, Late Jurassic, Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous) in the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the Early Cretaceous magmatism would be the most (Cai et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2003;Goss et al, 2010;Guo et al, 2005;Hu et al, 2007;Huang et al, 2006;Li et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2008Liu et al, , 2009Liu et al, , 2011Liu et al, 2012aLiu et al, , 2012bMa et al, 2013Ma et al, , 2014aMeng et al, 2006;Miao et al, 1997;Qiu et al, 2001;Tang et al, 2009Tang et al, , 2014Wang et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2005aYang et al, , 2005bZhang and Zhang, 2007;Zhang et al, 2006Zhang et al, , 2010bZhao et al, 1997;Zhou et al, 2003).…”

Petrogenesis of the early Cretaceous intermediate and felsic intrusions at the southern margin of the North China Craton: Implications for crust–mantle interaction

“…These events also provided subducted-slab-derived fluids/ melts that significantly modified the geochemical composition and geophysical characteristics of the lithospheric mantle, as indicated by the decoupling of the Nd-Hf isotope of the TQG monzodiorites. Subsequently, the asthenospheric upwelling and lithospheric thinning may occurred mainly along major rupture zones that penetrated the lithospheric mantle along the margins of the NCC (Cai et al, 2013;Ma et al, 2014;Tian and Zhao, 2011;Yang et al, 2012). The influence of the long-distance subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate has possibly reached to the Xiong'er-Xiaoqinling regions in the interior of the continent Asia (Li et al, 2012a).…”
