Volcanism of the Nanpu Sag in the Bohai Bay Basin, Eastern China: Geochemistry, petrogenesis, and implications for tectonic setting

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of Soltan Maidan basalts (E Alborz, Iran): Implications for asthenosphere-lithosphere interaction and rifting along the N margin of Gondwana

“…As shown, samples mostly plot near the boundary line dividing alkaline and subalkaline basalts. The trends for FC and AFC are from Dong et al (2010). See text for details.…”

Geochemistry of Cenozoic basalts from the Bohai Bay Basin: Implications for a heterogeneous mantle source and lithospheric evolution beneath the eastern North China Craton

“…Cenozoic lithospheric evolution beneath the eastern NCC has not been well recognized in the previous studies, primarily because: (1) Seismic tomography revealed the thinnest lithosphere beneath the Bohai Bay Basin, the largest Cenozoic basin in the eastern NCC (Chen, 2010;Tian et al, 2009), but few geochemical and age data are available on basalts from the Bohai Bay Basin because of limited exposure (Xu et al, 2004a); (2) Most studies have focused on the magmatism in the Early Cretaceous (e.g., Gao et al, 2008;Guo et al, 2001;Huang et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2004b;Yang and Li, 2008;Zhang et al, 2002) and Late Cenozoic (b23 Ma) (e.g., Chen et al, 2007;Fan and Hooper, 1991;Song et al, 1990;Tang et al, 2006;Xu et al, 2004aXu et al, , 2005; Y.G. Zeng et al, 2010Zeng et al, , 2011Zhang et al, 2009;Zhi et al, 1990;Zhou and Armstrong, 1982), but there are few studies on the Early Cenozoic (66-23 Ma) basaltic rocks (Dong et al, 2010;Guo et al, 2006;C.Z. Wu et al, 2005).…”

Mantle Melting and Intraplate Volcanism Due to Self‐Buoyant Hydrous Upwellings From the Stagnant Slab That Are Conveyed by Small‐Scale Convection

“…(a) 143 Nd/ 144 Nd versus 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and (b) 87 Sr/ 86 Sr versus 206 Pb/ 204 Pb of Cenozoic basalts in NE China showing the linear trend between two end‐members. Data with higher Sr ratios are from the Bohai Bay Basin (Dong et al, ) and are consistent with seawater alteration (Elderfield, ; Veizer, ). Data are from “GeoRoc” database ( http://georoc.mpch‐mainz.gwdg.de/georoc/).…”

“…In which proportions they would have to be present in the MTZ depends on their relevant melting temperatures (and thus specific majorelement compositions). In other words, these proportions would shift as different melting laws (e.g., (Dong et al, 2010) and are consistent with seawater alteration (Elderfield, 1986;Veizer, 1989). Data are from "GeoRoc" database (http://georoc.mpch-mainz.gwdg.de/georoc/).…”
