Abstract:
Abstract The Permian magmatic province of the Oslo rift, south-east Norway, includes large volumes of felsic and silicic rocks. Based on their geochemical character, these rocks may be divided into two main groups. The Larvik larvikites (monzonites) are highly enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) (e.g. 10–32 ppm Th. 8–15 ppm Ta), and have an initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of 0.70391 ± 5. The syenites and granites have moderate to high concentrations of LILE (e.g. 7–88 ppm Th, 4–25 ppm Ta), and initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios between 0.705 and 0.707. The Larvik larvikites and extrusive equivalents (rhomb porphyry lavas) have similar initial Sr isotope ratios to uncontaminated basalts and gabbros in the rift, and are believed to have a mantle origin. The higher initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios in the silicic than in the felsic rocks reflect a crustal component representing the intermediate or low crust. After intrusion into the upper crust, the major and traceelement concentrations of the silicic magmas were modified through fractional crystallization dominated by removal of alkali feldspar, and transport of elements with a fluid phase. The silicic magmas appear not to have interacted significantly with the side rock at this stage.Keywords:

The Permian magmatic rocks of Bogeda orogenic belt are characterized with REE distribution model for LREE enrichment,Eu weak abnormal or no-abnormal.The ion lithophile elements(LILE),such as Ba,K and Rb are intensively enrich,and Th,Sr, Ce and P are appropriately enrich.High field strength elements(HFSE),such as Ta,Nb and Ti show negative abnormity of TNT obviously,and Zr and Hf are moderate losses.These features indicated the magmatic rocks had the geochemistry property related to the subduction zone environment.However,the overall characteristics of trace elements and the characteristics of key elements of the magmatic rocks show that the magma was influenced by the process of mixture of continental crust during rising.The magma source was relatively shallow crust or environment of continent tension or initial crack valley mixed with continental crust.It indicated that the Bogeda orogenic belt experienced postorogenic regional extension without adjustment process.

The abundances of 60 elements in 616 Ocean Floor Basaltic (OFB) glasses from the Abyssal Volcanic Glass Data File (AVGDF) of the Smithsonian Institution have been determined by laser‐ablation (LA)‐ICP‐MS and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA). The elements analyzed include all 28 of the refractory lithophile elements, which provide the framework for establishing the geochemical behavior and source abundances of volatile, chalcophile and siderophile elements. In addition to the traditionally analyzed elements (rare earth elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE), large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and first row transition elements (FRTE)), we report analyses for lesser‐analyzed elements (Li, Be, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, W, Tl and Bi). The precision of the method for most elements is between 2 and 4%, one standard deviation, although ratios of elements determined simultaneously are more precise (e.g., REE, Zr/Hf). Subsets of 329 glasses were analyzed by electron microprobe for S and 154 glasses for Cl. The results define a representative trace element geochemistry of OFB, against which local variations resulting from differences in basalt petrogenesis in a range of tectonic settings or different styles of magmatic differentiation may be compared.

The tectonic and geochemical characteristics suggest that the plagiogranitesexposed in the vicinity of Bingdaban on the northern margin of the central Tianshanuplift zone show a distinct mantle-source character, and their enrichment in LREE andselected enrichment in LILE (large ion lithophile elements) reflect a setting related to anarc tectonic regime. These rocks represent the products formed at shallow levels frommantle-derived magmas modified with subduction components (or super crustal rocks).

Recent remote sensing studies [e.g., 1-3] indicate that several un-sampled regions of the Moon have significantly higher concentrations of silicic material (also high in [K], [U], and [Th]) than sampled regions. Within these areas are morphological features that are best explained by the existence of chemically evolved volcanic rocks. Observations of silicic domes [e.g., 1-5] suggest that sizable networks of silicic melt were present during crust-formation. Because of these recent findings there is a renewed interest in the petrogenesis of lunar, felsic igneous rocks. Specific questions are: (1) when were these magmas generated?, and (2) what was the source material? The two main hypotheses for generating silicic melts on Earth are fractional crystallization or partial melting of preexisting crust. On the Moon silicic melts are thought to have been generated during extreme fractional crystallization involving end-stage silicate liquid immiscibility (SLI) [e.g. 6, 7]. However, SLI cannot account for the production of significant volumes of silicic melt and its wide distribution, as reported by the remote global surveys [1, 2, 3]. In addition, experimental and natural products of SLI show that U and Th, which are abundant in the lunar granites and seen in the remote sensing data of the domes, are preferentially partitioned into the depolymerized ferrobasaltic magma and not the silicic portion [8, 9]. If SLI is not the mechanism that generated silicic magmas on the Moon then alternative processes such as fractional crystallization (only crystal-liquid separation) or partial melting should be considered as viable possibilities to be tested.

Basaltic rocks of the Late Jurassic Tamulangou Formation in the northern Da Hinggan Mountains are characterized by rich alkalis (K2O+Na2O5.45%),high K2O (2.15%- 3.75%),high ratios of K2O /Na2O (0.48- 1.12),Th /Ta,Ce/Nb and Ta/Nb and strong enrichment in large- ion lithophile elements (LILE)and light rare earth elements (LREE),belonging to the shoshonitic series. Analysis of the available data indicates that these shoshonitic rocks formed in a continental intraplate set- ting. Geochemical characteristics suggest that the primary magma of these shoshonitic rocks underwent strong crystallization dif- ferentiation and was contaminated with pre- Mesozoic basement materials.
