Abstract:
The Cenozoic basalts in Fujian arc widcly devclopcd and contain abundant mantle xenoliths, whose mineralogical characteristic provide insights into the properties of lithospheric mantle.This study conducted elcctron microprobes, clinopyroxenc LA - ICP - MS tracc dement, and in-situ Sr isotopes analyses on the minerals in Cenozoic basalts and peridotite xenoliths from Xiamen along the Fujian coast, as well as Mingxi and Minqing in the inland region. The results indicate that the clinopyroxenes in both basalt and peridotite xenoliths arc predominantly diopside. The peridotite xenoliths arc dividcd into two groups based on mincralogical characteristics: Group A (Mg" > 90), representing an ancient, refractory lithospheric mantle, and Group B (Mg" < 90), representing a younger, modified enriched lithospheric mantle. Group A clinopyroxenc exhibit slight negative anomalies in high-field strength elements Nb and Ti, and strong negative anomalies in Hf, Zr, and Ta. In Group B peridotite, clinopyroxenc shows differences, with slightly negative anomaly in high high-field strength elements Zr and Hf and a pronounced negative anomaly in the large ion lithophile element Ba. The clinopyroxenc in both the phenocrysts and matrix of the basalt exhibits LREE enrichment and HREE depletion, with the rims showing greater depletions in high-field strength elements Th and Nb compared to the corcs, along with enrichments in large ion lithophile elements Sr and Eu. Most clinopyroxenes in both Group A and Group B xenoliths have experienced Silicate melt metasomatism, while a few Group A clinopyroxenc suggest a mix between Silicate and carbonatc melt metasomatism. In-situ Sr isotope ratios for clinopyroxene ränge from 0.702 57 to 0.703 67, with most rims showing higher 87Sr/86Sr ratios than the corcs, likc duc to interaction with materials of higher 8'Sr/86Sr ratios. The Fujian peridotite probably represents a ncwly modified lithospheric mantle of the Pacific plate subduetion asthenosphere mantle, following decompression ascent. © 2025 Editorial Board of Jilin University.
