Concentrations of the platinum group elements (PGEs), including Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, and Pd, have been determined for both Raobazhai and Bixiling mafic-ultramafic rocks from the Dabie Orogen by fire assay method. Geochemical compositions suggest that the Raobazhai mafic-ultramafic rocks represent mantle residues after variable degrees of partial melting. They show consistent PGE patterns, in which the IPGEs (i.e., Ir and Ru) are strongly enriched over the PPGEs (i.e., Pt and Pd). Both REE and PGE data of the Raobazhai mafic-ultramafic rocks suggest that they have interacted with slab-derived melts during subduction and/or exhumation. The Bixiling ultramafic rocks were produced through fractional crystallization and cumulation from magmas, which led to the fractionated PGE patterns. During fractional crystallization, Pd is in nonsulfide phases, whereas both Ir and Ru must be compatible in some mantle phases. We suggest that the PGE budgets of the ultramafic rocks could be fractionated by interaction with slab-derived melts and fractional crystallization processes.
