Diverse rock types and contrasting geochemical compositions of post-collisional mafic rocks across the Tibetan Plateau indicate that the underlying enriched lithospheric mantle is heterogeneous; however, how these enriched mantle sources were formed is still debated. The accreted terranes within the Tibetan Plateau experienced multiple stages of evolution. To track the geochemical characteristics of their associated lithospheric mantle through time, we can use mantle-derived magmas to constrain the mechanism of mantle enrichment. We report zircon U-Pb ages, major and trace element contents, and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions for Early Cretaceous and late Eocene mafic rocks in the southern Qiangtang terrane. The Early Cretaceous Baishagang basalts (107.3 Ma) are characterized by low K2O/Na2O (<1.0) ratios, arc-like trace element patterns, and uniform Sr-Nd isotopic compositions [(87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7067−0.7073, εNd(t) = −0.4 to −0.2]. We suggest that the Baishagang basalts were derived from partial melting of enriched lithospheric mantle that was metasomatized by subducted Bangong−Nujiang oceanic material. We establish the geochemistry of the pre-collisional enriched lithospheric mantle under the southern Qiangtang terrane by combining our data with those from other Early Cretaceous mafic rocks in the region. The late Eocene (ca. 35 Ma) post-collisional rocks in the southern Qiangtang terrane have low K2O/Na2O (<1.0) ratios, and their major element, trace element, and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions [(87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7042−0.7072, εNd(t) = −4.5 to +1.5] are similar to those of the Early Cretaceous mafic rocks. Based on the distribution, melting depths, and whole-rock geochemical compositions of the Early Cretaceous and late Eocene mafic rocks, we argue that the primitive late Eocene post-collisional rocks were derived from pre-collisional enriched lithospheric mantle, and the evolved samples were produced by assimilation and fractional crystallization of primary basaltic magma. Asthenosphere upwelling in response to the removal of lithospheric mantle induced the partial melting of enriched lithospheric mantle at ca. 35 Ma.

Sedimentation Conditions

Tripolitza series represents the eastern part of the Gavrovo - Tripolitza platform. It outcrops in central and southeastern Peloponnesus, Crete and the Aegean islands. Its stratigraphie column starts with a volcano-sedimentary, clastic sequences (the Tyros beds), of Late Paleozoic to Late Triassic age, followed by a carbonate series of Late Triassic to Late Eocene age and a tertiary flysch. On account of intense dolomitisation as well as of rarity of fossils, the stratigraphy of Tripolitza series is not so well known as the Gavrovo series. Recent investigation attempts to complete the puzzle of Tripolitza's stratigraphie column and to reconstruct the paleogeographic sedimentation conditions. In this paper, we study some stratigraphie sections, which are taken in different places in northern – central Crete(Fig.l). New data about the stratigraphy and the sedimentation conditions of the Tripolitza series during Late Dogger to Cenomanian, complete older ones and provide information about the paleogeographic evolution of the platform. Late Dogger is determinated by Pfenderina salernitana. It is overlain by a carbonate series containing Cladocoropsis mirabilis and Macroporella sellii, dating Early Malm. Early Malm (Oxfordian - Early Kimmeridgian) is characterized by the presence of Cladocoropsis mirabilis, Kurnubia palastiniensis, Neokilianina rahonensis, Parurgonina caelinensis. Late Malm (Late Kimmeridgian - Portlandian) is characterized by Clypeina jurassica and Kurnubia palastiniensis. Early Cretaceous (Valanginian - Barremian) is determinated by Salpingoporella katzeri and Orbitolinopsis capuensis. Early Aptian is determinated by Palorbitolina lenticularis, Salpingoporella dinarica, Debarina hahounerensis, Pseudocyclammina hedbergi. Late(?) Aptian comprises Sabaudia minuta, Cuneolina hensoni, Cuneolina laurentii, Glomospira urgoniana. Albian is characterized by the disappearence of Cuneolina hensoni and Cuneolina laurentii, while Praechrysalidina infracretacea and Cretacicladus minervini are present. Late Albian is determined by the presence of "Coskinolina" bronnimanni. Early Cenomanian is not determinated by characteristic microfossils. Upper Cenomanian is overlain in comformity with upper Albian - lower Cenomanian carbonates. It is characterized by Chrysalidina gradata, Pseudorhapydionina dubia, Pseudorhapydionina laurinensis, Nummoloculina heimi, Broeckina balcanica, Nezzazata gyra, Biconcava bentori, Trochospira anvimelechi. Sedimentation took place in a peritidal environment. We observe alternations of subtidal and intratidal to supratidal conditions of sedimentation. Comparison between the carbonate microfacies of different sections representing synchronous deposits on different places of the platform, show lateral differentiation of depositional environments, from subtidal to supratidal, even supported short and local emersive episodes, (compare lower Aptian deposits of Profitis Ilias and Pinakianou sections, upper Albian deposits of Kythia and Karouzanos sections in present paper, as well as upper Cenomanian deposits of Karouzanos section in this paper, Louloudaki section (ZAMBETAKIS-LEKKAS et al. 1995 and Vitina section ZAMBETAKIS et al. 1988, Varassova section BERNIER & FLEURY 1980, Gavrovo mountain I.G.R.S. & I.F.P. 1966)(Fig.2). Similar sedimentation characterize the perimediterranean platforms during this period (SARTONI & CRESCENTI 1962, DE CASTRO 1962, FARINACCI & RADOICIC 1964, GUSIC 1969, GUSIC, NIKLER & SOKAC 1971, VELIC 1977, CHIOCCHINI et. al.1979, LUPERTO SINNI & MASSE 1993).

Abstract The generation of Miocene–Pliocene post-collisional magmatic rocks in northern Tibet was coeval with surface uplift, meaning that understanding the petrogenesis of these rocks should provide clues to the mechanism of uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. However, the nature of the source(s) of Miocene–Pliocene post-collisional rocks is unresolved, especially for potassic–ultrapotassic rocks. This study focuses on 16 Ma olivine leucitites in the Hoh Xil Basin of northern Tibet, which display the lowest SiO2 (43·4–48·8 wt%) contents of all Miocene–Pliocene magmatic rocks in northern Tibet and have high MgO (4·85–8·57 wt%) contents and high K2O/Na2O (>1) ratios. Whole-rock geochemical compositions suggest that the olivine leucitites did not undergo significant fractional crystallization or crustal assimilation. All samples are enriched in large ion lithophile elements relative to high field strength elements, and they exhibit uniform whole-rock Sr–Nd isotope [(87Sr/86Sr)i = 0·7071–0·7077 and εNd(t) = −3·1 to −3·9] and olivine O isotope (5·8–6·6 ‰, mean of 6·2 ± 0·2 ‰, n = 21) compositions. We propose that the olivine leucitites were derived by low-degree partial melting of phlogopite-lherzolite in garnet-facies lithospheric mantle. Given the tectonic evolution of the Hoh Xil Basin and adjacent areas, we suggest that southward subduction of Asian (Qaidam block) lithosphere after India–Asia collision transferred potassium and other incompatible elements into the lithospheric mantle, forming the K-enriched mantle source of the Miocene–Pliocene potassic–ultrapotassic rocks. Removal of lower lithospheric mantle subsequently induced voluminous Miocene–Pliocene magmatism and generated >1 km surface uplift in the Hoh Xil Basin.
