This study presented whole-rock elemental and Sr-Nd isotope geochemistry data with the purpose to decipher the origin and evolution of the Miocene Elmadağ Volcanic Complex, Central Anatolia (Ankara, Turkey). Volcanic products spanned in composition from mildly alkaline basaltic (47–52 wt% SiO2) and medium- to high-K calc-alkaline intermediate (54–62 wt% SiO2; andesite to trachyandesite) to felsic (64–74 wt% SiO2; dacite to rhyolite) units. Despite a homogeneous major element composition, basaltic rocks were characterized by two distinct trace element and isotopic signatures, which have been correlated with different mantle sources. The first group of basaltic rocks was similar to those of oceanic island basalts (OIB) and was derived from asthenospheric mantle source. The second group had geochemical characteristics of orogenic basalts derived from subduction-modified lithospheric mantle source and represented parental magma of the intermediate to felsic rocks. By coupling geochemical and textural analyses of the rocks from the Elmadağ Volcanic Complex, I suggest that crystallization of olivine + clinopyroxene + apatite played an important role in the evolution of basaltic rocks, while plagioclase + amphibole + apatite + Fe-Ti oxides ± zircon crystallization was major process involved in the evolution of intermediate to felsic rocks. The EVC basaltic rocks were associated with the post-collisional extensional tectonic regime in the Central Anatolia, but the coexistence of the OIB-like volcanism implies variations in the extension dynamics during Miocene.

<div> <p>Basaltic activities  developed  extensively in central and western Anatolia since middle –Miocene to quaternary time, the most primitive lavas are  situated at  the eastern end of  central Anatolia, (southern Sivas) and the most recent ones  are situtated in central (basaltic cinder cones at south of Hasandağ) and also in western Anatolia (Kula region),  Among those  primitive recent  lavas, mantle sources that are responsible for the generation of basaltic rocks is  still a matter of a debate.          </p> <p>Previous studies suggested  that  spinel peridotite source   is the dominant source  component  for many of the basaltic rocks which are situated in several different locations in central Anatolia, including, Erciyes and Hasandağ stratovolcanoes,  Erkilet, Develidağ, Karapınar vents and Salanda fissure eruptions while Sivas fissure basalts in the east,  Gediz and Kula  basalts in the west, were  derived  mostly  from  the  garnet peridotite sources, but , the  specific  incompatible element ratios  and the melting model based on Rare Earth Elements obviously  indicate that  these basaltic rocks could not be solely generated  from  the garnet- spinel transition zone,   instead another mantle source component need to be involved  in the generation of the basaltic rocks.</p> <p>Tb/Yb(N) and Zn/Fe  ratios provide significant values   in order to constraint for the magmas  generated from the asthenosphere.  Tb/Yb(N) ratio seperates  garnet – spinel transition [1]  and Zn/Fe  ratio  displays separation between the peridotite-derived (Zn/Fe <12, [2,3]) and pyroxenite-derived (13-20 [2,3]) melts.  Zn/Fe, as well as  the  Tb/Yb(N) ratios and the melting model display  that single spinel  source   component  is not solely   responsible for  the generation of  the basaltic rocks,   pyroxenite  source domain  should    also  be involved in   during  the genesis of these rocks as well, besides, the  contributions from  the both of the  mantle source domains also explain the  depleted  magma nature that is observed  in some of recent basaltic rocks ( e.g, Salanda  and  Hasandağ  volcanic  systems) which is diffrent  from the dominated alkaline character,  generally observed  as  the   final products  of central Anatolian  magmatism   </p> <p><em>1.Wang et al., 2002, J.Geophys.Res.vol:107,ECV 5 1-21</em></p> <p><em>2 .Le Roux, et al.,2011,EPSL, vol:307, 395-408</em></p> </div><p><em>3.

<p>Extensive magmatic activities were developed in  Central and Western Anatolia,  since middle miocene to quaternary times,   the most primitive lavas are situated in eastern end of Central (Sivas) and also western (Kula) Anatolia, besides Kula basalts are  one of the most recent basaltic rocks together with  basalts  from south-central Anatolia.   Although the magmatism is generally   observed at several different  locations, the recent   basaltic rocks in both of the regions   seem to be derived from  the melting  of the peridotite and pyroxenite  source  domains and the latter one  was ignored in previous studies as source component.</p><p> The previous studies indicate that many of the basaltic rocks from Central and Western Anatolia  are related with spinel-garnet transition, but typical Tb/Yb(N) (>1.8; [1]) and Zn/Fe   (separates peridotite-derived (Zn/Fe <12; [2]) and pyroxenite-derived (Zn/Fe 13-20); [2] melts)  Co/Fe  ratios of the basaltic rocks from  several volcanic centers from Central and Western Anatolia  reveal that   melting from the single  source component  are not solely capable of  the producing  basaltic  rocks. </p><p> Sr-Nd and Pb isotopic  compositions  clearly display the distinction  of samples which are  linked to    asthenospheric source.

Research subject. The article presents the results of dating two dolerite dikes differing in geochemical features from a section along the Iset river in the area of Smolinskoe settlement (the Eastern zone of the Middle Urals). Materials and methods. The dating was performed by an U-Pb ID-TIMS technique for single zircon grains using an artificial 205Pb/235U tracer in the laboratory of geochronology and isotope geochemistry of the Geological Institute of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The lead isotopic composition and uranium and lead concentrations were measured using a Finnigan-MAT (RPQ) seven-channel mass spectrometer in dynamic mode using a secondary electron multiplier and RPQ quadrupole in ion counting mode. Results. The dikes were dated 330 ± 3 Ma and 240 ± 2 Ma. Conclusions. The research results indicate different ages of dolerite dikes developed within the Eastern zone of the Middle Urals. The oldest of the two established age levels corresponds to the Early Carboniferous era. This fact, along with the proximity of the dolerites to the petrochemical features of the basaltoids of the Early Carboniferous Beklenischevsky volcanic complex, allows these bodies to be considered as hypabyssal comagmates of these volcanics. The youngest obtained age level – Triassic – indicates that the introduction of some dolerite dikes was associated with the final phases of the trapp formation developed rarely within the eastern outskirts of the Urals and widely further east in the foundation (pre-Jurassic basement) of the West-Siberian Plate.

The Ilmeno–Vishnevogorsk (IVC), Buldym, and Chetlassky carbonatite complexes are localized in the folded regions of the Urals and Timan. These complexes differ in geochemical signatures and ore specialization: Nb-deposits of pyrochlore carbonatites are associated with the IVC, while Nb–REE-deposits with the Buldym complex and REE-deposits of bastnäsite carbonatites with the Chetlassky complex. A comparative study of these carbonatite complexes has been conducted in order to establish the reasons for their ore specialization and their sources. The IVC is characterized by low 87Sr/86Sri (0.70336–0.70399) and εNd (+2 to +6), suggesting a single moderately depleted mantle source for rocks and pyrochlore mineralization. The Buldym complex has a higher 87Sr/86Sri (0.70440–0.70513) with negative εNd (−0.2 to −3), which corresponds to enriched mantle source EMI-type. The REE carbonatites of the Chetlassky сomplex show low 87Sr/86Sri (0.70336–0.70369) and a high εNd (+5–+6), which is close to the DM mantle source with ~5% marine sedimentary component. Based on Sr–Nd isotope signatures, major, and trace element data, we assume that the different ore specialization of Urals and Timan carbonatites may be caused not only by crustal evolution of alkaline-carbonatite magmas, but also by the heterogeneity of their mantle sources associated with different degrees of enrichment in recycled components.

New high precision lithogeochemistry and Nd and Hf isotopic data were collected on felsic rocks of the Rambler Rhyolite formation from the Ming volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit, Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland. The Rambler Rhyolite formation consists of intermediate to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks with U-shaped primitive mantle normalized trace element patterns with negative Nb anomalies, light rare earth element-enrichment (high La/Sm), and distinctively positive Zr and Hf anomalies relative to surrounding middle rare earth elements (high Zr-Hf/Sm). The Rambler Rhyolite samples have epsilon-Ndt = -2.5 to -1.1 and epsilon-Hft = +3.6 to +6.6; depleted mantle model ages are TDM(Nd) = 1.3-1.5 Ga and TDM(Hf) = 0.9-1.1Ga. The decoupling of the Nd and Hf isotopic data is reflected in epsilon-Hft isotopic data that lies above the mantle array in epsilon-Ndt -epsilon-Hft space with positive ?epsilon-Hft values (+2.3 to +6.2). These Hf-Nd isotopic attributes, and high Zr-Hf/Sm and U-shaped trace element patterns, are consistent with these rocks having formed as slab melts, consistent with previous studies. The association of these slab melt rocks with Au-bearing VMS mineralization, and their FI-FII trace element signatures that are similar to rhyolites in Au-rich VMS deposits in other belts (e.g., Abitibi), suggests that assuming that FI-FII felsic rocks are less prospective is invalid and highlights the importance of having an integrated, full understanding of the tectono-magmatic history of a given belt before assigning whether or not it is prospective for VMS mineralization.
