摘要:Identifying the crust-mantle interactions in association with the evolution of the Precambrian microcontinents provides critical constraints on the accretionary evolution in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB).The Bainaimiao arc terrane(BAT)is one of the most important Precambrian microcontinents in southeastern CAOB,however,few studies have paid attention to the types and the evolving processes of the crust-mantle interactions that occurred before its final accretion onto the northern North China Craton.This study presents an integrated study of geochronology,zircon Hf isotope and whole-rock geochemistry on the latest Neoproterozoic diabases and the Early Paleozoic arc intrusions in the western BAT.The latest Neoproterozoic(ca.546 Ma)diabases display low SiO2(46.52-49.24 wt.%)with high MgO(8.23-14.41 wt.%),Cr(66-542 ppm)and Ni(50-129 ppm),consisting with mantle origin.Their highly negative zirconεHf(t)(-12.0 to-24.7)and high Fe/Mn ratios(62.1-81.7)further indicate a significantly enriched mantle source.Considering that the BAT maybe initially separated from the Tarim Craton with a thickened crustal root,we propose that these diabases were generated through partial melting of an enriched lithospheric mantle source that had been hybridized by lower-crustal eclogites during foundering of the BAT lower crust.The Early Paleozoic(ca.475-417 Ma)arc intrusions in western BAT can be divided into PeriodsⅠandⅡat approximately 450 Ma.The PeriodⅠ(>450 Ma)intrusions contain abundant mafic minerals like hornblende and pyroxene,and show positive zirconεHf(t)(+1.5 to+10.9).They are predominantly medium-K calc-alkaline with broad correlations of SiO2 versus various major and trace elements,which correlate well with the experimental melts produced by the fractional crystallization of primitive hydrous arc magmas at 7 kbar.We assume they were formed through mid-crustal differentiation of the mantle wedge-derived hydrous basaltic melts.By contrast,the PeriodⅡ(≤450 Ma)intrusions are characterized by variable zircon eHf(
