Abstract
Two types of cumulate gabbros are exposed in Wengeng area,Urad Zhongqi,Inner Mongolia,including olive gabbro and amphibole gabbro.The major petrogenetic minerals in the Beiqigetao gabbros are olive,pyroxene,plagioclase and hornblend.The SHRIMP U-Pb dating from olive gabbro give a concordant age of 269±8Ma.Both the gabbros show right-oriented linear REE patterns with LREE enrichment,and are characterized by LILE(K,Sr,Ba) enrichment and negative HFSE(Nb,Ta,U,Th) anomalies.The average 87Sr/86Sr(t),eNd(t),206Pb/204Pb,207Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb of olive gabbro are 0.706776,-8.8,17.2019,15.4252,and 37.3082,and those of amphibole gabbro are 0.706960,-8.9,17.2277,15.4524,and 37.4724,Respectively.Beiqigetao gabbros lie to EMI end member in the 87Sr/86Sr(t)-143Nd/144Nd(t) diagram.All the above evidences suggest that olive gabbro and amphibole gabbro were derived from the same mantle sources,which had undergone subduction-related metasomatism except inheriting the mantle source characteristics of the North China Block.
