中太平洋海山玄武岩的岩石学特征与年代

玄武岩在中太平洋海山分布广泛, 且普遍存在风化蚀变现象.对测区内玄武岩样品的岩石学特征研究表明, 玄武岩具斑状结构, 基质以间粒结构为主.斑晶矿物为基性斜长石、单斜辉石和伊丁石化橄榄石.基质矿物为斜长石、辉石、橄榄石、铁矿物、磷灰石、玻璃及次生矿物等. 各海山玄武岩同属碱性玄武岩系列, 并为钾质类型玄武岩, 它们的形成基本上处于同一地质构造环境中.稀土元素分析结果为轻稀土富集型, 轻重稀土在岩石形成过程中发生了不同程度的分异作用.CM5海山玄武岩比其他海山年代相对较老（60 Ma）.     

南海中央海盆扩张期后海山链岩浆活动的热模拟研究

壳幔黏性结构是影响南海中央海盆扩张期后海山链岩浆活动的主要因素,研究其岩浆活动发育机制具有重要的科学意义。利用重、磁、测深及岩样分析数据提供的地壳结构和热力学参数,通过FEM数值模拟,研究了南海中央海盆珍贝-黄岩海山链之下黏性结构与岩浆熔融、运移活动的关系。根据黏性主要受压力和温度控制,但熔融期间的散热及脱水会增加黏性,设计了三种不同的黏性结构模型。计算结果表明：三种垂向黏性结构模型在不同的温度条件下,都可以使地幔熔融区最大熔融程度达到20%~25%。岩浆熔融程度与地幔热结构、熔融潜热和含水量有关,并受扩张速率影响,慢速扩张脊下的岩浆熔融程度相对较低。岩浆运移在扩张期后主要依靠减压熔融浮力,垂直上升至熔融区顶面后沿上倾面向脊轴运移。接近脊轴熔融带,部分熔融程度高,远离轴部熔融带,部分熔融程度较低。主要结论：南海中央海盆海底扩张期,海山链之下10 km深度具备形成拉斑玄武岩浆的条件;扩张期末,该地区25 km深度具备形成碱性玄武岩浆的条件。     

中太平洋结壳区海山燧石岩成因研究

燧石岩成因较为复杂,一般认为它主要是在深水环境中形成的.通过对燧石的宏观和微观特征、矿物和化学成分以及硅氧同位素组成特点,并结合区内地质构造背景等方面研究,认为中太平洋海山燧石岩是SiO₂交代有孔虫灰岩之产物.其主要特征和分析结果是:燧石中具有已硅化了的白色斑块,在显微镜下可见其岩石薄片上的有孔虫化石.有些燧石标本的局部处仍残留着有孔虫灰岩小块体(经鉴定有孔虫属正常海相).燧石岩的矿物成分为较纯的低温石英,SiO₂含量高达96%以上.具较高的δ18O值(0.032)和较低的δ30Si值(0.0004).区内断裂构造发育,出现多期火山喷发.海山形成地质时代大致在白垩纪—早第三纪,并经历了沉降过程.燧石形成于半深海环境,火山热液作用是SiO₂来源的主要渠道.     

南海深海平原海山、海丘分布规律及形成环境

南海深海平原有众多的海山、海丘分布,相对高差1 000m以上的高大海山即有18座,并对其中14座主要海山予以命名.海山和海丘的排列方向具有明显的规律性,有北东向线状海山和链状海山、东西向链状海山或海丘、南北向链状海山或海丘和北西向链状海山或海丘.海山、海丘的排列方向明显受南海板块构造运动控制,高差悬殊的海山和海丘系由玄武岩浆沿海盆断裂构造线上溢发而成.     

南海北部晚渐新世与早中新世之交T60构造运动的古水深响应

本文采用国际大洋发现计划(IODP)第368航次U1501站位井深264.0～331.1 m的样品,通过有孔虫壳体氧同位素地层和锶同位素定年,得出该段井深年龄为晚渐新世?早中新世20.3～32.0 Ma(地震反射不整合面T60的底部年龄在28～30.5 Ma左右)。T60构造运动之后,岩芯沉积物中有机碳含量、底栖有孔虫壳体稳定碳同位素δ13C、浮游与底栖有孔虫碳同位素差值Δδ13C_P-B指示海水表层生产力的降低;碳酸钙含量、有机碳/氮比值反映了陆源物质输入的减少;结合浮游有孔虫相对丰度以及底栖有孔虫的属种组合变化,共同揭示了南海北部在晚渐新世?早中新世时期,区域构造沉降运动导致了U1501站位在T60之后古水深逐步加深、离岸距离变远,相关结论从微体古生物学角度为认识T60构造事件及其沉积环境变化提供了科学证据。

大洋岛屿玄武岩低温蚀变作用及其对大洋过渡金属循环的贡献

用化学方法和ICP-MS方法分别对中、西太平洋海山富钴铁锰结壳产出区玄武岩的主元素、微量元素和稀土元素(REE)含量进行了测定,结果表明,研究区玄武岩经受了强烈的洋底低温蚀变作用,主元素成分发生了明显的变化,失去了原岩的特征.样品与新鲜大洋岛屿玄武岩(OIB)极为相似的稀土元素配分模式和微量元素含量特征表明,所研究的岩石属典型的大洋板内玄武岩.受洋底低温蚀变作用的影响,样品的Al₂O₃,Fe₂O₃,MnO、K₂O,P₂O₅含量增加,MgO,FeO的含量降低.蚀变作用使大洋岛屿玄武岩中的镁、铁等活动组分大量流失,从而表现出相对富SiO₂的特征(标准矿物计算结果中出现石英).由于蚀变作用,活动组分的流失使样品的REE相对富集,而富REE铁锰氧化物在玄武岩气孔和裂隙中的沉淀不仅使样品的REE含量增大,而且引起轻稀土元素(LREE)与重稀土元素(HREE)分馏,表现为∑c(Ce)/∑c(Yb)值增大.以REE富集机制为基础,对样品中铁锰氧化物的沉淀量和单位质量新鲜玄武岩中活动组分的流失量进行了理论计算,结果表明,因低温蚀变作用所引起的新鲜玄武岩的单位质量亏损为0.150~0.657,而单位质量新鲜玄武岩中铁锰氧化物的沉淀量为0.006~0.042.主元素中以铁、镁的流失亏损最为明显,新鲜玄武岩中铁、镁的流失比例分别为18.28%~70.95%和44.50%~93.94%,超过了岩石总量的流失亏损比例(15.0%~65.7%),因而样品相对贫铁、镁.其他元素的流失量和流失比例都很好地印证了地球化学研究的结果.样品中铝、钾、磷负的流失量是由于沸石在岩石气孔中的充填和岩石的磷酸盐化.理论计算结果和地球化学研究都表明,大洋岛屿玄武岩的低温蚀变向海水提供了大量金属,这是大洋海水中金属循环的重要环节.     

南海中部深海海山汁蛇尾属(Ophiurothamnus)二新记录种(蛇尾纲,棘蛇尾科)

南海海盆海山古地磁及海盆的形成演化

根据海山磁性反演获取的古地磁成果发现,南海海盆东部和西南部的运动形式、生成时代存在很大差异,东部海盆和西南部海盆之间由一条北北西走向的岩石圈压性左旋转换(性)断层——"南海海盆中央断裂"分界.结合已有的地质地球物理成果分析和论证,确定了南海海盆在古南海和与之接壤的华南地块南部边缘形成.南海海盆的形成演化分四个阶段:第一阶段,始新世"古南海断裂"产生,古南海被一分为二;第二阶段,渐新世东部海盆开始发育——扩裂;第三阶段,中中新世西南部海盆开始发育——张裂;第四阶段,南海海盆整体旋转,古南海圈闭.     

冲绳海槽浮岩中碳、氢同位素组成特征

利用分阶段热解释放气体质谱分析法研究了冲绳海槽浮岩热解释放气中CO₂和H₂O的碳、氢同位素组成,结果显示:浮岩中原生CO₂和H₂O主要释放于400～1 000℃,CO₂的碳同位素组成介于-6.7×10-3～-22.7×10-3,H₂O的氢同位素组成从-45×10-3变到-71×10-3,均落入幔源火山岩的变化范围,而且浮岩的氢同位素组成与海槽区玄武岩的氢同位素组成非常接近,这表明冲绳海槽浮岩与玄武岩之间具有密切的成因联系,浮岩岩浆和玄武岩岩浆是同源岩浆不同程度结晶分异的产物.另外,这些浮岩较洋中脊玄武岩要贫13C,并富集D,同时具有从洋中脊玄武岩向岛弧玄武岩变化的趋势,这表明浮岩岩浆在形成或上升过程中可能受到俯冲板块释放流体的影响.     

Petrology, Geochemistry and Nd-Sr-Pb Isotopic Properties of Volcanic Rocks in Daheishan Island, Penglai, Shandong Province

The major elements, trace elements, K-Ar age and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic systems of the Cenozoic volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan, Penglai, Shandong Province are measured. The volcanic rocks ( olivine-nephelinite and nepheline-basanite ) in DaheishanIsland erupted periodically in an interval of 0.32 Ma, from 8.72 Mm 8.39 Ma, 8.08 Ma to 7.73Ma. The volcanic rocks are all rich in light REEs. They are similar to the OIB-type alkali basalt in the trace elements normalized model by primordial mantle: rich in high field elements such as Nb and Ta, and imcompatible elements such as Cs, Rb, Ba, Th, U. The volcanic rocks show a depletion of K and Rb elements. It is suggested by the trace elements that the olivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Island is originated fi‘om deep resources under the continental mantle, ε Nd (0) values of the volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan are 5.31 - 8.51 and 7.33 respectively, suggesting that the volcanic rocks are from the depleted mantle resources, which have higher Sm/Nd ratios than the CHUR. ^143Nd /^144Nd ratios of Daheishan Island olivine-nephelinite and Cishan alkali basalts are 0.512 910 - 0.513 074 and 0.513 014 resoeetivelv. The ^87Sr /^86Sr of Daheishan lsland volcanic rocks are lower than that of Cishan, 0.703 427 - 0.703 482 and 0.703 895 respectively. The Daheishan Island olivinenephelinite has the Pb isotopic values as follows: ^206Pb /^204pb= 18.028 9 ～17.972 8,^207Pb /^204Pb= 15,435 8 - 15.402 2 and ^208Pb /^204Pb=38.087 6 - 37.997 5, lower than those of Cishan basanite. The Cishan basanite has ^206Pb / ^204Pb = 18.240 1, ^208Pb /^204Pb = 15.564 5 and ^208Pb /^204Pb=38.535. The authors suggest that the olivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Island is similar to the E-type MORB or Hawaii OIB, and the alkali basalts in Cishan similar to the Kerguelen OIB. The dominant mantle components of DM PREMA and perhaps DM( Dupal type ) are the dominant mantle components for volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan. The PREMA component plays an important role.     

伊豆-小笠原前弧地区Hahajima海山蛇纹石化橄榄岩岩石学和地球化学研究

Serpentinites, which contain up to 13 wt% of water, are important reservoirs for chemical recycling in subduction zones. In the past two decades, forearc mantle serpentinites were identified in different locations around the world. Here, we present petrology and whole rock chemistry of ultramafic and mafic rocks dredged from the Hahajima Seamount, which is located 24–40 km west to the junction of the Izu-Bonin Trench and the Mariana Trench. Nearly all the collected samples are extensively hydrated, and olivine grains in ultramafic rocks are replaced by serpentine minerals, with only one sample preserving remaining trace of orthopyroxene. Our new results show that the Hahajima serpentinized peridotite samples are all MgO-rich(～42 wt%), but have low contents in Al_2O_3, CaO, rare earth and high field strength elements, which is consistent with the overall depleted character of their mantle protoliths. Model calculations indicate that these Hahajima peridotite samples were derived from 10%–25% partial melting of the presumed fertile mantle source, which is generally lower than those of peridotites from Torishima Forearc Seamount, Conical Seamount and South Chamorro Seamount(mostly25%). All the serpentinites from these four forearc seamounts show strong enrichment in fluid-mobile and lithophile elements(Li, Sr, Pb and U). In details, Hahajima Seamount serpentinites do not have obvious enrichment in Cs and Rb, and display remarkably high abundances of U. These observations indicate that the serpentinization of Hahajima peridotites occurred by addition of seawater or low temperature seawater-derived hydrothermal fluid, without or with little contribution from slab-derived fluids. The geochemical signature of serpentinites from Hahajima Seamount could be interpreted as the result of the combination of extensive partial melting and subsequent percolation of seawater through the mantle wedge.     

西太平洋海山年龄及地球化学:地幔过程及岩石成因

Research on seamounts provides some of the best constraints for understanding intraplate volcanism, and samples from seamounts reveal crucial evidence about the geochemical makeup of the oceanic mantle. There are still many seamounts in the West Pacific Seamount Province(WPSP) that have not been studied, meaning their ages and geochemistry remain unknown. A better understanding of these seamount trails and their evolutionary history, investigated with age and geochemistry data, will enable better understanding of the geological processes operating underneath the Pacific Ocean Plate. Here, new ~(40)Ar/~(39) Ar ages and trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data for seven basalt rocks from four seamounts in the WPSP are provided. Chemically, these rocks are all Oceanic Island Alkali basalt(OIA type); analysis of olivine phenocrysts shows that the magmas experienced strong olivine fractionation and changed from olivine + plagioclase to olivine + plagioclase + clinopyroxene cotectic during their evolution. Rare earth element(REE) patterns and a spider diagram of the samples in this study show OIB(Ocean Island Basalt) like behavior. The range of ~(87)Sr/~(86) Sr values is from 0.704 60 to 0.706 24, the range of ~(206)Pb/~(204) Pb values is from 18.241 to 18.599, and the range of ~(143)Nd/~(144) Nd values is from 0.512 646 to 0.512 826; together, these values indicate magma sources ranging from EMI to EMII. Finally, new ~(40)Ar/~(39) Ar age data show that these seamounts formed at ～97 and ～106 Ma, indicating that some may have undergone the same formation processes as seamounts in the eastern part of the Magellan Seamount Trail, but other seamounts likely have different origins.     

Mantle source heterogeneity and magmatic evolution at Carlsberg Ridge (3.7°N): constrains from elemental and isotopic (Sr,Nd, Pb) data

We present new major element, ICP-MS trace element, and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data of basalts from four locations along the Carlsberg Ridge (CR), northern Indian Ocean. The basalts are low-K tholeiites with 7.52–9.51 wt% MgO, 49.40–50.60 wt% SiO₂, 0.09–0.27 wt% K₂O, 2.55–2.90 wt% Na₂O, and 0.60–0.68 Mg^#. Trace element contents of the basalts show characteristics similar to those of average normal MORB, such as LREE depleted patterns with (La/Sm)_N ratio of 0.55–0.69; however, some samples are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements such as K and Rb, suggesting probable modification of the mantle source. Poor correlations between the compatible elements [e.g. Ni, Cr, and Sr (related to olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase, respectively)] and the incompatible elements (e.g. Zr and Y), and positive correlations in the Zr versus Zr/Y and Nb versus Nb/Y plots suggest a magmatic evolution controlled mainly by mantle melting rather than fractional crystallization. Our results extend the CR basalt range to higher radiogenic Pb isotopes and lower ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd. These basalts and basalts from the northern Indian Ocean Ridge show lower ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd and higher ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values than those of the depleted mantle (DM), defining a trend towards pelagic sediment composition. The Pb isotopic ratios of basalts from CR 3–4°N lie along the compositional mixing lines between the DM and the upper continental crust. However, the low radiogenic Pb of basalts from CR 9–10°N lie on the mixing line between the DM and lower continental crust. Since the Pb isotopic ratio of MORB would decrease if the source mantle was contaminated by continental lithospheric mantle, we suggest that CR contains continental lithospheric material, resulting in heterogeneous mantle beneath different ridge segments. The continental lithospheric material was introduced into the asthenosphere before or during the breakup of the Gondwana. These results support the long-term preservation of continental material in the oceanic mantle which would significantly influence the isotopic anomaly of the Indian Ocean MORB.     

东马努斯海盆PACMANUS热液区Si-Fe-Mn-羟基氧化物的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素特征

Si-Fe-Mn-oxyhydroxides dredged at the PACMANUS(Papua New Guinea–Australia–Canada–Manus)hydrothermal field, Eastern Manus Basin, have 87Sr/86Sr=0.708 079–0.708 581; εNd=5.149 833–6.534 826;208Pb/204Pb=38.245–38.440; 207Pb/204Pb=15.503–15.560; 206Pb/204Pb=18.682–18.783. 87Sr/86 Sr isotope ratios are relatively homogeneous and close to the value of the surrounding seawater(0.709 16). The content of Sr in the samples contributed by seawater was estimated to be 76.7%–83.1% of total amount. The mixing temperature of hydrothermal fluids and seawater were ranging from 53.2°C to 72.2°C and the hydrothermal activities were unstable when the samples precipitated. The εNd values of all the samples are positive, which differ from the values of ferromanganese nodules(crusts) with hydrogenic origin. Nd was mainly derived from substrate rocks leached by hydrothermal circulation and preserved the hydrothermal signature. Pb isotopic compositions of most samples show minor variability except Sample #9–2 that has relatively high values of Pb isotopes. The Pb may be derived from the Eastern Manus Basin rocks leached by the hydrothermal fluid. The slightly lower 208Pb/204 Pb and207Pb/204 Pb values of the samples indicated that the hydrothermal circulation in PACMANUS was not entire and sufficient, or that hydrothermal circulation had transient changes in the past. Si-Fe-Mn-oxyhydroxides in the samples preserved the heterogeneities of local rocks.     

Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough

Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea (NECS) shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous,and lower in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE).These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE),thorium and uranium contents,positive lead anomalies,negative Nb-Ta anomalies,and enrichment in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE).Basalts from the NECS shelf margin are akin to Indian Ocean Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB),and rhyolites from the northern Okinawa Trough have the highest 207 Pb/ 204 Pb and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb ratios.The NECS shelf margin basalts have lower 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios,ε N d and σ 18 O than the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks.According to 40 K– 40 Ar isotopic ages of basalts from the NECS shelf margin,rifting of the Okinawa Trough may have been active since at least 3.65–3.86 Ma.The origin of the NECS shelf margin basalt can be explained by the interaction of melt derived from Indian Ocean MORB-like mantle with enriched subcontinental lithosphere.The basalts from both sides of the Okinawa Trough may have a similar origin during the initial rifting of the Okinawa Trough,and the formation of basaltic magmas closely relates to the thinning of continental crust.The source of the formation of the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks was different from that of the middle Okinawa Trough,which could have been generated by the interaction of basaltic melt with an enriched crustal component.From the Ryukyu island arc to East China,the Cenozoic basalts have apparently increasing trends of MgO contents and ratios of LREE to Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE),suggesting that the trace element variabilities of basalts may have been influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate,and that the effects of subduction of the Philippine Sea plate on the chemical composition of basaltic melts have had a decreasing effect from the Ryukyu island arc to East China.     

白垩纪以来太平洋上地幔组成和温度变化

The geological evolution of the Earth during the mid-Cretaceous were shown to be anomalous, e.g., the pause of the geomagnetic field, the global sea level rise, and increased intra-plate volcanic activities, which could be attributed to deep mantle processes. As the anomalous volcanic activities occurred mainly in the Cretaceous Pacific, here we use basalt chemical compositions from the oceanic drilling(DSDP/ODP/IODP) sites to investigate their mantle sources and melting conditions. Based on locations relative to the Pacific plateaus, we classified these sites as oceanic plateau basalts, normal mid-ocean ridge basalts, and near-plateau seafloor basalts. This study shows that those normal mid-ocean ridge basalts formed during mid-Cretaceous are broadly similar in average Na8, La/Sm and Sm/Yb ratios and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions to modern Pacific spreading ridge(the East Pacific Rise). The Ontong Java plateau(125–90 Ma) basalts have distinctly lower Na8 and143Nd/144 Nd, and higher La/Sm and 87Sr/86 Sr than normal seafloor basalts, whereas those for the near-plateau seafloor basalts are similar to the plateau basalts, indicating influences from the Ontong Java mantle source. The super mantle plume activity that might have formed the Ontong Java plateau influenced the mantle source of the simultaneously formed large areas of seafloor basalts. Based on the chemical data from normal seafloor basalts, I propose that the mantle compositions and melting conditions of the normal mid-ocean ridges during the Cretaceous are similar to the fast spreading East Pacific Rise. Slight variations of mid-Cretaceous normal seafloor basalts in melting conditions could be related to the local mantle source and spreading rate.     

中太平洋CA海山玄武岩中斜长石化学成分特征及地质意义

在对CA海山玄武岩CAD21样品岩相学研究基础上,运用电子探针和X-荧光光谱法(XRF)对中太平洋CA海山斜长石斑晶中的环带、斜长石微晶和玄武岩中的硅酸盐进行了化学成分研究。CA海山玄武岩为地幔柱成因的板内玄武岩;斜长石斑晶具有环带结构,环带核部与边部为不连续消光,是不连续环带;环带核部为培长石,边部为拉长石,是岩浆演化过程中形成的正环带,其成因受岩浆演化过程中熔体组分及温、压条件的共同制约。斜长石斑晶核部、边部及斜长石微晶估算温度平均值分别为1 281,1 198和1 071 ℃,分别代表了岩浆源区、岩浆房及岩浆喷发温度,三者温度差值较小,这和洋岛玄武质岩浆的形成及喷发特点相吻合。     

Age and composition of the Amanay Seamount, Canary Islands

A number of samples have been dredged from the upper parts of Amanay and El Banquete Seamounts, yet volcanic materials have been collected only on Amanay Seamount. Based on textural features and the presence or absence of kaersutite, two main types of olivine pyroxene basaltic rocks have been identified. The rocks are basanites with high enrichment in the most incompatible elements, similar to that displayed by Ocean Island Basalts. Samples from Amanay Seamount formed due to a low degree of melting of an enriched mantle, very similar to that which probably caused the Miocene volcanic activity of Fuerteventura. The age of Amanay volcanic rocks, 15.3 ± 0.4 and 13.1 ± 0.3 Ma, is similar to those of the older volcanic units exposed in the nearby islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote). This proves the formation of a separate submarine volcanic edifice coeval with the other edifices of the Eastern Canarian Volcanic Ridge. Volcanic activity on the submarine edifice is thought to have ceased at about 13 Ma, simultaneous with the adjacent main volcanic construction.     

冲绳海槽中部伊平屋脊火山岩地球化学和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成：对岩石成因和地幔源区的指示

As an active back-arc basin, the Okinawa Trough is located in the southeastern region of the East China Sea shelf and is strongly influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate. Major element, trace element and Sr-NdPb isotopic composition data are presented for volcanic rocks from the Iheya Ridge(IR), the middle Okinawa Trough. The IR rocks record large variations in major elements and range from basalts to rhyolites. Similar trace element distribution characteristics together with small variations in ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr(0.703 862–0.704 884), ~(144)Nd/~(143)Nd(0.512 763–0.512 880) and Pb isotopic ratios, demonstrate that the IR rocks are derived from a similar magma source. The fractional crystallization of olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and amphibole, as well as accessory minerals, can reasonably explain the compositional variations of these IR rocks. The simulations suggest that approximately 60% and 75% fractionation of an evolved basaltic magma can produce trace element compositions similar to those of the intermediate rocks and acid rocks, respectively. The analysis of their Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic content ratios suggest that the source of the rocks from the IR is close to the depleted mantle(DM) but extends to the enriched mantle(EMII), indicating that the mantle source of these rocks is a mixture between the DM and EMII end members. The simulations show that the source of the IR volcanic rocks can be best interpreted as the result of the mixing of approximately 0.8%–2.0% subduction sediment components and 98.0%–99.2% mantlederived melts.
