Abstract | The Anyi intrusion is located in the central zone of Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP), SW China. It outcrops in an area of about 0.65 km(2) and similar to 1 km thick and dips to the southwest. The Anyi intrusion consists of a lower clinopyroxenite zone, middle gabbro zone, and an upper monzonite-syenite zone. Up to 400 m thick stratiform disseminated Fe-Ti oxide layer with grades of 16-18 wt% total Fe is hosted in the lower dinopyroxenite zone. Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age (247 +/- 3 Ma) indicates that the Anyi intrusion represents postdated mafic magmatism resulting from the similar to 260 Ma Emeishan mantle plume. Compared with the typical oxide-bearing intrusions (such as Panzhihua and Baima) formed at similar to 260 Ma in the ELIP, the Anyi intrusion is characterized by high alkaline contents and LREE/HREE ratios, extremely low 8Nd values (-6.2 to -7.6) and moderate high (Sr-82/Sr-86); values (0.7072 to 0.7086). These characteristics of the Anyi intrusion cannot be explained by fractional crystallization or crustal contamination, but may reflect a unique enriched continental lithospheric mantle source (a mantle source mixed between garnet pyroxenite and spinet peridotite). We propose that the postdated mafic magmatism associated with the formation of the Anyi intrusion and its Fe-Ti oxide ore may be the product of melting of a mantle source mixed between garnet pyroxenite and spinet peridotite in the shallow lithosphere caused by conductive heating combined with lithosphere thinning due to plume-lithosphere interaction. |
