Petrochemistry and mineral chemistry studies on metamorphic ultramafic rocks in Yanghou area, Zhenghe Country, Fujian Province, China

Abstract

Petrochemistry studies indicate that the Yanghou metamorphic ultramafic rocksare composed of metamorphosed harzburgite and burgite and ultramafic cumulate . Trace element geochemistry and mineral chemistry studies on the metamorphosed harzburgite indicate that it is the relict of the depleted mantle. From systematic studies on petrochemistry , mineral chemistry and geochronology, it s concluded that the Yanghou metamorphic ultramafic rocks are components of Later Sinian-Early Paleozoic ophiolite in South China.

岩石化学研究表明, 洋后变质超镁铁岩是由变质方辉橄榄岩和变质超镁铁堆积岩组成。变质方辉橄榄岩的微量元素地球化学及矿物化学特征表明, 应为亏损的残余地慢产物。通过系统的岩石地球化学、矿物化学及年代学研究, 认为洋后变质超镁铁岩可能为华南晚震旦一早古生代的蛇绿岩组成部分。
