摘要：The Jining volcanic field located in the southern margin of the Mongolian plateau and the western North China Block consists of four rock types: quartz tholeiite, olivine tholeiite, alkali olivine basalt and basanite. These rocks have a wide range of K-Ar ages from ~36 to < 0.2 Ma. The early volcanism was voluminous and dominated by flood-type fissure eruptions of tholeiites, whereas the later phase was represented by sparse eruptions of basanitic lavas. Thirty-six samples analyzed in this study show a wide range in SiO 2 contents from 44% ~ 54%. They all are sodium-rich and high-Ti basalts that, however, show marked isotopic variations between two end-members: (1) tholeiites that have higher 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of 0.7048 ~ 0.7052, and lower εNd of -0.8 to -2.4 and Pb isotope ratios ( 206 Pb/ 204 Pb of 16.9 ~ 17.2, 207 Pb/ 204 Pb of 15.3 ~ 15.4 and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb of 37.1 ~ 37.7); and (2) basanites that have lower 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of 0.7035 ~ 0.7044, and higher εNd of 1.3 to 4.9 and Pb isotope ratios ( 206 Pb/ 204 Pb of 17.7 ~ 18.0, 207 Pb/ 204 Pb of 15.4 ~ 15.5 and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb of 37.8 ~ 38.2). Alkali olivine basalt that occurs as a subordinate rock type is geochemically similar to the basanites, but isotopically similar to the tholeiites, characterized by the highest 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio among the three basaltic suites, coupled with a low Nb/U value (~33). In Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic plots, the tholeiites extend toward the EM1 (i.e., enriched mantle type 1) component, whereas the basanites trend toward the Indian Ocean mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) field. Adopting the ‘plum-pudding’ model by Morris and Hart (1983), we suggest that the Oligocene tholeiites were generated by high degree melting of an ascended asthenospheric mantle that was contaminated with a large amount of EM1-type continental lithospheric material during the early Cenozoic. On the other hand, the late Tertiary and Quaternary basanites may have originated predominantly from a depleted asthenosphere component with small but variable degrees of contribution by the continental lithospheric mantle. The generation of alkali olivine basalt requires addition of a two-pyroxene granulite component, thus we suggest it was derived from a basanitic parental magma that underwent minor amounts of lower crustal contamination during ascent to the surface.
