Page 1: The Petrogenesis of Pillow Basalts in West Junggar ... · These characteristics indicate that the magmas were derived from a deep OIB reservoir Eruption: 437.2 ± 2.2 Ma Middle Silurian

The origin, chronology, and chemical

composition of pillow basalts reveal more

about the evolution of the ancient Paleo‐Asian

Ocean

The Petrogenesis of Pillow Basalts in West Junggar, Northwest China

YANG et al. (2017) | DOI: 10.1002/GJ.3078

PETROGENESIS OF PILLOW BASALTS IN WEST JUNGGAR, NW CHINA:CONSTRAINTS FROM GEOCHRONOLOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY, AND SR–ND–PB ISOTOPES

West Junggar, Northwest China includes silurian pillow basalts of the

Mayilashan Formation

Petrogenesis of pillow basalt samples

Petrogenesis of these rocks are important for the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the area

What is the origin, chronology, and chemical composition of pillow basalts in West Junggar?

Geochronologicalanalysis

Geochemicalanalysis

Sr–Nd–Pb isotope analysis

Central Asian Orogenic Belt

These characteristics indicate that the magmas were derived from a deep OIB reservoir
