Mantle Driven Early Eocene Magmatic Flare-up of the Gangdese Arc,Tibet:A Case Study on the Nymo Intrusive Complex

Magmatic periodicity is recognized in continental arcs worldwide,but the mechanism responsible for punctuated arc magmatism is controversial.Continental arcs in the Trans-Himalayan orogenic system display episodic magmatism and the most voluminous flare-up in this system was in early Eocene during the transition from subduction to collision.The close association of the flare-up with collision is intriguing.Our study employs zircon Lu-Hf and bulk rock Sr-Nd isotopes,along with mineral geochemistry,to track the melt sources of the Nymo intrusive complex and the role of mantle magma during the early Eocene flare-up of the Gangdese arc,Tibet.The Nymo intrusive complex is composed of gabbronorite,diorite,quartz diorite,and granodiorite which define an arc-related calc-alkaline suite.Zircon U-Pb ages reveal that the complex was emplaced between~50-47 Ma.Zircon Hf isotopes yield εHf(t)values of 8.2-13.1,while whole-rock Sr and Nd isotopes yield εNd(t)values of 2.7-6.5 indicative of magmatism dominated by melting of a juvenile mantle source with only minor crustal assimilation(~15%-25%)as indicated by assimilation and fractional crystallization modeling.Together with published data,the early Eocene magmatic flare-up was likely triggered by slab breakoff of subducted oceanic lithosphere at depths shallower than the overriding plate.The early Eocene magmatic flare-up may have contributed to crustal thickening of the Gangdese arc.This study provides important insights into the magmatic flare-up and its significant role in the generation of large batholiths during the transition from subduction to collision.
