摘要
The characteristics of the komatiitic basalts, quartz-keratophyre and rhyolitic tuff formed in the subducted stages of the oceanic crust as well as the two kinds of basic rocks formed in the post-orogenic extensional stage in the development of the (middle-) western Jiangnan orogen are reported in the paper. The kamatiitic basalts are considered to be the high-MgO basalts formed in island-arc settings. Their high Ni and Cr contents suggest that they were the primary basalts derived from the sub-arc mantle. Therefore, the authors believe that there existed coeval arc magmatism and sedimentation along the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Block during the Neoproterozoic.
