Intraplate volcanism across Zealandia, South Eastern Australia, the Ross Sea Embayment and Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica define a magmatic province characterised by basalts with elevated Pb-206/Pb-204 (18.9-22.5), Sr-87/Sr-86 = similar to 0.7035, Light Rare Earth enrichment [(Ce/Yb)(n) > 10], and convex-up mantle normalised incompatible multi- element patterns, peaking at Nb-Ta, with negative K and Pb anomalies. Trace element abundances and ratios (e.g. Zr/Nb, Y/Zr) resemble Ocean Island Basalts (OIB), distinct from Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), suggesting derivation from OIB-like reservoirs. Our preferred scenario envisages partial melting across the garnet-spinel stability fields involving asthenospheric and lithospheric mantle components. Melts accumulate in a column where the deep (asthenospheric) source is PM and the shallower source a melange of PM and subcontinental lithospheric mantle (DMM+1) enriched by carbonatite. Evolution of primary and near-primary magmas is controlled by olivine + clinopyroxene fractionation. Trachybasalts, trachytes and rhyolites show isotopic evidence for interaction with continental crust.
