A suite of Early Jurassic mafic volcanic rocks from the Sk2 Borehole in the Songliao Basin, NE China, show geochemical signatures consistent with formation in a back-arc extensional setting. These rocks likely formed in response to lithospheric extension triggered by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.
Subduction of the Paleo-Pacific and Mongol-Okhotsk oceanic plates is widely believed to have caused extensive Mesozoic magmatism and lithospheric deformation in East Asia. However, it remains unclear how the two tectonic domains affected NE China, and whether a boundary exists between them, because the Songnen Block in central NE China is covered by sedimentary rocks and the related mafic magmatism has been rarely discovered. Here we report a suite of Early Jurassic (ca. 175 Ma) mafic volcanic rocks (including basalt and basaltic andesite) from the Sk2 Borehole, Songliao Basin, NE China. The Sk2 mafic rocks are characterized by high Th/U, Zr/Y and Ti/ Y ratios, and their geochemical signatures are consistent with formation in a back-arc extensional setting, rather than an arc setting. The rocks show depleted zircon epsilon(Hf)(t) and whole-rock epsilon(Nd)(t) values, which are comparable to mafic rocks located on the east of the Songliao Basin. This suggests that they both have a depleted mantle source, unlike the mafic rocks on the west of the Songliao Basin with relatively enriched Nd and Hf isotopes. Early-Middle Jurassic mafic rocks are distributed in the Erguna Block, >500 km to the west from the Sk2 Borehole, whereas coeval mafic rocks are widely distributed in the nearby eastern Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. These intraplatelike mafic rocks and the Early Jurassic bimodal rocks within the Lesser Xing'an and Zhangguangcai ranges likely formed in response to lithospheric extension that was triggered by subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate. The Early Jurassic mafic rocks directly underlie the oldest sedimentary rocks (the Huoshiling Formation) in the Songliao Basin, which suggests that basin formation was probably initiated by lithospheric extension.
