Abstract

The volcanic rocks from Baiyingaolao Formation in the northeastern Hailar Basin are mainly com- posed of rhyolite and trachydacite. U- Pb dating of zircon shows these volcanic rocks formed in Early Cretaceous (128- - 124 Ma). Geochemical data indicate that they are sub- alkaline series in composition and rich in alkali and potassium. All samples have similar rare earth element patterns characterized by high total rare earth ele- ments contents (∑REE = 113.96 × 10-6-204.33 × 10-6 ),significant fractionation of heavy and light rare earth elements (∑LREE/∑HREE = 3.10-4.52) with middle negative Eu anomalies (δEu = 0.46-0.76). The trace elements are characterized by enrichment in large- ion lithophile elements such as K,Rb,LREE and depletion in high field strength elements e.g. Nb, Ta, HREE, P and Ti, while enriched in Th and U. Rhyolite and trachydacite contain low initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios (0.704 9-0.7 053) and positive ε Nd (t) values (ca.4.15). These data suggest that the magma of rhyolite and trachydacite were derived from mafic lower crust newly accreted from mantle,with the evolutional trend of comagmatic fractional crystallization.
