摘要	Abundant Jurassic bimodal igneous rocks are present in the Nanling region, southeastern China. Their relationship with the tectonic evolution of southeastern China in the Jurassic is still a matter of debate. The similar to 194 Ma Xialan gabbroic intrusion is the oldest mafic intrusion in the Jurassic Nanling igneous belt discovered to date. The intrusion also hosts a significant Fe-Ti oxide deposit Thus, this intrusion is important for the studies of fundamental controls on the early Jurassic basaltic magmatism in the region and on the Fe-Ti oxide mineralization in this type of intrusion. In this paper we report Hf-O isotopic compositions of zircon for the intrusion and the stratigraphic variations of whole-rock and important mineral compositions in the intrusion. Based on variations in mineral assemblages and the compositions of cumulus minerals, the Xialan intrusion is divided into four cyclic units (I to IV from the base to the top). Our results indicate that each unit represents a new input of magma with composition more primitive than the resident magma. The contents of Fo in olivine, which occurs in the base of Units land II, are similar to 66 mol% This indicates that the parental magma for the intrusion is highly fractionated. Extensive fractional crystallization and density-driving crystal sorting appear to have played a critical role in the formation of important Fe-Ti oxide layers in the upper parts of Units I and II. Clinopyroxene trace element analyses indicate that the parental magma for the Xialan intrusion is characterized by pronounced negative Nb-Ta anomalies. Some of the zircon crystals from the Xialan intrusion have epsilon(Hf)(t) > 10 and delta O-18 between 5.2 and 5.8 parts per thousand. This, together with the depleted Sr-Nd isotopic compositions in whole rocks reported previously by others, indicates a dominant asthenospheric mantle source with significant contribution of the overlying SCLM. The epsilon(Hf)(t) and 6180 values of zircon from the intrusion are negatively correlated, consistent with contamination with crustal materials during magma ascent and final emplacement. Mixing calculation based on these data shows that <20 wt.% crustal contamination is required. The negative Nb-Ta anomalies in the Xialan magma can be attributed to crustal contamination. The Al2O3-TiO2 compositions of clinopyroxene from the Xialan intrusion are consistent with those of clinopyroxene from mafic-ultramafic intrusions in continental rift zones. Based on the results from this study and previous studies by others, we propose that the basaltic magmatism in the early Jurassic in the Nanling region was related to continental rifting and asthenosphere upwelling. We interpret that the Paleo-Pacific plate flat subducted during Triassic and then the subducted Paleo-Pacific plate became delaminated and foundered at ca. 195 Ma. The early Jurassic mafic-ultramafic intrusions, syenites and bimodal volcanic rocks represent a rift-related magmatism in response to the upwelling of asthenospheric mantle, originating from different degrees of mixing of magma from partial melting of the asthenospheric mantle and overlying SCLM due to the break-up of subducted flat-slab beneath SE China continent
