Abstract
Abstract —We studied geochemical compositions of the early Paleocene basaltic and andesite dikes associated to linear zones of the Lankovo–Omolon shearing system (Northern Okhotsk region) and basalts of the Evdyreveem volcanic field associated to the Okhotsk–Penzhinsk fault system, and compared them to other synchronous manifestations of basic volcanism: andesibasalts and andesites of the studied earlier Garmanda field, as well as with the Late Cretaceous basalts of the Mygdykit Formation of the Northern Okhotsk region, roofing the Okhotsk–Chukotka volcanic belt. The isotopic composition of Sr and Nd in dikes, the distribution of major and trace elements with the ratios of noncoherent elements indicate the formation of volcanic bodies in the environment of continental margin rifting, which is confirmed by the combination of depleted, intraplate and above subduction geochemical features of their composition. Such behavior of the elements indicates multi-stage processes of the earlier Mesozoic supra-subduction fluid metasomatosis. Melting of an ancient buried Cretaceous slab may explain the appearance of such “above subduction” marks as the Nb–Ta negative anomalies in the studied basaltoids. Andesite dikes are characterized by higher isotope ratios of Nd and lower Sr, with lower absolute concentrations of trace elements and more pronounced anomalies on spider plots.
