The Emeishan and Tarim LIPs in China are both known for the presence of several magmatic Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits hosted in layered mafic- ultramafic intrusions. The origin of such magmatic Fe-Ti- V oxide deposits is enigmatic. One of the long-lasting debates is the mechanism by which large amounts of Fe-Ti oxides accumulated in the layered intrusions. Regardless of mechanism, there is still considerable debate regarding the mantle source compositions of the Fe-Ti-V oxide ore- bearing intrusions, in the Tarim LIP, a giant Fe-Ti-V oxide deposit is hosted by the Piqiang layered intrusion at the northern margin of the Tarim block. This intrusion consists mainly of gabbro and minor plagioclase-bearing clinopyroxenite and anorthosite （Fig. l a）. For this study we present new SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age and whole-rock geochemical data for the Piqiang layered gabbroic intrusion to evaluate the nature of its possible source compositions, which in turn aids in understanding the formation of the giant Fe-Ti-V oxide deposit in the plume- related LIPs.展开更多
