英文摘要 | A large set of zinc (Zn) stable isotope data for continental basalts from eastern China were reported to investigate the application of Zn isotopes as a new tracer of deep carbonate cycling. All of the basalts with ages of <110 Ma have systematically heavy delta(66)zn (relative to JMC 3-0749L) ranging from 0.30 parts per thousand to 0.63 (n = 44) compared to the mantle (0.28 +/- 0.05 parts per thousand; 2sd) and >120 Ma basalts from eastern China (0.27 +/- 0.06 parts per thousand; 2sd). Given that Zn isotope fractionation during magmatic differentiation is limited (<= 0.1 parts per thousand), the elevated delta Zn-66 values reflect the involvement of isotopically heavy crustal materials (e.g., carbonates with an average delta Zn-66 of similar to 0.91 parts per thousand) in the mantle sources. SiO2 contents of the <110 Ma basalts negatively correlate with parameters that are sensitive to the degree of partial melting (e.g., Sm/Yb, Nb/Y, [Nb]) and with the concentration of Zn, which also behaves incompatibly during mantle melting. This is inconsistent with a volatile-poor peridotite source and instead suggests partial melting of carbonated peridotites which, at lower degree of melting, generates more Si-depleted (and more Ca-rich) melts. Zinc isotopic compositions are positively correlated with Sm/Yb, Nb/Y, [Nb] and [Zn], indicating that melts produced by lower degrees of melting have heavier Zn isotopic compositions. Carbonated peridotites have a lower solidus than volatile-poor peridotites and therefore at lower melting extents, contribute more to the melts, which will have heavier Zn isotopic compositions. Together with the positive relationships of delta Zn-66 with CaO and CaO/Al2O3, we propose that the heavy Zn isotopic compositions of the <110 Ma basalts were generated by incongruent partial melting of carbonated peridotites. Combined with previously reported Mg and Sr isotope data, we suggest that the large-scale Zn isotope anomaly indicates the widespread presence of recycled Mg (Zn)-rich carbonates in the mantle beneath eastern China since the Late Mesozoic. Since Zn is a trace element in the mantle and Zn isotopic compositions of marine carbonates and the mantle differ markedly, we highlight Zn isotopes as a new and useful tool of tracing deep carbonate cycling in the Earth's mantle.
