Abstract

The Jabal Ess ophiolite arc complex (JEOA) comprises basalt and basaltic andesite lavas and dykes and rare gabbros that range from MORB- and Izu Bonin Marianas forearc basalt (IBM FAB)-like to volcanic arc basalt-like but also comprise high-Mg andesite (HMA) and low-Si boninite (LSB); post-ophiolite formation granitoids intrude the ophiolite complex. Though the mafic rocks have major oxide compositional characteristics similar to MORB and IBM FAB, these mafic rocks exhibit prominent primitive mantle normalized negative Nb/Nb* anomalies and HFSE concentrations that range to much lower than MORB. We posit that the Jabal Ess ophiolite formed in adherence to the subduction initiation rule (i.e., MORB-like lavas followed by HMA and LSB) which is at least partially verified by the fact that LSB diabase are intrusive into lowermost peridotite. U-Pb SHRIMP ages of a lone rhyolite and two granites that intrude ophiolite mafic rocks are 687.6 ± 6.5 Ma and 699.0 ± 6.3 to 702.9 ± 6.2 Ma, respectively, and represent post-collisional granitoids that formed during collision of the Hijaz and Midyan terranes which aided in stitching of the 701–695 Ma Yanbu suture zone.

期刊介绍： Precambrian Research publishes studies on all aspects of the early stages of the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth and its planetary neighbours. With a focus on process-oriented and comparative studies, it covers, but is not restricted to, subjects such as: (1) Chemical, biological, biochemical and cosmochemical evolution; the origin of life; the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere; the early fossil record; palaeobiology; (2) Geochronology and isotope and elemental geochemistry; (3) Precambrian mineral deposits; (4) Geophysical aspects of the early Earth and Precambrian terrains; (5) Nature, formation and evolution of the Precambrian lithosphere and mantle including magmatic, depositional, metamorphic and tectonic processes. In addition, the editors particularly welcome integrated process-oriented studies that involve a combination of the above fields and comparative studies that demonstrate the effect of Precambrian evolution on Phanerozoic earth system processes. Regional and localised studies of Precambrian phenomena are considered appropriate only when the detail and quality allow illustration of a wider process, or when significant gaps in basic knowledge of a particular area can be filled.
