Geochemical insights into the role of metasomatic hornblendite in generating alkali basalts

Abstract Experimental petrology suggested the role of hornblendite in generating alkali basalt. This mechanism is confirmed by an integrated study of major‐trace elements and radiogenic isotopes for Mesozoic alkali basalts from the Qinling orogen in China. The alkali basalts have high contents of Mg...
