Abstract:Study on the petrology, geochemistry and tectonic setting of the basalt from Tamulangou formation indicates that the basic volcanic rocks are geochemically similar to both tholeiitic basalt and alkali basalt, with Na2O-22O, nonegative Eu anomaly, La/Yb=35.7, rich Ba, Sr and K, and deficient Nb. The magma is probably generated by rifting. In such a thermal-tectonic event, it is speculated that the crust in Shangheilongjiang area and the lithosphere in Huzhong area were thinned greatly; while the lithosphere and the crust in Genhe area were slightly thinned.
