The experimental data demonstrate that the tonalites have the adakite-like characteristics,including high SiO2 (58%―63%),Al2O3 (18.4%―22.4%),Sr (810×10 6―940×10 6),Sr/Y (77―106),low HREE (Y=9×10 6―11×10 6,Yb= 1×10 6―1.3×10 6),with LREE enrichment and faint Eu positive anomaly. ISr (0.70421―0.70487) is rela-tively low whereas 143Nd/144Nd (0.512896―0.512929) and εNd(t) values (+6.7―+7.3) are high. These fea-tures suggest that Zêtang tonalites were formed by the partial melting of subducted oceanic crust,with involvement of a small amount of oceanic sediments. The identification of Zêtang adakites,derived from slab melting,presents new evidence for the intra-Tethyan subduction and the previous sugges-tion about the existence of intra-oceanic island arc within Tethys.展开更多
