Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Permian mafic dykes in the Panxi region, SW China

Numerous intrusive bodies of ultramafic–mafic to felsic compositions are exposed in association with volcanic rocks in the Emeishan large igneous province (LIP), southwestern China. In this paper, we present new elemental and isotopic data for the Permian mafic dykes from the Panxi region which is located in the western part of the Emeishan LIP. The characteristics of major and trace elements and Sr–Nd isotopes, in combination with isotopic...
