Abstract
Late Paleozoic volcanic rocks are well exposed in the Yining Block, NW China, and are predominately composed of andesites, rhyolites and volcaniclastics as well as minor basalts. Study of the petrology, whole-rock geochemistry and zircon U-Pb dating for the Early Carboniferous alkaline basalts from Wusun Mountain, western Yining Block, constrains their petrogenesis and tectonic evolution. The alkaline basalts consist mainly of plagioclases,...
