Metasomatized lithosphere–asthenosphere interaction during slab roll-back: Evidence from Late Carboniferous gabbros in the Luotuogou area, Central Tianshan

Late Carboniferous igneous rocks are widespread in the western Tianshan, but the tectonic settings for these rocks remain controversial. We report a plagioclase 40Ar/39Ar age, and geochemical, Sr–Nd isotope and LA–ICPMS clinopyroxene trace element data for gabbros in the Luotuogou region. The tholei...
