The major and trace element, and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of the Carboniferous Qi’eshan, Wutongwozi, and Yamansu volcanic rocks from the northern and southern parts of the Jueluotage Orogenic Belt in East Tianshan, China, were analysed to understand their genesis and geodynamic implications. The early Carboniferous Qi’eshan basalts are characterized by high Al₂O₃, with La/Sm (1.38–1.79) and Ba/La (27.06–58.76) values higher than those of typical normal mid-ocean ridge basalt. They are relatively enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE), and depleted in high field strength elements. Overall, their initial Nd–Sr isotopic compositions are ε_Nd(t) = (5.6–7.0) and Isr = 0.70397–0.70429, implying the magma originated from a mantle wedge source that was metasomatized by subduction-related fluids. In contrast, the late Carboniferous Wutongwozi basalts have lower Ba/La (4.86–12.82), La/Nb (0.87–2.45), and LILE concentrations. They have the isotopic characteristics of depleted asthenosphere, relatively high and heterogeneous ε_Nd(t) (9.3–9.4), and high Isr (0.70471–0.70533). Thus, the late Carboniferous Wutongwozi basalts may have been derived from the partial melting of mantle sources during asthenospheric upwelling. The early Carboniferous Yamansu acid volcanic rocks are characterized by high Mg# (46–48) and Lu/Y (~0.15), and low K₂O/Na₂O (0.01–0.20), similar to M-type granites. However, their ε_Nd(t) (5.0–5.5) and Isr (0.70642–0.70768) values are lower than those of depleted mantle, indicating they were contaminated by lower crustal material. The magma source originated from a mantle-derived magma that was contaminated by middle Tianshan massif in a continental margin arc setting. Based on the results and previous field-based studies, we conclude that the Carboniferous volcanics in the Jueluotage Orogenic Belt formed in a complex trench–arc–basin setting in the Kuguertage–Aqikuduke Suture Zone.

本文利用LA-ICP-MS磷灰石裂变径迹（FT）和U-Pb双定年技术，结合锆石原位U-Pb测年结果，对出露于东天山南部雅满苏-彩霞山地区的侵入岩样品进行了系统分析。结果显示，这些样品形成于357~309Ma和~252Ma，裂变径迹年龄变化于304~118Ma。根据裂变径迹年龄和径迹长度分布对其进行热史反演，得到晚石炭世-早二叠世（320~280Ma）、中-晚三叠世（240~210Ma）和早白垩世（120~100Ma）三个主要冷却时期。综合分析认为，研究区的石炭纪和三叠纪侵入体在晚石炭世-早二叠世、中-晚三叠世和早白垩世期间经历过构造隆升。其中，晚石炭世-早二叠世的抬升是由康古尔洋闭合后区域进入碰撞造山阶段导致，中-晚三叠世的抬升主要与古特提斯洋闭合后松潘-甘孜地体、羌塘地体先后与亚欧板块南缘的碰撞增生有关，早白垩世的抬升事件主要受到班公湖-怒江洋俯冲闭合以及拉萨地体与羌塘地体的碰撞增生影响。此外，东天山不同部位经历了显著的差异性隆升，这一现象与区内各构造单元的非均匀性、分块性及其地质演化历史的差异性密切相关，同时还受到外部驱动力以及早期先存断裂构造活化的制约。

Volcanic rocks of the Qi’eshan Group, which are widely distributed in the Dananhu arc of the Eastern Tianshan, NW China, have long been debated in terms of their formation age and tectonic setting. In this study, we conducted an integrated study of U-Pb apatite geochronology, whole-rock major and trace element geochemistry, in situ major element analyses of clinopyroxene, and “Rhyolite-MELTS” thermodynamic modeling on the basalts from the Qi’eshan Group. Geochronological data show that the weighted mean of ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of apatite is 329 ± 10 Ma. The basalts belong to the tholeiitic series and are characterized by enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), depletion in high field strength elements (HFSEs), and enrichment of light rare earth elements (LREEs) relative to heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) with weak negative Eu anomalies. They were derived by partial melting of garnet-spinel lherzolite in a depleted mantle source metasomatized by subduction-related fluids, followed by fractional crystallization of spinel, olivine, and clinopyroxene. Clinopyroxene is dominated by augite, characterized by high Mg and Ca contents and low Al and Na contents. Machine-learning-based thermobarometry indicates that clinopyroxene crystallized at temperatures of 1027–1033 °C and pressures of 1.1–1.6 kbar. “Rhyolite-MELTS” isobaric crystallization simulations suggest that mantle-derived magma, with an initial water content of 4 wt.% and oxygen fugacity of FMQ, can generate melts compositionally similar to the volcanic rocks of the Qi’eshan Group through fractional crystallization at a pressure of 1.5 kbar. Combined with previous studies, we propose that the Qi’eshan Group basalts formed in an extensional arc setting related to southward rollback of the northward-subducting Kanguer oceanic slab, which caused asthenosphere upwelling and lithospheric extension, thereby promoting partial melting of the subduction-metasomatized mantle. Our data provide new insights into the Carboniferous rollback of the Kanguer oceanic slab in the northern part of the Eastern Tianshan.
