- W2108992158 abstract "The East African Rift System is important to understanding plume-initiated rifting as manifest in the geochemistry of mafic lavas erupted along the rift throughout its evolution. We present new data from high-MgO Tertiary lavas from Turkana, northern Kenya, to investigate regional melt source components, to identify the depths and degrees of melting, and to characterize spatially and temporally the chemical structure of the underlying mantle. The Turkana area is a region of high lithospheric extension that sits between two topographic uplifts thought to be surface expressions of one or more upwelling mantle plumes. Thinning of local crust is believed to be accompanied by widespread removal of the mantle lithosphere, causing the asthenosphere to be in close contact with the overlying crust. New geochemical data on basanites, picrites and basalts (MgO >7 wt %) tightly constrain the primary melt source regions of Tertiary volcanism. Initial isotopic signatures (143Nd/144Nd = 0·51267–0·51283, 87Sr/86Sr = 0·7031–0·7036) and trace element abundances (Ce/Pb ∼30, La/Nb = 0·6–0·8 and Ba/Nb = 3–10) in these lavas are consistent with derivation from sub-lithospheric sources. Basalts and picrites erupted between ∼23 and 20 Ma have Sr–Nd–Pb–He isotopic characteristics indicative of high-μ influence, record high depths and degrees of partial melting, and are associated with rift propagation to the north and south. Accordingly, these lavas sample a source region that is geochemically distinct from that reflected both in Oligocene Ethiopian flood basalts and in the modern Afar region. The geochemical data support numerical and theoretical models as well as tomographic results providing for a complex thermal structure in the mantle beneath East Africa and are interpreted to reflect isotopically distinct plume heads beneath Tanzania and Afar that are derived from the chemically heterogeneous South African superplume." @default.
