摘要: The Kekem shoshonitic gabbro-norite association is part of the high-K calc-alkaline (HKCA) post-collisional magmatism, a major feature Pan-African Belt in Cameroon. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon analyses provide an age 576 ± 4 Ma for complex. This interpreted as dating emplacement massif during waning stage orogeny. latter related to dextral movements along Central Cameroon Shear Zone (CCSZ). REE patterns display enriched LREE (LaN/YbN = 14.2-23.5) while HREE present nearly flat profile (DyN/YbN 1.3-1.7), and La/Sm Sm/Yb ratios led propose that gabbro-norites have been derived from partial melting garnet-spinel lherzolite mantle source. negative Nb-Ta Ti anomalies positive Pb indicate this source was modified by contribution subduction-related material. low Ce/Pb (2.6-10.4) Th/Yb associated high Ba/La ratios, enrichment could be slab fluids. As whole, geochemical features suggest primary gabbro-noritic magmas subduction-modified (metasomatised lithospheric mantle).
