4. Description Abstract

The first ever detailed data are obtained on the Sr–Nd–Pb isotope systematics and geochemistry of Quaternary intraplate hauyne basanites and ordanshites in the Lesser Caucasus. The parental magmas of the rocks were found out to have been generated by mixing material from at least two regional sources: one relatively depleted and the other significantly enriched in incompatible elements. One of these sources of the hybrid magmas was most likely a mildly depleted regional plume–asthenospheric source of the CAUCASUS OIB type, whose isotopic-geochemical signatures were close to those of the COMMON and PREMA mantle reservoirs. The other source of the material for the rocks was relatively enriched in radiogenic Sr and Pb and depleted in radiogenic Nd and was most probably enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle of the EM II type.
