Cenozoic continental basalts from east-central China were analyzed for their whole-rock major and trace elements as well as Sr–Nd–Hf–Pb and O isotopes. An integrated interpretation of all the results is used to place tight constraints on the nature of mantle source. The basalts are alkaline in lithochemistry and show the OIB-like patterns of trace element distribution. Their radiogenic isotopic compositions are relatively depleted, similar to those of Cenozoic MORB. But their ΔNb values, and Nb/U and Ce/Pb ratios are inconsistent with the MORB-type mantle source. They have high Fe/Mn ratios, almost constant Nb/Ta ratios, and relatively high Ni contents of olivine phenocrysts. Some clinopyroxene phenocrysts have lower δ18O values than normal mantle-derived clinopyroxenes. Taken all these observations together, it appears that the dehydrated low δ18O oceanic basalt was involved in the mantle source of continental basalts, and the silica-deficient pyroxenite is the best candidate for source lithology in addition to peridotite. Thus, the dehydrated oceanic metabasalt is assumed to produce low δ18O adakitic melts during subduction, which metasomatized the overlying mantle-wedge peridotite to generate the juvenile subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) that is isotopically depleted but fertile for OIB-like basaltic magmatism. The melt–peridotite reaction is assumed to occur during low-angle subduction of the oceanic crust beneath the continental lithosphere, converting the mantle-wedge peridotite to the pyroxenite. Thus the mantle source of continental basalts is composed of pyroxenite–peridotite mixtures, whose partial melting at the lithosphere–asthenosphere thermal boundary due to continental rifting in the Cenozoic gave rise to the alkalic basaltic magmas. Therefore, the interaction between the oceanic crustal-derived melt and the mantle-wedge peridotite is a key to formation of the juvenile SCLM source, and the composition of continental basalts provides a snapshot of different SCLM sources with respect to the regime of plate tectonics.
