The High-Ti basalts show no significant contamination by crustal or lithospheric mantle materials, whereas the inner-zone Low-Ti basalts exhibit evident contamination by both crustal and lithospheric mantle components. The Low-Ti basalts were derived from melting of spinel-bearing peridotite mantle, while the High-Ti basalts originated from garnet-bearing peridotite mantle. This study on the genesis of Emeishan basalts provides important constraints for understanding the formation mechanism of the ELIP and the interaction processes between mantle plumes and the lithosphere.

Abstract
