There are a lot of ultramafic bodies in Sulu ultrahigh pressure metamorphic belt and the research on the origin of these
rock bodies has long been a hot topic. To identify if there is the ultramafic rocks that experienced shallow crustal process
before subduction in this terrane, this study carried out oxygen extraction from mineral separates olivine, garnet and
clinopyroxene of three peridotite samples between the depths 603.20~683.53 m of Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling
(CCSD) bore hole using CO2 laser fluorination system and isotope analysis by mass spectrometer. The results are as
follows. δ 18O values of olivine are œ®3.31‰~œ®3.82‰, garnet
œ®4.03‰~œ®4.10‰, and clinopyroxene œ®2.10‰ in average with larger error. The δ18O
values of these mineral separates are comprehensively lower than typical mantle values. Combined with other evidences, it is
indicated that the lowδ18O values of ultramafic rock in shallow crust level was got from cold meteoric water by
interaction between it and the rock body and experienced afterwards subduction, UHPM, retrogressive metamorphism during
exhumation etc together with wall-rocks. Theδ18O discrepancies between minerals are
0.394‰~0.791‰œ"Δgrt-olvœc, 1.933‰œ"Δgrt-cpxœc, -1.538‰œ"Δcpx-olvœc
which demonstrate oxygen isotope partial equilibria between minerals and reflect isotope diffusion during retrogressive
metamorphism. This is the first case that the ultramafic rocks possess 18O depleted character found in Sulu terrane.
This result bears even more important continental dynamic meaning and proves that Sulu terrane is the eastward extension of
Dabie terrane in respect of ultramafic rocks.
