A Gondwana pre-break up related magmatism in Bafoussam area, west Cameroon: source characteristics and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
The Gondwana pre-break up related formations in Bafoussam area are transitional calc-alkaline doleritic dykes exhibiting high Alumina and low Ti-Mg contents. Their REE compositions are similar to those of E-MORB (Nd/Nb≈1, Zr/Nb≤20). A high partial melting of about 20% of Garnet peridotites source having primitive mantle composition, is inferred to the studied rocks. They are slightly evolved 50
