a,b Zircon Yb-Eu/Eu* plot for the Atlantis Bank felsic veins grouped by their reconstructed locations in detachment footwall. c Schematic cartoons illustrating the interplay among detachment faulting, magma intrusion, and high-temperature hydrothermal circulation during the formation of the Atlantis Bank OCC. Red dashed lines in panel c denote the qualitative isotherms. OxG oxide gabbros, HPM hydrous partial melting, FC fractional crystallization.
