Late Carboniferous Vertical Crustal Growth in Northern North China Craton: Evidence from Zircon U-Pb Age and Depleted Hf Isotope of the Dongwanzi Syenite

Objective Though the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is characterized by widespread Phanerozoic crustal growth,there is little juvenile crust documented in its southeastern segment,northern margin of the North China Craton(NCC)(Zhang et al,2007,2009).Late Carboniferous Dongwanzi ultramafic-mafic cumulate complex occurs in northern margin of the NCC and is intruded by a syenite with depleted Sr-Nd isotopes (Ma et al.,2014).However,the age and petrogenesis of this syenite is poorly constrained.In this study,we present new petrological,zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopic data of the Dongwanzi syenite,in order to put insights on its formation age and petrogenetic relationship with cumulates.
