Our predecessors only made isotopic age determination using the K-Ar method. Through LA-MC-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and zircon Hf isotopic composition determination, this study acquired the age of 244.8±2.0 Ma(MSWD=0.57) on the basis of the weighed mean 206Pb/238U ratio, indicating that the Huangtuliang monzonitic granite was formed during the Middle Triassic period, which is the product of Early Indosinian magmatic activities in the region of North Hebei. εHf(t) values vary relatively evenly, within the range of-10.65--14.03, with an average of-12.14. The two-stage evolution model ages, tDM2, vary between 1943 and 2144 Ma, implying that the rock-forming materials of the Huangtiliang monzonitic granite mainly came from the Paleoproterozoic recirculated crustal materials, though a small quantity of enriched-mantle materials would have been involved.展开更多

The REE of the samples show right slope with obvious LREE/HREE differentiation and negative Eu abnormity. The trace elements show enrichment of LILE( Rb,Th,U,La,Nd),and deleption of Ba,Sr,Nd,P,Ti. The Sr-Nb isotopic data indicate that the magma source is mainly aluminosilicate lower crust with a small amount of new crustal materials. The weighted mean zircon U-Pbage of the Hutouya monzonitic granite is 221±1.7 Ma,belonging to Late Triassic. The Hutouya monzonitic granite was formed in the tectonic setting of transition from compression to extension during Middle-Late Triassic.展开更多

Plagioclases in these rocks are albite and oligoclase, while alkali feldspars are orthoclase. For the phlogopite-micas, Fe-biotite and Li-phengite are common for the Ibity and Antsahakely granites, Mg-biotite is common for the Ibity granite and the Tsarasaotra monzonitic and granite dykes, and siderophyllite and Zinnwaldite are specific to the Ibity granite. Phlogopite-micas in the studied rocks are mainly primary, accessorily re-equilibrated, and rarely secondary. Calcic amphiboles distributed in the Magnesio-and Ferro-hornblende are identified in the Tsarasaotra monzonitic, whereas amphibole is rare and absent in the other rocks. Igneous titanite is observed in the Ibity granite and in the Tsarasaotra monzonitic rocks, which have similar compositions to some REE oxide-rich titanites. Concerning the Fe-Ti oxide phases, the rhombohedral and spinel/trifer tetroxide phases are found in both the Tsarasaotra monzonitic and the Tsarasaotra granite dyke, the trifer tetroxide and spinel + wüstite phases are found only in the Ibity granite, and the pseudobrookite + rhombohedral phase is found only in the Tsarasaotra granite dyke. The epidote mineral, rarely found in the Antsahakely granite, could be an indicator of metamorphism or hydrothermal activity involved during the emplacement of this rock. Aluminum in hornblende geobarometer gave pressure ranges of around 5 kbar for the Tsarasaotra monzonitic rocks. The Titanite geobarometer gave pressures of 2.5 - 3.2 kbar for the Ibity granite, 2.9 kbar for the Tsarasaotra monzonitic, and 7.1 kbar for the Antsahakely granite. Both amphibole and Fe-Ti oxide-base oxygen fugacity reveal high oxygen fugacity conditions for the Tsarasaotra monzonitic and granite dyke emplacements, which might have a relationship with a porphyritic environment.展开更多
