Recent studies show that the formation age of acid volcanic and intrusive rocks in the Xiemisitai area mainly ranges from the Late Silurian to the Early Devonian, and the age of the mineralized dacite porphyry is Early Silurian. These rocks are the principal part of the Early Paleozoic arc magmatic belt, which are related to the Paleo-Asian Ocean slab subduction. However, there have been no reports of the pre-Silurian arc granitoid, which has restricted the discussion on the Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution in the area. This work studied the newly discovered granodiorite mass near Yinisala in the Xiemisitai area to determine its formation age and tectonic environment, magma source and petrogenesis, providing new information for the discussion on the Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution in the Xiemisitai area.展开更多
