The Xinhua Pb–Zn–(Ag)deposit is located in the western part of Yunkai Area, with an abundance of Pubei batholiths. Zircon U–Pb geochronology of Pubei batholiths shows that crystallization age ranges from 251.9 ± 2.2 to 244.3 ± 1.8 Ma, thus belonging to Indosinian orogeny. Geochemistry and Sr isotopic compositions of the Pubei batholiths show that it is derived from the partial melting of large scale crustal melting during the stage of exhumation and uplifting of the lower-middle crust. In addition, strontium isotope of sphalerite from the Xinhua Pb–Zn–(Ag) deposit, has limited ranges in ^(87)Rb/^(86)Sr and ^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr, ranging from 0.4077 to 1.0449, and 0.718720 to 0.725245, respectively. The initial ^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr ratios of sphalerite ranges between 0.718720 and 0.725245, which is higher than that of upper continental crust and lower than that of the Pubei batholiths, illustrating the fluid might be derived from the mixing of Pubei pluton and upper continental crust.展开更多

SHRIMP U-Pb analyses were performed on zircons separated from a tonalite intrusion and yielded a concordant age of 409.6±3.7 Ma ( MSWD = 0.93 ), restricting the emplacement and crystallization of the tonalite intru- sion to the Early Devonian. Combined with the existing geological data of the contemporary large granitic plutons in the Chinese Altai orogen, the tonalite is considered to be formed together with other granitic rocks in a continental arc setting. The tonalite intrusion has consistent foliation with its country rocks, indicating the strain resuiting in the regional deformation should be very strong during or after the early Devonian.展开更多

The zircons from the high-Mg diorite exhibit striped absorption and oscillatory growth zoning in the cathodoluminescence (CL) images, and have high Th/U ratios (0. 05-0.9), indicating a magma origin. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating indicates that 206pb/238U ages of 12 spots of zircons are between 167 Ma and 178 Ma, yielding a weighted mean 206pb/238U age of 172 + 2 Ma (MSWD =4. 1 ), which represents the forming age of the high-Mg dioritic dike, i. e. Middle Jurassic. Geochemically, the samples have SiO2 =55.4-60. 6 wt. % , Na20 =2. 2-2.76 wt. % , K20 = 1.32-2. 02 wt. % and (Na2O + K2O) =3.82--4. 47 wt. %, belonging to sub-alkaline series and displaying a calc-alkaline evolutionary trend. They are characterized by high MgO (4. 75-6.85 wt. % ), Mg# (55-61), Cr(130-262 ppm), Ni(63-130 ppm), Sr(568-857 ppm), and Ba(484-1 130 ppm) contents, with geochemical features analogous to those of high-Mg adakites. They show variable end (t) values ( - 1.3 to - 3.9) , with a weighted value of - 2. 7, which plot intermediately between the field of the ancient continental crust and the depleted mantle source, indicating that both the lower crust and mantle source are necessary for the generation of the parent magma of the Haicheng high-Mg diorites. The Haicheng high-Mg dioritic dike in the Liaodong Peninsula and the Jurassic magmatism in the eastern North China Craton formed under a continental crustal thickening setting that may be related to subduction of the Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate.展开更多

The analyzed zircons exhibit os-cillatory growth zoning and core-rim textures in the cathodoluminescence images and have high Th/U ratios (0.04-1.66),indicating its magmatic origin. The youngest group of magmatic zircon yields weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 132 ±2 Ma, which represents the forming age of the granodiorite porphyries, i. e., the Early Cretaceous. The oldest group of magmatic zircon 207Pb/206Pb ages ranges from 2 398 Ma to 2 370 Ma, yielding a weighted mean age of 2 389 ±23 Ma,suggesting that the basement of the North China Craton should exist in the research area. Geochemically, the samples are characterized by high Si02(70. 38% and 64. 87% ) , low MgO (0.60% and 1. 53% ) and Mg# values (42. 92 and 50. 42). Moreover, they show enrichment of light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements (e. g. Rb, Ba and K) , depletion of heavy rare earth ele-ments and high field strength elements (e. g. Nb and Ta) , positive anomaly of Pb, and negative anomaly of Ti. These results, together with previously published data, indicate that the Hutouya granodiorite porphyries were derived from partial melting of a delaminated lower continental crust and subsequent interaction with the mantle peridotites. They are consistent with the period of lithospheric thinning beneath the eastern North China Craton and may be formed in an extensional tectonic environment.展开更多

LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results of zircons from the diorites indicate that the rocks were formed in the Middle Jurassic (171 ±2 Ma, MSWD = 1. 19). Geochemically, these rocks have Si02 concentrations of 52. 52%-54. 90%,K20 of 2. 14%-3.84% , Na20 of 3. 17%-3. 35% , MgO of 7. 43%-9. 34% and high Mg# of 68. 57-72. 57. These rocks are characterized by enrichment in large ion lithophile elements( LILE,such as K, Ba, Rb and Sr) and light rare earth elements ( LREE) , relatively depletion in high field strength elements ( HFSE, such as Ta, Nb, Ti and Zr) , and heavy rare earth elements (HREE). These characteristics suggest that primary magma of the rocks were derived from the partial melting of mantle with miner crustal contamination, which may related to partial melting of mantle wedge by addition of sediment melt from subducting oceanic crust. Based on former and present studies, the authors consider that the Nancha ore deposit high-Mg diorites were formed in compres- sional structural setting which is similar to volcanic arc. It could be related to the subduction of the Paleo-Paci- fic plate beneath the Eurasian continent.展开更多

To understand post-orogenic uplift history and mechanism of the Dabie orogenic belt, many samples of granite, granodiorite, diorite, and alkali feldspar granite with precise zircon U-Pb ages were collected for electron microprobe analysis of hornblende. Emplacement pressure values were then cal- culated by using an Al-in-hornblende geobarometer. The result shows that total A1 (A1T) values in hornblende range from 1.17 to 1.97 p.f.u., XFe(=Fe/(Fe+Mg)) from 0.4 to 0.65, and corresponding pressure values from 256.8 to 676.2 MPa for A1T greater than 1.17. It is suggested that although the main mechanism for the uplift is tectonic extension, inhomogeneous uplift related to the pluton emplacement is also important during post-orogenic evolution of the Dabie orogenic belt. Emplacement depth dis- tribution of the plutons shows that uplift in the NDC is affected by horst-graben structures since 120 Ma.展开更多
