Both granite porphyry and quartz porphyry consist of quartz, feldspar and muscovite as primary minerals. WeaMy peraluminous granite porphyry (A/ CNK=1.10-1.15) is enriched in LREE, depleted in HREE with Nb-Ta-Ti anomalies, and displays subduction-related geochemistry. Quartz porphyry is strongly peraluminous (A/CNK=1.64-2.81) with highly evolved components, characterized by lower TiO2, REE contents, Mg#, K/Rb, Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf ratios and higher Rb/Sr ratios than the granite porphyry. REE patterns of quartz porphyry exhibit lanthanide tetrad effect, resulting from mineral fractionation or participation of fluids with enriched F and CI. LA- ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating indicates quartz porphyry formed at 233±3 Ma. The ages of relict zircons from Triassic magmatic rocks match well with the detrital zircons from regional area. In addition, εHf(t) values of Triassic magmatic zircons from the granite and quartz porphyries are -14.2 to -9.1 (with an exception of +4.1) and -10.8 to -8.6 respectively, indicating a crustal-dominant source. Regionally, numerous Middle Triassic granitoids were previously reported to be formed under the consumption of Paleotethyan Ocean. These facts indicate that the granitic porphyries from Walegen Au deposit may have been formed in the processes of the closing of Paleotethyan Ocean, which could correlate with the arc-related magmatism in the Kunlun orogen to the west and the Qinling orogen to the east.展开更多

文摘Global geodynamic reconstruction models of the Pacific margin of Asia refer to materials collected throughout Japan,Korea and northeastern China,but they lack data on southern Sikhote-Alin.Therewith,the Sikhote-Alin orogenic belt(NE Asia)constituted a single eastern margin of the paleo-Asian continent with the abovementioned territories in the Paleocene.New isotopic,geochemical,and geochronological data show that Paleocene igneous activity(-61-55 Ma)is widely developed in south-ern Sikhote-Alin.Bulk rock compositions of the igneous rocks of this period yield ferroan,peraluminous,calc-alkaline to alkaline affinities,highly abundant LILE and HFSE(with pronounced Ba,Sr,Eu,and Ti neg-ative anomalies)and depleted HREE.The initial melts,displaying Zr+Y+Ce+Nb>350 ppm and 10,000×Ga/Al>2.6,derived from an OIB-like mantle source crystallised under fairly reducing conditions(below FMQ buffer),and yield high temperature of zircon saturation(>850℃),indicating typical A-type granite and related volcanic rock features.It is logical to associate variations in A-type rock geochemical composition with an enrichment of the upper part of the magma chamber with fluid-mobile components involving a reditribution of major and trace elements through fluid-magmatic differentiation.Strong depletion in Ca,Mg,Ba,Sr,Eu in the A-type rocks is caused by an outflow of these elements by an oxi-dizing,initially reduced,acidic fluid beyond the zone of magma generation.Whole-rock Sr-Nd isotope data argue for the generation of the A-type rocks by melting of dominantly a juvenile mantle component with a subordinate component of the ancient crust.Isotope variations of igneous rocks of the reference area:^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr(t)(0.7024-0.7118),ε_(Nd)(t)(-0.9 to-5.1)and T_(DM2)(934-1277 Ma),result from the mixing of the OIB-like mantle source with selective melts or from the metapelite contamination of the Samarka terrane accretionary prism and of the Zhuravlevka-Amur turbidite basin,later followed by fluid-magmatic differentiation that led to the formation of anatectic or hybrid melts.We further suggest that the origin of the A-type granites and related volcanic rocks is the result of the oblique interaction of ocea-nic and continental plates.This interaction accounts for the simultaneous formation of tears in the slab,enabling sub-slab asthenospheric upwelling,and strike-slip fault-related extensional structures in the overriding continental plate.
