Geochemistry, zircon U–Pb geochronology, and Hf isotopes of S-type granite in the Baoshan block, constraints on the age and evolution of the Proto-Tethys

Geochemistry, zircon U–Pb geochronology, and Hf isotope data for the Early Paleozoic granites in the Baoshan Block reveal the Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys. The samples are high-K, calcalkaline, strongly peraluminous rocks with A/CNK values of 1.37–1.46, are enriched in SiO2, K2O, and Rb, and are depleted in Nb, P, Ti, Eu, and heavy rare earth elements,which indicates the crystallization fractionation of the granitic magma. Zircon U–Pb dating indicates that they formed in ca. 480 Ma. The Nansa granites have εHf(t) values ranging from-16.04 to 4.36 with corresponding TC DMages of 2.10–0.81 Ga, which suggests the magmas derived from the partial melting of ancient metasedimentary with minor involvement of mantle-derived components. A synthesis of data for the Early Paleozoic igneous rocks in the Baoshan block and adjacent(Tengchong,Qiangtang, Sibumasu, Himalaya, etc.) blocks indicates that these blocks were all aligned along the proto-Tethyan margin of East Gondwana in the Early Paleozoic. The Early Paleozoic S-type granites from Nansa were generated in a high-temperature and low-pressure(HTLP) extensional tectonic setting, which resulted from Andean-type orogeny instead of the final assembly of Gondwana or crustal extension in a non-arc environment. In certain places, an expanding environment may exist in opposition to the tectonic backdrop of the lithosphere’s thickening and shortening, leading the crust to melt and decompress,mantle-derived materials to mix, and a small quantity of peraluminous granite to emerge.

Emplacement Ages and Petrogenesis of the Molybdenum-bearing Granites in the Jinduicheng Area of East Qinling, China: Constraints from Zircon U-Pb Ages and Hf Isotopes

The Mesozoic porphyry assemblage in the Jinduicheng area is a special molybdenum area in China, the Mo deposits, including the Jinduicheng, Balipo, Shijiawan, Huanglongpu, are distributed. The emplacement age and geochemical features of the granites in the Jinduicheng area can provide essential information for the exploration and development of the porphyry molybdenum deposit. In this study, we report LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb age and zircon Hf isotopic compositions of granite porphyries from the Jinduicheng area, and provide insights on the petrogensis and source characteristics of the granites. The results show that the zircon U-Pb ages of the Jinduicheng granite porphyry （143±1 Ma） and the Balipo granite （154±1 Ma）, agree well with the Re-Os ages of molybdenite in the Jinduicheng molybdenum polymetallic deposit （139±3 Ma） and the Balipo molybdenum polymetallic deposit （156±2 Ma）, indicating that the emplacement of granite porphyries occurred between Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Zircons granite from the Jinduicheng area give the εHf（t） values mainly ranging from -10 to -16, and -20 to -24, respectively, corresponding to two- stage model ages （tDM2： mainly focused on 1.86-2.0 Ga, and 2.2-2.6 Ga, respectively） of zircons of the granite from the Jinduicheng values. The ore-forming materials are mainly derived from crust, with minor mantle substances. Zircons of the granite from the Balipo area give εHf（t） values ranging from -18 to -20, -28 to -38, and -42 to -44, respectively, corresponding to two-stage model ages （tDM2： mainly focused on 1.88-3.0 Ga, and 3.2-3.90 Ga, respectively）. the εHf（t） values of the Jinduicheng porphyry more than that of the Balipo porphyry, and two-stage model ages （tDM2） less than that of the Balipo porphyry, shows that he source of the porphyries originated from ancient lower crustal materials in the Jinduicheng area, and mixed younger components, more younger components contributed for the source of the Jinduicheng porphyry.

Petrogenesis of Kejie Granite in the Northern Changning-Menglian Zone, Western Yunnan: Constraints from Zircon U-Pb Geochronology, Geochemistry and Hf Isotope

The Kejie pluton is located in the north of the Changning-Menglian suture zone. The rock types are mainly biotite-granite. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating indicates that the Kejie pluton emplaced at about 80-77 Ma, Late Cretaceous. The Kejie pluton samples are characterized by high SiO2 （71.68%-72.47%）, K2O （4.73%-5.54%）, total alkali （K2O ＋ Na2O = 8.21%-8.53%）, K2O/Na2O ratios （1.36-1.94） and low P2O5 （0.13%-0.17%）, with A/CNK of 1.025-1.055; enriched in U, Th, and K, depleted in Ba, Nb, St, Ti, P and Eu. They are highly fractionated, slightly peraluminous 1-type granite. The two samples of the Kejie pluton give a large variation of εHf（t） values （-5.04 to 1.96） and Hf isotope crustal model ages of 1.16-1.5 Ga. Zircon Hf isotopes and zircon saturation temperatures of whole-rock （801℃-823℃） show that the mantle-derived materials maybe have played a vital role in the generation of the Kejie pluton. The Kejie pluton was most likely generated in a setting associated with the eastward subduction of the neo-Tethys ocean, where intrusion of mantle wedge basaltic magmas in the crust caused the anatexis of the latter, forming hybrid melts, which subsequently experienced high-degree fractional crystallization.

Zircon Hf Isotope of Yingfeng Rapakivi Granites from the Quanji Massif and ～2.7 Ga Crustal Growth

The Quanji （全吉） Massif is located in the Northwest China, which is interpreted as a micro-continent that is composed of metamorphic basement and stable cover strata. There are some controversies of genetic relationship between the Quanji Massif and the major cratons in China. In this study, we obtained in situ zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopic compositions of the Yingfeng （鹰峰） rapakivi granites from the northwest Quanji Massif by application of LA-MC-ICP-MS technique. Twenty U-Pb age measurements points are concordant or near concordant, and their weighted mean 207pb/206pb age is 1 793.9±6.4 Ma （MSWD= 1.09）, yields an upper intercept age of 1 800±17 Ma （MSWD=0.41）; 19 Hf isotope measurements yield a two-stage Hf model ages （TDM2） of 2.63 to 2.81 Ga, with a weighted average age of about 2.70±0.02 Ga and till（t）values variate between -8.91 to -5.35. This indicates that magma source of the Yingfeng rapakivi granites were produced from partial melting of late stage of Neoarchean juvenile crust, and suggests a significant crustal growth event occurred in the Quanji Massif at that time. The Quanji Massif might be an ancient continental segment detached from the Tarim Craton based on the crustal growth history and other geological records. The Tarim Craton （including the Quanji Massif） and the North China Craton had a similar or homological early crustal evolution around -2.7 Ga, which implies that Tarim Craton might be one of the component parts of North China Craton. of the Yingfeng rapakivi granites were produced from partial melting of late stage of Neoarchean juve- nile crust, and suggests a significant crustal growth event occurred in the Quanji Massif at that time.

Petrogenesis and Ore Genesis of the Late Yanshanian Granites and Associated Porphyry-Skarn W-Mo Deposits from the Yunkai Area of South China： Evidence from the Zircon U-Pb Ages, Hf Isotopes and Sulfide S-Fe Isotopes

There are a wide range of magmatism and mineralization in the Yunkai area of South China during the Late Yanshanian Period, including the newly discovered Michang, Youmapo, Sanchaehong and Songwang porphyry-skarn W-Mo deposits. In this study, we obtained zircon U-Pb ages of the ore-bearing biotite granites and their mafic enclaves from 884-1 to 1104-1 Ma. Zircons from the granites show Hf isotopic compositions with negative C-Hf（t） values of -5.9 to -0.6 and calculated Hf model ages （TvM2） of 1.5-1.2 Ga; indicating that the Middle Proterozoic crustal materials may have provided an important source for the magmatic rocks in this district during the Late Yanshanian Period, whereas zircons from the mafic enclaves show positive era（t） values of 1.3 to 10.1 with younger Hf model ages （TDM2） of 0.5-1.1 Ga, suggesting a mantle component may have involved in the granitic magma generation. Sulfur isotope study of the sulfide minerals from the W-Mo deposits show a narrow 834S distribution with most data ranging from -4.2%0 to 5.2‰. In addition, this study reports the first Fe isotopic compositions of pyrite in the W-Mo deposits, which show a uniform distribution range with the values near zero （656Fe=0.16‰-0.58‰, average 0.35‰; 657Fe=0.02‰-0.54‰, average 0.48‰）. These data indicate that the ore-forming materials may come from the deep-sourced granitic magma, and the mineralizations show a close relationship with the granitic magmatism during the Late Yanshanian Period. Combining with previous results, we suggest that there is a widespread porphyry-skarn W-Mo mineralization in the Yunkai area during the Late Cretaceous （80-110 Ma）, which has a close relationship with the Late Yanshanian magmatism that may have formed during the rollback of the subducted Pacific Plate.

Piaoac Granites Related W-Sn Mineralization, Northern Vietnam: Evidences from Geochemistry, Zircon Geochronology and Hf Isotopes

Piaoac granites exposed in the Cao Bang region, northern Vietnam, are S-type granite, which are associated with W-Sn-Mo-Be-F mineralization. Zircon U-Pb ages, major and trace elements, mineral chemical and Hf isotopic compositions of the W-Sn-bearing granites from the Piaoac District have been investigated in detail. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of zircon grains from these granites yielded ages of 82.5±2.3 and 82±1.8 Ma, representing an episode of Late Cretaceous magmatic event. These granites are characterized by high peraluminous and have typical S-type geochemical signatures with high SiO_2(72.37 wt.%–73.07 wt.%), high A/CNK values(1.61–1.65) and Al_2O_3(14.4 wt.%–15 wt.%). They are enriched in Rb, U, K, Th, Ta and Pb and display pronounced negative Ba, Sr, Nb, Ti and Eu(Eu/Eu*=0.19–0.24) anomalies. The high degree of fractional crystallization is characterized by low Rb, Sr, Ba and Eu concentrations with high ratios of La/Sm and Eu/Eu*. Zircon grains show εHf(t) values from-9.69 to-0.9 and the corresponding TDM2 range from 1.2 to 1.7 Ga, indicating that these granites could be derived from the Proterozoic basement rocks with minor input from mantle-derived magmas. The calculation of Fe^(3+) and Fe^(2+) of biotites indicates a low oxygen fugacity condition(log fO_2 ranging from 10-17 to 10-18 bars, below MH), which is favorable for the W-Sn mineralization. Tungsten and tin have been enriched in granitic magmas through fractionation, and low oxygen fugacity conditions have promoted the accumulation and transportation of W-Sn in the hydrothermal fluids, leading to deposition of mineral phases. The geochemical data suggest that Piaoac granites formed in an extensional setting related with the Late Cretaceous magmatism occurring large-scale lithospheric extensional in South China Block.

Zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotopic characteristics of the Huangtuliang monzonitic granite, North Hebei Province, China

The Huangtuliang monzonitic granite outcrops on the northern side of the Huangtuliang gold mining district, Chicheng, North Hebei Province. 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.

Zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotope of Quanyishang A-type granite in Yichang: Signification for the Yangtze continental cratonization in Paleoproterozoic

Zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotope, and major and trace element compositions were reported for granite at Quanyishang, which intruded into the Kongling complex in Yichang, Hubei Province. The results show that the Quanyishang granite is rich in silicon and alkalis but poor in calcium and magnesium, and displays enrichment in Ga, Y, Zr, Nb but depletion in Sr and Ba, exhibiting the post-orogenic A-type affinity. 90% zircons from the granite are concordant, and give a middle Paleoproterozoic magmatic crystallization age (mean 1854 Ma). Initial Hf isotope ratios (176Hf/177Hf)i of the middle Paleoproterozoic zircons range from 0.280863 to 0.281134 and they have negative εHf(t) values with a minimum of -26.3. These zircons give the depleted mantle model ages (TDM) of 2.9―3.3 Ga (mean 3.0 Ga), and the average crustal model ages (Tcrust) of 3.6―4.2 Ga (mean 3.8 Ga). A Mesoarchean grain with 207Pb/206Pb age of 2859 Ma has a slightly high TDM (3.4 Ga) but similar Tcrust (3.8 Ga) to the Paleoproterozoic zircons. All these data suggest that the source materials of the Quanyishang A-type granite are unusually old, at least ≥2.9 Ga (even Eoarchean). The event of crustal remelting, which resulted in the formation of the Quanyishang granite in the middle Paleoproterozoic, recorded the cratonization of the Yangtze conti- nent. The process may have relation to the extension and collapse of the deep crust with Archean ages, in response to the transition stage of the assembly and breakup of the Columbia supercontinent.

Zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic characteristics of the Dehe biotite monzonitic gneiss pluton in the North Qinling orogen and their geological significance

The Dehe granitic pluton intruded the Xiahe Group which is in the core complex of the North Qinling Orogenic Belt(NQOB).It shows gneissic bedding and possesses typical S-type granite minerals such as muscovite and garnet.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb isotopic dating of the Dehe granite yielded a weighted average age of 925±23 Ma which represents the emplacement age of the pluton.Most of the εHf(t) values are negative,and the two-stage model ages are consistent with the age of the Qinling Group.The isotope data show that the Dehe granite was formed in the following geological setting:in the syn-collision setting of the NQOB in the Neoproterozoic,crustal thickening induced partial melting of materials derived from the Qinling complex,and then the maga upwelled and intruded into the Xiahe Group.The formation of the Dehe S-type granite implied the occurrence of a convergent event in the QOB during the Neoproterozoic.

Petrogenesis of highly fractionated I-type granites in the Zayu area of eastern Gangdese, Tibet: Constraints from zircon U-Pb geochronology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes

The Cretaceous granitoids in the middle and northern Gangdese, Tibet are generally interpreted as the products of anatexis of thickened deep crust genetically associated with the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision. This paper reports bulk-rock major element, trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic data, zircon U-Pb age data, and zircon Hf isotopic data on the Zayu pluton in eastern Gangdese, Tibet. These data shed new light on the petrogenesis of the pluton. Our SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age dates, along with LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb age dates recently reported in the literature, indicate that the Zayu pluton was emplaced at about 130 Ma, coeval with Early Cretaceous magmatic rocks in other areas of eastern Gangdese (e.g., Rawu, Baxoi areas) and the Middle Gangdese. The Zayu pluton samples lack amphibole and muscovite, and are compositionally characterized by high SiO2 (69.9%–76.8%), K2O (4.4%–5.7%), and low P2O5 (0.05%–0.12%). These samples also have A/CNK values of 1.00–1.05, and are enriched in Rb, Th, U, and Pb, and depleted in Ba, Nb, Ta, Sr, P, Ti, and Eu. These geochemical features suggest that the Zayu pluton samples are metaluminous to slightly peraluminous and are of highly fractionated I-type granite. The Zayu pluton samples have high ? Nd(t) values (?10.9–?7.6) and low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7120–0.7179) relative to melts derived from mature continental crust in the Gangdese (e.g., Ningzhong Early Jurassic strongly peraluminous granite). The Zayu pluton samples are heterogeneous in zircon ? Hf(t) values (?12.8–?2.9), yielding ancient zircon Hf crustal model ages of 1.4–2.0 Ga. The data obtained in this study together with the data in the recent literature suggest that the Early Cretaceous granitoids in eastern Gangdese represent the eastward extension of the Early Cretaceous magmatism in the middle Gangdese, and that the Lhasa micro-continent block with ancient basement may extend for ～2000 km from east to west. Zircon Hf isotopic data and bulk-rock zircon saturation temperature (789–821 °C) indicate that mantle-derived materials likely played a role in the generation of the Zayu pluton. We propose that the Zayu pluton was most likely generated in a setting associated with southward subduction of the Bangong-Nujiang ocean floor, where mantle wedge-derived magmas may have provided the heat and material for the anatexis of ancient crust of the Lhasa micro-continent, resulted in hybrid melts (i.e., mantle-derived basaltic magmas + crust-derived felsic magmas). Such hybrid melts with subsequent fractional crystallization are responsible for the highly evolved Zayu pluton (crust thickening is not a prerequisite).

Hf isotope composition of zircons and implication for the petrogenesis of Yajiangqiao granite,Hunan Province,China

In the peralumineous granite of Yajiangqiao zircon population can be divided into two groups (i.e. Zircon Ⅰ and Zircon Ⅱ), which were formed in magmatic chamber and in emplacement place, respectively. The Hf isotope compositions of two stages of zircon show that the host magma was essentially derived from crustal material by melting. However, some higher 176Hf/177Hf ratios indicate that the granitic zircons should contain fine crystal of zircon formed in mantle-derived magma. In fact, the backscattered electron imaging and the electron microprobe analysis reveal that there is another type of zircon included within Zircon Ⅰ, which is quite different from Zircon Ⅰ and Zircon Ⅱ in morphology and chemistry. They are considered to be the product of the mantle-derived magma intruded into the granitic magma chamber at the beginning of anatexis. Thus, it is suggested that the formation of Yajiangqiao granite is related to the underplating of mantle magma.

Role of mantle-derived magma in genesis of early Yanshanian granites in the Nanling Range, South China: in situ zircon Hf-O isotopic constraints

Although a number of petrographic observations and isotopic data suggest that magma mixing is common in genesis of many granite plutons, it is still controversial whether the mantle-derived magmas were involved in granites. We carried out in this study a systematic analysis of in situ zircon Hf-O isotopes for three early Yanshanian intrusions dated at ca. 160 Ma from the Nanling Range of Southeast China. The Qinghu monzonite has very homogeneous zircon Hf-O isotopic compositions, εHf(t) =11.6±0.3 and δ18O=5.4‰±0.3‰. In combination with whole-rock geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic data, the parental magma of the Qinghu monzonite were likely derived from the partial melting of recently-metasomatized, phlogopite-bearing lithospheric mantle without appreciable crustal contamination. The Lisong and Fogang granites and the mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) within the Lisong granites have a wide range of zircon Hf-O isotopic compositions, with Hf and O isotopes being negatively correlated within each pluton. The Lisong MMEs were crystallized from a mantle-derived magma, similar to the parental magma of the Qinghu monzonite, with small amount of crustal assimilation. The Lisong and Fogang granites were formed by reworking of meta-sedimentary materials by mantle-derived magmas and mixing of the mantle-and sediment-derived melts to varying degrees. It is thus concluded that these two Yanshanian granites in the Nanling Range were formed associated with growth and differentiation of continental crust.

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Significance of Shenxianshui Alkaline Granite in Gejiu,Yunnan Province,China

The Shenxianshui granites in the western Gejiu area were formed in the Late Cretaceous.Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry indicates zircon U-Pb ages ranging from 90.67±0.7 to 85.97±0.6 Ma.The intrusive rocks are peraluminous(A/CNK=1.03 to 1.33)and calc-alkaline,showing an affinity towards I-type granite.Large ion lithophilic elements are enriched in K and Rb,while high field strength elements are depleted.Moreover,light rare earth elements are significantly enriched,showing a slight negative Eu anomaly(Eu/Eu^(*)=0.39 to 0.58).Shenxianshui granite has a relatively high initial Sr isotope ratio(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)_(i)(0.7098-0.7105),negative ε_(Nd)(t)values(−7.99 to−7.44)and negative ε_(Hf)(t)values(−8.37 to−2.58).Combined with previous studies,these characteristics suggest that the Shenxianshui alkaline granites were formed in a post-collision extensional environment.The alkaline granitic magma possibly originated from the partial melting of the lower crust during the Mesoproterozoic era and may have contained mantle source materials.Shenxianshui alkaline granite was formed from mixed magma with a high degree of crystal differentiation.The abundance of ore-forming elements indicates that Shenxianshui granite has the potential to mineralize key metals and rare earth elements.

Hf isotopic composition of zircons from the Huashan-Guposhan intrusive complex and their mafic enclaves in northeastern Guangxi:Implication for petrogenesis

High precision zircon U-Pb dating indicates that main intrusive bodies (Tong'an,Niumiao,Huashan,Lisong),and a mafic microgranular enclave in the Huashan-Guposhan complex were formed at 160-163 Ma.The εHf(t) values of zircons from the Huashan granite vary from -2.8 to +0.3 and those from the Lisong granite vary from -2.3 to +0.3,which are obviously different with those values (+2.6 to +7.4) of the mafic enclaves from the Lisong granite.These Hf isotopic data indicate that the mafic enclaves and host granites were crystallized from different sources of magmas,providing evidence for mafic-felsic magma mixing processes.The highest εHf(t) value of zircons from the mafic enclaves is up to +7.4,indicating that the mafic magma was originated from a relatively depleted mantle source.Studies on regional geology and the contemporaneous mafic and alkaline rocks in this area indicate that the mafic magma was not originated from reworking of basaltic juvenile crust,but from partial melting of the mantle.However,it remains to be resolved whether the mafic magma was derived from partial melting of the asthenosphere or the lithospheric mantle.The Huashan granite and the Lisong granite were formed from hybrid magma of mantle-derived and crust-derived magmas,and the mafic enclaves are considered as remains of mantle-derived magma during mixing processes.The εHf(t) values of zircons from the Niumiao diorite vary from -1.1 to +2.1,and those from the Tong'an quartz monzonite vary from -1.7 to +1.7.These values are lower than those from the mafic enclaves,suggesting that the diorite and monzonite were formed from different source-derived magmas with the mafic enclaves.The εHf(t) values for the Niumiao diorite and the Tong'an monzonite are only slightly higher than those for the Hushan granite and the Lisong granite.Abundant mafic enclaves also occur in the Niumiao diorite and in the Tong'an monzonite.Thus,we suggest that the Niumiao diorite and the Tong'an monzonite were probably also formed from the same hybrid magma as the granites but come through less degree of fractional crystallization and crustal contamination.The strong mantle-derived and crust-derived magma mixing caused by an intense crustal extension and thinning in the Mid-Late Jurassic may be the major mechanism for generating the diorites and granites in southeastern Hunan and northeastern Guangxi belt in South China.

川西九龙白台花岗岩地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成及其稀有金属成矿意义

为揭示川西九龙白台花岗岩成因及其与稀有金属成矿的关系,笔者等对白台花岗岩开展了岩相学、岩石地球化学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学、锆石微量元素地球化学、Hf同位素地球化学测试。结果显示,白台黑云母二长花岗岩具高SiO_(2)(69.01%~70.55%)、高K_(2)O(3.86%~4.99%)、高碱(K_(2)O+Na_(2)O=7.41%~8.18%),低CaO(1.49%~2.2%)、低MgO(0.44%~0.57%)等特征,里特曼指数σ=2.03~2.43,A/CNK=1.07~1.14,为弱过铝质的高钾钙碱性系列岩石;微量元素特征显示相对富集Rb、K等大离子亲石元素,相对亏损Nb、P、Hf等高场强元素;球粒陨石标准化的稀土元素配分模式为明显的轻稀土富集和重稀土亏损的右倾型。白台黑云母二长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为(213~212)Ma,ε_(Hf)(t)值为-7.4~-1.1,Hf同位素二阶模式年龄T_(DM2)为(1.6~1.2)Ga。研究结果表明,白台花岗岩形成于后碰撞伸展背景,是在松潘—甘孜地块遭受挤压碰撞后,增厚的岩石圈地幔拆沉,软流圈地幔物质上涌后发生减压熔融形成的晚三叠世I型花岗岩。同时,笔者等认为白台伟晶岩型铍矿床与白台花岗岩密切相关,是该花岗岩体残余岩浆热液分异的产物。

华南地区发育大规模与稀有金属成矿相关的燕山期花岗岩,其岩石类型与成因存在诸多争议,厘清这些争议有助于理解华南地区的成矿作用。锆石是花岗岩中常见的副矿物,具有非常稳定的物理化学性质,不容易受后期地质作用影响,可以很好地保存其形成时母岩浆的地球化学信息,从而避免全岩地球化学分析的不足。本研究选取华南地区佛冈–南昆山花岗岩中的锆石进行LA-ICP-MS微量元素和Hf同位素研究,结合SIMS氧同位素和H_(2)O含量等数据,探讨佛冈岩体和南昆山岩体的岩石类型和成因。两个岩体的锆石都呈现LREE亏损、HREE富集、Eu负异常、Ce正异常,以及Zr/Hf>55、Eu/Eu~*>0.005、Hf含量低(<1.2%)等特点,明显不同于高分异I型花岗岩,指示母岩浆分异程度较低。同时,锆石的REE+Y与P含量之间的关系表明它们也不是S型花岗岩。佛冈岩体锆石较高的δ18O值(7.97‰~10.29‰)、富集的εHf(t)值(-13.6~-5.7)、较低的H_(2)O含量(核密度峰值317~412μg/g)以及较高的锆饱和温度(799~800℃)表明,佛冈花岗岩可能是源区有高比例沉积物加入的A型花岗岩。南昆山岩体也具有类似的、但变化范围更大的锆石δ18O值(6.34‰~11.11‰)、εHf(t)值(-11.1~1.1)和H_(2)O含量(297~1253μg/g)。锆石Hf-O同位素和H_(2)O含量分析结果显示,二者均具有壳幔混合的特点,其中南昆山花岗岩源区地幔物质加入比例更大。

西秦岭天水地区志留纪利桥花岗岩的岩石成因——来自地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学与Hf同位素的约束

花岗岩在探讨大陆地壳生长与演化、造山带的形成及地球动力学演化等方面具有重要的意义。西秦岭天水地区利桥花岗岩主要由斜长石、石英、钾长石和黑云母等矿物组成,锆石U-Pb年代学表明岩体结晶年龄为439±3 Ma。利桥花岗岩具有高硅、富碱的特征,其铝饱和指数A/CNK值介于1.01~1.16之间,属于弱过铝质高钾钙碱性-钙碱性花岗岩。利桥花岗岩富集K、Ba等大离子亲石元素和La、Ce等轻稀土元素,亏损Nb、Ta和Ti等高场强元素,显示具有俯冲带岛弧岩浆岩的地球化学特征。利桥花岗岩具有较低的Mg#值(25~41),且La/Yb-La、La/Sm-La图解显示该花岗岩在形成明显与部分熔融作用相关,此外岩体中的镁铁质微粒包体和正的锆石εHf(t)值,表明这些花岗岩在形成过程中有幔源物质的贡献。结合区域地质背景,我们认为利桥花岗岩是弧-陆碰撞前俯冲洋壳中先存的基性岩或新生地壳发生部分熔融所致,当然也不排除其为大陆边缘弧增厚下地壳部分熔融的产物。

Early Cretaceous A-type Granites in the Dandong Area,NE China and its Geodynamical Implications

A-type granites,as an important petrologic sign to build up environmental recognition,were mainly formed in extensional tectonic settings.A biotite syenogranite from the Fenghuangshan pluton in Dandong,Liaoning Province gave SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages of 122.5±1.6 Ma,124.9±1.7 Ma and 126.9±1.1 Ma.The monzogranites have SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages of 118.2±1.6 Ma,128.1±1.7 Ma and 131.6±1.9 Ma,giving an emplacement age for the pluton in the Early Cretaceous.SiO_(2) is 65.48-74.49 wt%,whereas that of K_(2)O is 4.16-6.44 wt%,and that of Na_(2)O is 2.99-4.70 wt%.They also contain 13.24-15.76 wt% of Al_(2)O_(3),with an A/CNK ratio of 0.92-1.10,averaging 1.02.The alkalinity rate(AR)ranges from 2.68 to 5.12,and this range is within the AR of peraluminous type rocks.The granites of Fenghuangshan pluton are characterized by high contents of Na and K and low contents of Ca(thermophile element)and Mg,which are features of A-type granites.The(Na_(2)O+K_(2)O)-Fe_(2)O_(3)^(*)×5-(CaO+MgO)×5 discrimination diagram also shows that Fenghuangshan pluton is an A2-type granite.The above granite has zircon ε_(Hf)(t)values ranging from-17.06 to-9.09,with single-stage Hf model ages(T_(DM))of 1141 Ma to 1498 Ma and two-stage Hf crustal model ages(T_(DM)^(C))of 1762 Ma to 2263Ma.A comprehensive analysis suggests that the Fenghuangshan pluton might have been formed from the lithospheric-plate sliding during the late stages of evolution of hot rift structures and might have been closely associated with the tectonic settings of Mesozoic Eurasia and the ancient Pacific Plate.
