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 eHf(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.     

Discovery of the Early Paleozoic post-collisional granites in northern margin of the Erguna massif and its geological significance

The Luoguhe intrusion, located in Mohe County, Heilongjiang Province, is mainly composed of monzogranite, quartz diorite and granodiorite, with minor diorite, tonalite, quartz monzodiorite, quartz monzonite, syenogranite and alkali-feldspar granite. The intrusion can be divided into two iithological units, i.e. quartz diorite and monzogranite units, with affinities to high-K caic-alkaline series. The quartz diorite unit （SiO2： 54.79%-58.30%, Na2O/CaO： 0.79-1.53 and Shand index： 0.77-0.82） belongs to metaluminous rocks. And the monzogranite unit （SiO2： 65.29%-66.45%, Na2O/CaO： 1.73-3.43 and Shand index 〈1.05） can be considered as weakly peraluminous rocks. The intrusion is characterized by high REE abundance （∑REE = 180.2-344.3μg/g）, medium-strong negative Eu anomalies （δEu = 0.33-0.82）, weak REE fractionation [（La/Yb）N = 4.12-10.45], enrichments in Rb, Th, U, K, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, Zr and Sm, but strong depletions of Ba, Nb, Ta, Sr, P and Ti. These characteristics of major, REE and trace elements indicate that the intrusion was formed in a transitional tectonic setting from compressionai to extensional regime, which can be classified as post-collisional granitoids. SHRIMP U-Pb zircon analyses yield ages of 517±9 and 504±8 Ma for the quartz diorite and monzogranite units, respectively. The discovery of Early Paleozoic post-collisionai granites in the northern margin of the Erguna massif indicates that the northern branch of Paleo-Asian Ocean between Siberian plate and Erguna massif was closed in the Early Paleozoic and the Salair orogeny ended ca. 500 Ma ago.

通过对哈尔滨东部地区海西期钾长花岗岩年代学、地球化学特征的研究,讨论兴蒙造山带的演化.研究区钾长花岗岩呈肉红色细粒,主要由钾长石、斜长石、石英和黑云母组成.岩石中siO2的质量分数为74.70％～75.70％,为酸性岩.Al2 O3的质量分数为12.07％～13.18％;Na2O+K2O的质量分数为7.78％～8.09％,K2O/Na2O为0.93％～1.60％.里特曼指数为1.85～2.06.∑REE的质量分数为96.32×10-6～172.83×10-6,δEu为0.21～0.77,为铕负异常;铝饱和指数为0.88～1.12,属于高钾钙碱性花岗岩,与造山带垮塌导致的大规模岩石圈伸展作用有关.该花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锫石U-Pb年龄为(298.54士0.86) Ma(MSWD=0.94),属于晚石炭世,形成于古亚洲洋闭合后兴安地块和松嫩地块碰撞拼合后的伸展作用.     

武夷地块黎川铝质A型花岗岩成因及其地质意义

华南早古生代花岗岩的成因和后碰撞伸展环境的形成机制仍存在争议。选择华南早古生代黎川花岗岩开展锆石U-Pb同位素、全岩地球化学研究,探讨其成因并分析后碰撞伸展环境的起始时间及形成机制。黎川岩体形成于443 Ma,属于志留纪兰多维列世岩浆活动的产物。样品属于高硅、富钾的高钾钙碱性花岗岩系列;其A/CNK值为1.04 ~ 1.39,显示过铝质花岗岩特征。样品微量元素显示亏损Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti,富集Rb、Th、U、K、Pb等元素;轻稀土相对富集,强Eu负异常（δEu=0.27~0.74）。其具有低εNd(t)值（-8.4 ~ -9.8）、高（87Sr/86Sr）i值（0.478 83 ~ 0.723 64）、高104×Ga/Al（3.24 ~ 4.19）比值的特征。上述特征表明,黎川花岗岩属于A型岩浆岩范畴。元素和同位素地球化学特征显示,黎川过铝质A型花岗岩可能是前寒武纪变质沉积岩部分熔融的产物。结合华南早古生代武夷-云开造山运动的高级变质岩和花岗岩的年代学特征,笔者认为华南早古生代武夷地块自志留纪兰多维列世开始就从同碰撞环境转变为后碰撞伸展环境;该伸展环境可能是受到地壳迅速减薄,热地幔岩浆底侵导致造山带深部和壳幔相互熔融的影响。     

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating on Nyainqentanglha granite in central Lhasa block

The Nyainqentanglha granite, a batholith with an area of 1500 km^2 in the central Lhasa block, comprises mainly medium-fine-grained biotite monzonitic granite and medium-coarse-grained biotite monzonitic granite. Their contact relationship suggests that the medlum-fine-grained biotite monzonitic granite was crystallized earlier than the medium-coarse-grained monzonitic granite. A SHRIMP U-Pb dating on zircons from representative samples of the batholith shows that the crystallization age of the medium-fine-grained biotite monzonitic granite is 18.3 Ma and that of the medium-coarse-grained monzonitic granite is 11.01 Ma. The emplacement and crystallization of the Nyainqentanglha granite, the youngest granite batholith ever known inside the Lhasa block, have a close relationship with the collisional orogeny, crustal thickening, plateau uplifting,E-W crustal extension and have a dynamic genetic relationship with the crustal partial melting.

Paleoproterozoic mafic dyke from Kongling terrain in the Yangtze Craton and its implication

Mafic dyke is a sign of regional extension, and thus has important tectonic significance. A great amount of mafic dykes occur in the Kongling terrain of the Yangtze Craton, which have great bearing on the early evolution of the Yangtze Craton. Their ages, however, have not been well constrained. In this paper we report an integrated study of zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotope compositions for a mafic dyke in the Kongling terrain. The zircons yielded a weighted mean ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 1852±11Ma, which represents its intrusion age. They have ɛ _Hf(t) values of −6.3 to 0.5, with a weighted mean of −3.06±0.88, suggesting that the mafic dyke came from metasomatic mantle. The results indicate that the Yangtze Block had transformed into post-collisional extensional regime at ca. 1850 Ma. In the same period, the Yangtze Craton shows enough rigidity to produce brittle rupture, and thus has the characteristics of a craton.

Paleoproterozoic lower crust beneath Nushan in Anhui Province： Evidence from zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating on granulite xenoliths in Cenozoic alkali basalt

Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating was carried out for an intermediate granulite xenolith in Cenozoic alkali basalt from Nushan. The results suggest that the lower crust beneath Nushan may have formed at about 2400—2200 Ma, and have been subjected to granulite-facies metamorphism at 1915 27 Ma. The old age of the Nushan lower crust is consistent with the geochemical similarities between Nushan granulite xenoliths and Archean-Paleoproterozoic granulite terrains in the North China craton, but it is not distinguishable from high-grade metamorphic rocks in the Yangtze craton where such old ages were also reported. Significant Pb-loss occurs in the Nushan zircons, implying important influence of widespread Mesozoic to Cenozoic underplating in East China on the lower crust beneath Nushan.     

辽西万家沟地区钾长花岗岩年代学、岩石地球化学特征及其地质意义

为厘定辽西万家沟地区钾长花岗岩的形成时代及成因,对其进行了年代学和元素地球化学研究。结果表明：钾长花岗岩U-Pb同位素年龄为(155.9±1.8)Ma,岩石具有富Si、Al、Na、K,贫Mg、Ca、Ti等特征,轻稀土元素相对富集,大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、Ta等相对亏损,高场强元素Ba、Sr、Zr、Hf等相对富集,具较弱的铕和铈负异常。结合区域构造背景,认为研究区钾长花岗岩形成于晚侏罗世古太平洋板块向华北克拉通持续俯冲的构造环境背景,成因可能为古太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲导致幔源岩浆上侵使地壳发生部分熔融有关。

Age of the Shahewan rapakivi granite in the Qinling Orogen, China, and its constraints on the end time of the main orogenic stage of this orogen

The Qinling Mountains in central China are a joint orogenic zone between the Sino-Korean (or North China) and the Yangtze (or South China) craton blocks, the two major tectonic units of eastern Asia. On the end time of the main orogenic stage in this orogenic belt there are different opinions. The⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar Rb-Sr and zircon U-Pb ages of a recently discovered rapakivi granite in the Qinling Orogenic Belt are reported and the end time of the main orogenic stage for subduction-collision in this belt is discussed.     

Single zircon LAM－ICPMS U－Pb dating of Guidong complex （SE China） and its petrogenetic significance

Because of the strong effects of the Caledonian and Indosinian orogenies and Yanshanian magmatism since early Paleozoic time, different types of granites and ore deposits occur widely in the Nanling region of SE China[1]. The Guidong complex is situated at the border between the South Jiangxi—North Guangdong post-Caledonian orogenic belt and the Hercynian-Indosinian belt, which is constrained by an E-W regional deep fault (Guidong-Da- dongshan deep fault) and therefore is elongated nea…     

Ages and tectonic significance of the collision-related granite porphyries in the Lhunzhub Basin, Tibet, China

The Paleocene collision-related granite porphyries are identified for the first time along the western margin of the Lhunzhub Basin, Tibet. SHRIMP U-Pb zircon analysis indicates that the granite porphyries were emplaced at 58.7±1.1 Ma (MSWD = 0.79) during the Indo-Asian continental collision. The granite porphyries are peraluminous and high in K, belonging to the calc-alkaline to high-K calc-alkaline series. They are relatively enriched in LILE, Th and LREE and depletion in Ba, Nb, P and Ti, characterized by LREE-enriched patterns with slightly to moderately negative Eu anomalies. These Paleocene granite porphyries are interpreted as the products generated by partial melting of the pre-existing arc crustal rocks caused by the increase of pressures and temperatures during the crustal shortening at the early stages of the Indo-Asian continental collision since 65 Ma. Despite inherited geochemical features and tectonic settings of the arc protoliths, they are significantly different from the volcanic rocks of the Dianzhong Formation within the Linzizong Group and the Miocene granite por- phyries in the Gangdise belt.     

黑龙江金厂金矿花岗斑岩锆石地球化学、U-Pb年代学及地质意义

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating for Qiashikansayi granodiorite, the Northern Altyn Tagh Mountains and its geological implications

The Qiashikansayi granodiorite is foliated resulting in a granodioritic gneiss. Its geochemical features, such as alumina saturation index(A/CNK) of 0.81-0.99, Na2O/K2O values>1, TiO2 contents <1.0%, LREE enrichment with high fractionation factors, weakly negative or no Eu anomalies, and significant Ba and Ti negative anomalies, suggest that it is similar to a typical island arc pluton. The trace elements of the Qiashikansayi granodiorite are plotted in the island arc field in the tectonic setting discrimination diagrams as well. Cathodoluminescence images demonstrated that the zircons have clear rhythmic crystallized zoning, without any remnant core and new crystallized rim, suggesting the zircons be magmatic ones. Their U and Th contents vary in the range of 574-870 μg/g, and 279-556μg/g respectively, with the Th/U ratio in the range of 0.52-0.68. SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating yielded the 481.5±5.3 Ma age for the intrusion of the granodiorite, which is coeval with the island arc volcanic rocks in the no

Emplacement age of the Tahe granite and its constraints on the tectonic nature of the Ergun block in the northern part of the Da Hinggan Range

Large-scale granitic plutons are exposed in the Ergun block in the northern part of the Da Hinggan Range, but their emplacement age and petrogenesis remain unknown. Of these plutons, the Tahe pluton is composed mainly of porphyritic syenogranite and monzogranite, with minor hornblende alkali feldspar granite and gabbro, which have affinities to post-orogenic granitoids. Laser-ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass-spectroscope （LA-ICP-MS） analysis shows that the major rock types of the Tahe pluton formed at 494- 480 Ma ago, indicating its emplacement in the Early Paleozoic. It is concluded, therefore, that the collision between the Ergun and the Xing＇an blocks ended in Early Paleozoic. Considering the geochronological data of the plutons in the adjacent areas, the Early Paleozoic evolutionary history of the Ergun block is similar to the central Mongolia and the Tuvino blocks in Mongolia, and the Ergun block should be a part of the accretionary continental margin in the southern Siberian Craton.
