    Geochemical, zircon U–Pb dating and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic constraints on the age and petrogenesis of an Early Cretaceous volcanic-intrusive complex at Xiangshan,Southeast China [查看] Shui-YuanYang、Shao-YongJiang、Yao-HuiJiang、Kui-DongZhao、Hong-HaiFan
    The Late Mesozoic geology of Southeast China is characterized by extensive Jurassic to Cretaceous magmatism consisting predominantly of granites and rhyolites and subordinate mafic rocks, forming a belt of volcanic-intrusive complexes. The Xiangshan volcanicintrusive complex is located in the NW region of the belt and mainly contains the following lithologies: rhyodacite and rhyodacitic porphyry, porphyritic lava, granite porphyry with mafic microgranular enclaves, quartz monzonitic porphyry, and lamprophyre dyke. Major and trace-element compositions, zircon U–Pb dating, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions have been investigated for these rocks. The precise SHRIMP and LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb dating shows that the emplacement of various magmatic units at Xiangshan took place within a short time period of less than 2 Myrs. The stratigraphically oldest rhyodacite yielded a zircon U–Pb age of 135±1 Ma and the overlying rhyodacitic porphyry has an age of 135±1 Ma. Three porphyritic lava samples yielded zircon U–Pb ages of 136±1 Ma, 132±1 Ma, and 135±1 Ma, respectively. Two subvolcanic rocks (granite porphyry) yielded zircon U–Pb ages of 137±1 Ma and 137±1 Ma. A quartz monzonitic porphyry dyke, which represented the final stage of magmatism at Xiangshan, also yielded a zircon U–Pb age of 136±1 Ma. All these newly obtained precise U–Pb ages demonstrate that the entire magmatic activity at Xiangshan was rapid and possibly took place at the peak of extensional tectonics in SE China. The geochemical data indicate that all these samples from the volcanic-intrusive complex have an A-type affinity. Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data suggest that the Xiangshan volcanic-intrusive complex derived mainly from remelting of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic crust without significant additions of mantle-derived magma. However, the quartz monzonitic porphyry, which has zircon Hf model ages older than the whole-rock Nd model ages, and which has εNd(T) value higher than the other rocks, may indicate involvement of a subordinate younger mantle-derived magma in its origin. Geochemical data indicate that the various rocks show variable REE patterns and negative anomalies of Ba, Nb, Sr, P, Eu and Ti in the trace element spidergrams, suggesting that these rocks may have undergone advanced fractional crystallization with separation of plagioclase, K-feldspar and accessory minerals such as allanite. We suggest that this Cretaceous volcanic-intrusive complex formed in an extensional environment, and the formation of the Xiangshan mafic microgranular enclaves can be explained by the injection of mafic magma from a deeper seated mantle magma chamber into a hypabyssal felsic magma chamber at the crustal emplacement levels.
    Age, geochemistry and tectonic setting of the Neoproterozoic (ca 830 Ma) gabbros on the southern margin of the North China Craton [查看] Xiao-LeiWan、Shao-YongJiang、Bao-ZhangDai、W.L.Griffin、Meng-NingDai、Yue-HengYang
    Many studies have addressed the Paleozoic to Triassic collisional processes along the southern margins of the North China Craton (NCC), but little is known about the evolution of this margin during Precambrian time. This paper examines the geochronology and geochemistry of gabbros from the Luanchuan Group,which is located on the southern margin of the NCC. These gabbros are dated at ca 830 Ma by SHRIMP and LA–ICP-MS zircon U–Pb methods. They are characterized by high contents of TiO2 (2.21–4.45 wt%) and light-REEs (rare earth elements) ((La/Yb)N = 9.54–7.71). The gabbros have overall OIB (ocean island basalts)-like trace element patterns, without the positive Pb and Sr anomalies and negative Nb–Ta anomalies. In addition, they have low La/Nb (<1.5) and La/Ta (<30) ratios, indicating an origin in the asthenospheric mantle. The depletions of HFSEs (high field strength elements) (e.g. Zr–Hf and Ti) probably suggest that their source has been metasomatized by carbonates. The gabbros show negative εNd(t)(−1.5 to −3.0), suggesting crustal contamination or mixing with metasomatized lithospheric mantle. However, the low Th and U contents, constant incompatible-element ratios (e.g. Zr/Nb, La/Nb, La/Sm) and the absences of correlations of εNd(t) with MgO, Nb/Nb*, SiO2 or 1/Nd preclude significant crustal contamination. Alternatively, the wide range of Hf–isotope ratios in zircons (εHf(t) from −3.6 to +6.3) may imply the interaction between asthenosphere-derived melts and the metasomatized lithospheric mantle. Petrological modeling suggests that the gabbros may have been generated from the low-degree(2–3%) partial melting of lherzolite with 2% garnet at depths greater than 85 km. The gabbros may have been generated in a within-plate rift setting. The gabbros may best be correlated with the Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks in the NQB (North Qinling Belt), representing the relicts onto the southern margin of the NCC following the Neoproterozoic rifting between the NCC and the NQB. Therefore, the NCC and NQB may have been connected at ca 830 Ma. Moreover, the occurrence of the gabbros implies that the present southern margin of the NCC may have been mixed with late Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic crustal materials from the NQB. The new findings imply that the southern margin of the NCC has been the locus of at least three extension-convergence cycles, and the reactivation of such tectonic margins may be more common in the geological record than previously recognized.
    Subducting sediment-derived arc granitoids evidence from the Datong pluton and its quenched enclaves in the western Kunlun orogen, northwest China [查看] Shi-YongLiao、Yao-HuiJiangShao-YongJiang、Wan-ZhiYang、QingZhou、Guo-DongJin、PengZhao
    Abstract This paper presents detailed SHRIMP zircon U–Pb chronology, mineral chemistry, major and trace element, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotope geochemistry of the Datong pluton and its quenched enclaves from the western Kunlun orogen, northwest China, in an attempt to achieve a better understanding on the origin of diverse arc magmas. The Datong host granitoids are intermediate to acid in composition (SiO2=57.5~73.1 wt.%), and exhibit high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic affinities.The quenched enclaves are silica-rich ultrapotassic rocks. Detailed SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating indicates that the Datong pluton was emplaced in Ordovician time (473.4–447.7 Ma), which places the Datong pluton in an active continental margin setting, rather than a syn-collision setting of Early Silurian age. The Datong host granitoids were derived by partial melting of subducted sediments, with the subsequent melt interacting with the overlying mantle wedge during its ascent. Partial melting of the veined mantle wedge hybridized by sediment-derived melts generated the silicarich ultrapotassic magma, which was injected into the Datong granitoid magma chamber and quenched, resulting in enclaves hosted by granitoids. This contribution provides evidence that arc magmas can be derived directly by partial melting of subducted sediments, which is helpful to further understand the origin of diverse arc magmas.
