    Geochronological and Geochemical study of Palaeoproterozoic gneissic granites and clinopyroxenite xenoliths from NW Fujian, SE China Implications for the crustal evolution of the Cathaysia Block [查看] Long-MingLiMinSunYuejunWangGuangfuXingGuochunZhaoKedaCaiYuzhiZhang
    U–Pb zircon dating of gneissic granite samples in northwestern Fujian Province, Southeast China, gave Neoarchean to Palaeoproterozoic ages (2.6–1.9 Ga) for the rounded zircon cores and Palaeoproterozoic upper intercept ages (1851 ± 21 Ma, 1857 ± 29 Ma, respectively) for zoned rims that have oscillatory growth zoning and yield eHf(t) values between 8.8 and +3.7 and TDM model ages between 2.1 and 2.6 Ga. These gneissic granites are peraluminous (A/CNK = 0.94–1.28), characterized by high SiO2 (68–72 wt.%), Al2O3 (14–15 wt.%) and low CaO, MgO, FeOt, TiO2 and P2O5 contents. They also possess relatively low REE contents and moderate LREE/HREE fractionation and display pronounced negative anomalies in Nb, Ta, Sr, P and Ti. All these features indicate that the precursor magmas were likely formed by partial melting of sedimentary rocks.Clinopyroxenite xenoliths with gneissosity structures are found in these gneissic granites and they have high MgO, Ni and Cr, but low contents of TiO2, and are characterized by high CaO/Al2O3 (4.1–5.3),low Al2O3/TiO2 ratios (8.7–9.5) and HREE depletion. These features are similar to the typical Al-depleted type komatiites. Their geochemical characteristics, such as high (Gd/Yb)N and low HREE, Y, Zr and Hf suggest partial melting of the upper mantle source with residual garnet. The negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies indicate a strong arc-related affinity.Our results and recently published data for granitic and mafic basement rocks in this region, reveal that 1.85 Ga was an important period for the evolution of the Cathaysia Block, possibly related to the Columbia supercontinent assembly. Large amount of granitic magma was emplaced, probably as a result of partial melting of old Neoarchean to Palaeoproterozoic materials.
    Petrogenesis of late Triassic post-collisional basaltic rocks of the Lancangjiang tectonic zone, southwest China, and tectonic implications for the evolution of the eastern Paleotethys Geochronological and geochemical [查看] YuejunWangAimeiZhangWeimingFanToupingPengFeifeiZhangYanhuaZhangXiawuBi
    The Xiaodingxi and Manghuihe volcanic sequences represent key components of the Lancangjiang igneous zone in southwest China. Their petrogenesis provides important constraints on the tectonic evolution of the eastern Paleotethys ocean. The basaltic rocks from the Xiaodingxi and Manghuihe sequences yield SHRIMP zircon U–Pb weighted mean ages of 214±7 Ma and 210±22 Ma, respectively, which is 15–20 Ma younger than the ages of the syn-collisional granite magmatism (230–241 Ma). Samples from the volcanic sequences are dominated by alkaline basalts and basaltic andesites, and can be geochemically classified into two groups. Group 1 samples, mainly from the Xiaodingxi sequence and the lower part of the Manghuihe sequence, are characterized by low MgO(1.49–7.50 wt.%) and Zr/Nb (9.4–15.3), and high Al2O3 (15.95–18.39 wt.%). They are enriched in LILE and LREE contents and depleted in HFSE, and have 87Sr/86Sr(t) ratios of 0.705473–0.706972,εNd(t) of −1.47–0.75, and similar Pb isotopic compositions to the global average composition of pelagic sediments. In contrast, Group 2 samples from the middle–upper parts of the Manghuihe sequence have similar Al2O3 (16.62–18.23 wt.%) but higher MgO (8.08–11.74 wt.%) and Zr/Nb (15.9–23.9) than those of Group 1 samples. They exhibit relatively flat REE patterns, significantly negative Nb–Ta and Th–U anomalies and positive Sr anomalies. In comparison with Group 1, Group 2 samples show higher Cr, Ni contents and εNd(t) values (1.17–5.02), and lower 87Sr/86Sr(t) and Pb isotopic ratios (Δ8/4=43.2–59.8 andΔ7/4=11.8–19.8). The geochemical data suggest that Group 1 samples might be the differentiated product of primitive high MgO and low Al2O3 melts originating from a refractory modified mantle with the involvement of 5–10% recycled pelagic sediments. The parental magma for Group 2 samples may have been derived from a plagioclase-rich,garnet-free source comprising 80–85% fluid-metasomatized and 15–20% asthenospheric components. Based on all available data, a tectonic model involving eastward subduction in the Permian and collision in the Triassic can be proposed for the evolution of the eastern Paleotethys ocean. During the late Triassic, the progressive upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle, shortly after slab detachment, may have led to the melting of the metasomatized mantle wedge, resulting in the post-collisional Group 1 and Group 2 magmas.
