Abstract: | A hybrid pyroxene-bearing Weinsberg type granitoid of the SouthBohemian batholith (Austria) consists of two independent mineralassemblages that were formed during two different magmatic events.The older, inherited assemblage forms unevenly distributed millimetre-sizedmulti-grain patches of quartz + mesoperthitic alkali feldspar+ andesine/bytownite + clinopyroxene (XMg = 0·500·54)+ orthopyroxene (XMg = 0·350·42) ±ilmenite ± accessories. It is interpreted to representremnants of a mangeritic igneous rock with a superimposed granulite-faciesre-equilibration texture characterized by unzoned pyroxenesand plagioclase. The enclosing younger assemblage with alkalifeldspar + oligoclase/andesine + quartz + biotite ± accessoriescrystallized from a biotite-bearing granitic melt with feldsparsexhibiting typical magmatic zoning. Coexisting with the inheritedassemblage are zircons with a characteristic typology (S23 toD, mean J4). Zircons belonging to the granitic assemblage, onthe other hand, show a distinctly different typology (L2 toS5, mean L4) or are anhedral. A Cambrian age of formation andsubsequent re-equilibration of the inherited assemblage is inferredfrom a mean U/Pb and 207Pb/206Pb evaporation age of 523 ±5 Ma for the J4 zircons. Granitic L4 zircons show a mean 207Pb/206Pbevaporation age of 355 ± 9 Ma, interpreted as the ageof zircon growth during a Carboniferous partial melting eventin the lower crust. Granite emplacement at 345 ± 5 Mais inferred from U/Pb analysis of the anhedral zircon population.The comparably low radiogenic common Pb isotope compositionof megacrystic alkali feldspars suggests that at least somedomains of these crystals are inherited from the older, pyroxene-bearingmineral assemblage. Rb/Sr whole-rock dating is thus severelyjeopardized by the presence of the inherited alkali feldsparcrystals, leading to widely scattering data points and errorchronages of no geological significance.
