The Pleasant Bay Layered Gabbro--Diorite, Coastal Maine: Ponding and Crystallization of Basaltic Injections into a Silicic Magma Chamber

The Pleasant Bay layered gabbro–diorite intrusion, locatedon the coast of Maine between Bar Harbor and Machias, is roughlyoval in plan, measuring 12 km by 20 km. Gravity data, contactrelations, and internal layering suggest that it is basinformin structure with a maximum thickness of {small tilde}3 km.Its roof and upper parts have been lost through erosion. Whereit is in contact with underlying granite, the base of the intrusiontypically consists of strongly chilled gabbro with convex-downwardlobate forms, suggesting that the granite was incompletely solidifiedwhen the gabbro was emplaced. Roughly 90% of the exposed rocksare weakly layered gabbro and mafic diorite, both of which varywidely in grain-size and texture. Layers and lenses of medium-grainedleucocratic diorite to granodiorite are widely intercalatedwith the chilled mafic rocks and commonly contain partly digestedmafic inclusions; they also commonly contain zones of pillow-likebodies of gabbro chilled on all margins. The dioritic rocksare consistently topped by gabbroic layers with chilled lobatebases and commonly appear to feed granitic pipes and diapirsinto overlying gabbro. Much of the intrusion can be subdividedinto hundreds of macrorhythmic units (from 1 to 100 m thick)consisting of basally chilled gabbro that grades upward to dioriteor highly evolved leucocratic silicic cumulates. Basaltic dikesare abundant both in the underlying granite and in the layeredgabbro–diorites; they have appropriate compositions tobe feeders for chilled gabbroic layers in the Pleasant Bay intrusion. The layered rocks of the Pleasant Bay intrusion record hundredsof basaltic injections into a chamber with resident silicicmagma. Small injections produced chilled gabbroic layers andpillows within silicic cumulates. Larger infusions of basalticmagma produced temporary compositional stratification and episodesof double-diffusive convection within the chamber. Althoughfractional crystallization produced compositional variationin much of the gabbro, units that grade from chilled gabbroat the base to highly silicic cumulates at the top provide cumulaterecords of magma stratification and hybridization along a double-diffusiveinterface between basaltic and silicic magmas. The intrusionprovides a superb plutonic record of events that have oftenbeen inferred for silicic eruptive centers. Mafic–siliciclayered intrusions comparable with the Pleasant Bay are morewidespread than has generally been appreciated.     

Late-Stage Mafic Injection and Thermal Rejuvenation of the Vinalhaven Granite, Coastal Maine

The Vinalhaven intrusive complex consists mainly of coarse-grainedgranite, inward-dipping gabbro–diorite sheets, and a fine-grainedgranite core. Small bodies of porphyry occur throughout thecoarse-grained granite. The largest porphyry body (roughly 0·5km by 2·5 km) occurs with coeval gabbro, hybrid rocks,and minor fine-grained granite in the Vinal Cove complex, whichformed during the waning stages of solidification of the coarse-grainedVinalhaven granite. Porphyry contacts with surrounding coarse-grainedgranite are irregular and gradational. Compositions of wholerocks and minerals in the porphyry and the coarse-grained graniteare nearly identical. Neighboring phenocrysts in the porphyryvary greatly in degree of corrosion and reaction, indicatingthat the porphyry was well stirred. Thermal rejuvenation ofa silicic crystal mush by a basaltic influx can explain thecomposition and texture of the porphyry. Comparable rejuvenationevents have been recognized in recent studies of erupted rocks.Weakly corroded biotite phenocrysts in the porphyry requirethat hydrous interstitial melt existed in the granite duringremelting. Field relations, along with thermal calculations,suggest that cooling and crystallization of coeval mafic magmacould have generated the porphyry by thermal rejuvenation ofgranite crystal-mush containing about 20% melt. Field relationsalso suggest that some of the porphyry matrix may representnew felsic magma that was emplaced during remelting.

Origin of the Gabbro-Peridotite Association from the Northern Apennine Ophiolites (Italy)

The Northern Apennine ophiolites are remnants of the MiddleJurassic–Early Cretaceous lithosphere from the LigurianTethys. New trace element and Nd–Sr isotope investigationswere performed on: (1) the rare gabbros associated with thesubcontinental mantle rocks from the External Liguride ophiolites;(2) the gabbro–peridotite association from the poorlyknown ophiolitic bodies from Cecina valley (Southern Tuscany).Clinopyroxenes from the External Liguride and Cecina valleygabbros have similar trace element compositions, which are consistentwith formation from normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB) magmas.Sm–Nd mineral isochron ages are 179 ± 9 Ma foran External Liguride gabbro and 170 ± 13 Ma and 173·5± 4·8 Ma for two different gabbroic bodies fromthe Cecina valley ophiolites. These ages are interpreted todate the igneous crystallization of the gabbros and are slightlyolder than the oldest pelagic sediments of the Ligurian Tethys.Initial     

Geochemical characteristics and zircon U-Pb isotopic ages of island-arc basic igneous complexes from the Tianshui area in West Qinling

The Liushuigou intermediate-basic meta-igneous complex at Guanzizhen, Tianshui area, is mainly composed of metagabbro, metagabbro diorite and metadiorite, while the Baihua basic meta-igneous complex consists mainly of pyroxenite, gabbro (gabbro diorite), diorite and quartz diorite. They form a relatively complete comagmatic evolutionary series. The geochemical characteristics of intermediate-basic igneous rocks indicate that they belong to a tholeiite suite. Their chondrite-normalized REE patterns are nearly flat and are LREE-slightly enriched type, and their primitive mantle-normalized and MORB-normalized trace element spider-grams are generally similar; the LILEs Cs, Ba, Sr, Th and U are enriched, while Rb and K and the HFSEs Nb, P, Zr, Sm, Ti and Y are depleted. All these show comagmatic evolutionary and genetic characteristics. The tectonic environment discrimination by trace element reveals that these igneous complexes formed in an island-arc setting. The Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) single-grain zircon U-Pb age for the Liushuigou intermediate-basic meta-igneous rocks in the Guanzizhen area is (507.5±3.0) Ma, representing the age of these igneous complexes, which indicates that island-arc-type magmatite rocks in the northern zone of West Qinling are Late Cambrian and also reveals that the timing of subduction of the paleo-ocean basin represented by the Guanzizhen ophiolite and resulting island-arc-type magmatic activity are probably Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician.

Petrogenesis of Mafic to Felsic Plutonic Rock Associations: the Calc-alkaline Querigut Complex, French Pyrenees

The Quérigut mafic–felsic rock association comprisestwo main magma series. The first is felsic comprising a granodiorite–tonalite,a monzogranite and a biotite granite. The second is intermediateto ultramafic, forming small diorite and gabbro intrusions associatedwith hornblendites and olivine hornblendites. A U–Pb zirconage of 307 ± 2 Ma was obtained from the granodiorite–tonalites.Contact metamorphic minerals in the thermal aureole providea maximum emplacement pressure of between 260 and 270 MPa. Petrographiccharacteristics of the mafic and ultramafic rocks suggest crystallizationat <300 MPa, demonstrating that mantle-derived magmas ascendedto shallow levels in the Pyrenean crust during Variscan times.The ultramafic rocks are the most isotopically primitive components,with textural and geochemical features of cumulates from hydrousbasaltic magmas. None of the mafic to ultramafic rocks havedepleted mantle isotope signatures, indicating crustal contaminationor derivation from enriched mantle. Origins for the dioritesinclude accumulation from granodiorite–tonalite magma,derivatives from mafic magmas, or hybrids. The granitic rockswere formed from broadly Proterozoic meta-igneous crustal protoliths.The isotopic signatures, mineralogy and geochemistry of thegranodiorite–tonalites and monzogranites suggest crystallizationfrom different magmas with similar time-integrated Rb/Sr andSm/Nd isotope ratios, or that the granodiorite–tonalitesare cumulates from a granodioritic to monzogranitic parent.The biotite granite differs from the other felsic rocks, representinga separate magma batch. Ages for Quérigut and other Pyreneangranitoids show that post-collisional wrenching in this partof the Variscides was under way by 310 Ma.

阿勒泰西南缘珠万喀腊铜矿杂岩体特征及找矿意义

位于阿尔泰西南缘的珠万喀腊杂岩体,产于珠万喀腊二叠纪陆相火山岩盆地,侵入地层为下二叠统哈尔加乌组和卡拉岗组,主要由闪长岩相和辉长岩相组成,二者呈侵入接触关系。其中闪长岩相存在三个过渡的岩相带:中心相闪长岩,过渡相辉石闪长岩及边缘相蚀变闪长岩。辉长岩相发现辉石岩、蛇纹岩、黄铜-磁黄铁矿化橄榄岩。地球化学特征表明,SiO2含量总体较低,为47.14%～55.90%,为中基性岩石。K2O+NaO变化范围1.27%～6.99%,岩石为碱性岩石系列。稀土元素丰度在131.1×10-6～159.7×10-6之间,属富集REE。LREE/HREE比值为2.87～3.52,属轻稀土富集型。微量元素总体富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),相对亏损高场强元素(HFSE),显示了岛弧岩浆的一些特点,可能是岩浆岩源区保留有早期俯冲的洋壳。EH4测量结果表明杂岩体内存在层状低阻异常带,可能为含矿岩相。岩体下部(距离地表700～800m处)可作为进一步找矿的有利部位。     

安徽龙桥铁矿床辉长闪长岩的发现及其岩石学和年代学研究

龙桥铁矿床是长江中下游成矿带内的大型铁矿床,主矿体呈似层状赋存于三叠系东马鞍山组泥灰岩、角砾状灰岩和泥质粉砂岩中,单个矿体铁矿石资源量大于1亿吨,具有鲜明的成矿特色。前人研究认为,矿区内正长岩类侵入岩与成矿关系密切,龙桥矿床是成矿带内唯一与正长岩有关的大型铁矿床。随着生产勘探,在矿床中部井下巷道中发现辉长闪长岩侵入体,为矿床成因以及成矿模式提供了新的线索。文章在详细的野外地质工作基础上,开展了辉长闪长岩的岩石学、地球化学和年代学研究。辉长闪长岩岩体呈岩株状产出,被正长岩体穿切破坏,靠近矿体部位发育透辉石矽卡岩化蚀变。辉长闪长岩主要由拉长石(60%)、钾长石(10%)、普通辉石(10%)和角闪石(5%)组成;与正长岩相比,辉长闪长岩明显具有低硅、低钾、高镁铁特征。锆石LA ICP-MS定年结果表明其成岩时代为(133.5±0.8)Ma。在前人对龙桥矿床研究的基础上,笔者认为龙桥铁矿床辉长闪长岩与铁成矿作用关系更为密切,成岩成矿作用几乎同时发生,而正长岩为成矿期后破矿岩体。通过与庐枞矿集区和长江中下游成矿带内铁矿床对比表明,庐枞矿集区内大型铁矿床与正长岩无成因联系,而闪长质侵入岩则是庐枞矿集区内重要的成矿母岩。龙桥铁矿床与长江中下游成矿带庐枞、宁芜矿集区内玢岩型铁矿床以及鄂东南矿集区内矽卡岩型铁矿床在成岩成矿时代方面相近,属长江中下游第二期成岩成矿作用的产物。闪长质侵入岩是成矿带内矽卡岩型及玢岩型铁矿成矿的必要条件,而正长岩类侵入岩的形成大多晚于闪长岩,与铁成矿作用无直接关系。     

Assimilation of peridotite in zoned calc-alkaline plutonic complexes: evidence from the Big Jim complex,Washington Cascades

The Big Jim complex is a concentrically zoned ultramafic to felsic plutonic complex which intruded the pelitic Chiwaukum schist. Most of the major plutonic rock types (from websterite through hornblendite, gabbronorite, hornblende gabbro and diorite, to granodiorite) enclose harzburgite and metaperidotite xenoliths similar to foliated metaperidotite lenses included in the Chiwaukum schist. The larger xenoliths preserve tectonite fabrics. All have Mg#'s (mole fraction MgO/(MgO+FeO^*)) from 0.90 to 0.89, the same as those of Chiwaukum metaperidotites, and distinctly different from undeformed Big Jim dunite (Mg#'s 0.84 to 0.82) and websterite (0.82 to 0.78). Contact relations indicate widespread, stepwise replacement of harzburgite by pyroxenite, hornblendite, gabbro and diorite. Thermodynamic modelling using an expanded regular solution model for silicate liquids (Ghiorso 1985; Ghiorso and Carmichael 1985) predicts that reaction between olivine (Fo90) and a liquid with the composition of Big Jim diorite +1.5 wt% H₂O, at 1,100° C and 3 kb, would produce websterite (Mg#'s 0.75 to 0.81) and dunite (0.79 to 0.82). This process is exothermic and results in a negative change in volume, since it increases total solid mass. Under conditions of decreasing temperature, modelled crystal fractionation with assimilation of olivine reproduces important features of the chemical variation observed in the Big Jim complex where crystal fractionation alone fails. The Big Jim complex has affinities with other ultramafic to felsic plutonic complexes such as the Bear Mountain complex (Snoke et al. 1981, 1982) and the Emigrant Gap complex (James 1971). The latter have wehrlite and clinopyroxenite, rather than websterite, but both have concentric zoning, with olivine-bearing rock types surrounded by successively more felsic pyroxenite, gabbro and diorite. In general, concentrically zoned complexes of this type may form where magma reacts with mantle-derived wall rock or ultramafic cumulates. Assimilation of peridotite in fractionating magma may be important in subduction-related magmatic arcs.     

The Sr,Nd, and Hf isotopic geochemistry of rocks of the gabbro–diorite–tonalite association from the Eastern Segment of the Middle Urals as an indicator of the age of the continental crust in this area

According to isotopic analysis of rocks of the Reft gabbro–diorite–tonalite complex (Middle Urals), gabbro and related diorite and dikes and vein-shaped bodies of plagiogranitoids, crosscutting gabbro, are similar to the depleted mantle substance in ε_Nd(T) = 8.6–9.7 and ε_Hf(T) = 15.9–17.9. Their model Hf ages are correlated with the time of crystallization. Here, the tonalites and quartz diorites constituting most of the Reft massif are characterized by lower values: ε_Nd(T) = 3.7–6.0, ε_Hf(T) = 11.1–12.7, and T _DM values significantly exceeding the age datings. This is evidence that Neoproterozoic crustal rocks were a source of parental magma for these rocks. The primary ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio in rocks of both groups is highly variable (0.70348–0.70495). The data obtained allow us to reach the conclusion that the Reft gabbro–diorite–tonalite complex was formed as a result of nearly synchronous processes occurring in the crust and the mantle within a limited area.     

Magma mixing model for the genesis of middle crust in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana arc: evidence from plutonic rocks in the Mineoka-Setogawa ophiolitic mélange,central Japan

ABSTRACT

A Paleogene accretionary complex, the Mineoka–Setogawa belt is distributed adjacent to the northern portion of the collision zone between Honshu and Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) arcs in central Japan, comprising a mélange of ophiolitic fragments of various sizes. The Eocene-Oligocene plutonic rocks in this belt (gabbro, diorite, and tonalite) have been interpreted as fragments brought from the deep crust beneath the IBM arc through tectonic collisions. The geochemical characteristics of the gabbro and associated basaltic dike are similar to those of the Eocene IBM tholeiitic basalt; thus, the gabbro was likely formed via the crystallization of the Eocene tholeiitic basaltic magmas, which was produced by the partial meltings of a depleted mantle wedge. A comparison with experimental results and geochemical modeling indicates that the tonalite was generated by 10–30% dehydration melting of the gabbro. Actually, Eocene–Oligocene felsic veins, which are coeval with the plutonic rocks, occur in the Mineoka–Setogawa gabbro. Plagioclase crystals in the diorite comprise Ca-rich and -poor parts in a single crystal. Their compositional characteristics are consistent with those of plagioclase in the gabbro and tonalite, respectively. The textures and chemical composition of plagioclase indicate that the diorite was formed by the mixing between mafic and silicic magmas. The whole-rock composition of the diorite also indicates the evidence for the mixing between basaltic magmas which were fractionated to variable degrees and homogeneous silicic magma. The mixing model proposed from the first direct observations of the IBM middle crust exposed on the Mineoka–Setogawa belt is applied to the genesis of the Eocene to present intermediate rocks in the IBM arc. If the continental crust were created at intra-oceanic arc settings such as the IBM arc, the magma mixing model would be one of the most likely mechanisms for the genesis of the continental crust.

西准噶尔萨吾尔地区科克托别基性岩体岩石成因:地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学证据

萨吾尔地区位于西准噶尔东北缘,广泛发育晚古生代中酸性侵入岩和火山岩以及少量基性侵入岩,这些岩浆岩的年代学研究对于限制西准噶尔地区石炭纪构造环境具有重要的意义。本文通过研究萨吾尔地区科克托别岩体的岩相学特征、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄以及地球化学特征,探讨该岩体构造背景以及成因机制,为进一步论证西准噶尔地区石炭纪构造环境提供佐证。科克托别岩体包括中粗粒辉长岩、细粒辉长岩和闪长岩,在野外露头显示细粒辉长岩以脉状侵入中粗粒辉长岩中,细粒辉长岩中包裹有中粗粒辉长岩包体,中粗粒辉长岩与闪长岩之间呈渐变过渡接触关系,说明科克托别岩体是不同期次岩浆侵位形成的杂岩体,早期岩浆侵入形成中粗粒辉长岩和闪长岩,晚期岩浆上侵就位于中粗粒辉长岩构造裂隙中形成细粒辉长岩。科克托别岩体中细粒辉长岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为323.2±6.2Ma,表明岩体形成于早石炭世晚期。该岩体成岩年龄晚于该地区蛇绿岩套岩石年龄,也晚于岛弧火山岩年龄以及含斑岩矿床侵入岩年龄,与该地区I型花岗岩年龄相似,而明显早于碰撞后A型花岗岩和双峰式火山岩的形成年龄,说明科克托别岩体可能形成于同碰撞构造环境中。不同岩相的岩石主量元素之间的相关关系以及微量元素配分型式相似性说明它们为同源岩浆结晶分异的产物。岩相学和地球化学特征表明岩体初始岩浆可能为软流圈地幔与上覆交代地幔相互作用形成,板片断离可能为软流圈地幔的上涌起到重要作用。

Zircons of igneous rocks at the Erdenetuin-Obo porphyry Cu-Mo deposit (Mongolia): U-Pb dating and petrological implications

The Erdenetuin-Obo porphyry Cu-Mo deposit was formed at the final stage of development of magmatic activity occasionally manifested in the Late Permian-Early Triassic in the period of at least 40 Ma. Early plutonic (host) and late ore-bearing porphyry intrusive complexes were formed in that period. The plutonic complex is multiphase, while the porphyry complex is polyrhythmical and multiphase within rhythms. The obtained data on the U-Pb isotopic composition (SHRIMP II) of zircons from unaltered rocks of the ore field are discussed: gabbro, diorite, and granodiorite of the plutonic complex and granodiorite-porphyry I and II of the first and second rhythms of the ore-bearing complex, respectively. Zircons of different age levels and genotypes were identified in the course of performed investigations. Gabbro are dominated by postmagmatic (superimposed) zircons with the datings of 239–225 Ma. The age of xenogenic zircon brought out from the basement rocks is estimated at 1146 ± 11 Ma. Zircons occur as magmatic and postmagmatic (superimposed) minerals dated 252–247, 244–233 Ma in diorite and 244–242, 239–224 Ma in granodiorite. The ages of postmagmatic zircons from diorite are partially overlapped by datings of magmatic zircons from granodiorite and granodiorite-porphyry. In the porphyry complex, the datings of magmatic zircons are 240–234 and 222–220 Ma in granodiorite-porphyries I and II, respectively. There are also inherited zircons with datings coinciding with those of magmatic zircons from precursor intrusive rocks. Datings of such zircons are 249–241 and 257–231 Ma for granodiorite-porphyries I and II, respectively. As a whole, zircon datings in all studied igneous rocks forming a virtually uninterrupted range in the period of 257–220 Ma allow us to suggest the relation of the ore magmatic system to the long-living constantly active deep source occasionally delivering melt to the upper levels.

U-Pb zircon age of gabbroids of the Ust’-Belaya mafic-ultramafic massif (Chukotka) and its interpretation

The Ust’-Belaya mafic-ultramafic massif is assigned to the Western Koryak fold belt and largely composed of residual spinel peridotites, layered spinel and plagioclase peridotites, and gabbros. These rocks are crosscut by occasional plagiogranite and diorite veins and exhibit locally a close spatial association with basalts and carbonate-sedimentary deposits of Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous age. Based on this evidence, the massif was ascribed to the pre-Late Devonian ophiolite association. Our study presents new U-Pb SHPIMP II zircon ages and petrographic and mineralogical data on samples of the layered amphibole gabbro and vein diorite from the Ust’-Belaya massif. The approximate concordant U-Pb age corresponding to a timing of of amphibole gabbro crystallization is 799 ± 15 Ma, and the concordant U-Pb age reflecting a timing of of vein diorite crystallization is 575 ± 10 Ma. These ages coupled with geological studies of the massif, petrological and mineralogical investigations of the dated samples, as well as literature data on the petrology of peridotites and the age of formed plagiogranites suggest that the peridotites and layered gabbros of the Ust’-Belaya massif were formed by the Late Riphean, whereas the vein diorite and plagiogranite were resulted from a later (Vendian-Cambrian) magmatic stage. The peridotites and gabbros of the massif display no genetic relationship with spatially associated basalts and sedimentary rocks and, thus, they cannot be considered as members the pre-Late Devonian ophiolitic association. The results of this study will inevitably lead to a significant revision of geological and geodynamic interpretations of the Ust’-Belaya mafic-ultramafic massif. However, uneven study of the Precambrian complexes of the Koryak and Chukchi areas, their evolution in different structures of the region cannot yet be described by a single geodynamic scenario.     

安徽铜陵铜官山矿区中生代侵入岩的形成过程——岩浆底侵、同化混染和分离结晶

对安徽铜陵铜官山矿区的小铜官山岩体进行了SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年,并对天鹅抱蛋山岩体及其辉长岩和闪长岩包体进行了全岩主量元素和稀土元素以及锶 钕同位素分析,结合对区内老庙基山和小铜官山岩体及其辉长岩和闪长岩包体的岩石学和地球化学资料的综合整理,讨论了这些岩体及其包体的成因。小铜官山岩体的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为(139.5±2.9 ）Ma,表明它属于长江中下游晚侏罗世-早白垩世岩浆作用的产物。辉长岩和闪长岩包体具有低w(SiO₂)(52.03%~54.61 %）、w(Al₂O₃)(12.87%~14.43 %)和全碱含量w(Na₂O+K2O)(5.26%~6.30 %）, 但高w(MgO)(5.41%~11.66 %）的特征;寄主岩与此相反,具有高w(SiO2)(59.97%~64.44 %）、w(Al₂O₃)(16.43%~17.59 %）和全碱含量(6.67%~8.25 %）,但低w(MgO)(1.52%~2.50 %）的特征。辉长岩和闪长岩包体的稀土元素总量为165.70×10^-6~190.40×10^-6,寄主岩的稀土元素总量为166.12×10^-6~185.95×10^-6,二者十分相近,它们的稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式也十分相似。但辉长岩和闪长岩包体的轻、重稀土比值为3.39~4.27,明显小于寄主岩的轻、重稀土比值(4.86~5.94）。辉长岩和闪长岩包体具明显的正铕异常,而寄主岩具有弱负铕异常。从辉长岩到寄主岩,ε Nd (t) 从-4.9~-9.9减小到-11.4~-11.9,(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_o 从0.706 4~0.707 3增加到0.707 2~0.708 4。上述资料表明,铜陵铜官山矿区晚侏罗世-早白垩世侵入岩及其辉长岩和闪长岩包体可能是由基性到中酸性岩浆通过幔源岩浆底侵、同化混染和分离结晶过程形成的,而基性到中酸性岩浆则是由底侵的玄武岩浆与不同量的中下地壳物质发生一系列复杂的相互作用形成的。

阿尔金北缘拉配泉地区的齐勒萨依岩体主要由辉长岩、闪长岩组成。地球化学特征表明,辉长岩具有高的Al2O3(13.47%~15.34%)、FeOT含量(10.77%~16.89%)以及中等的MgO含量(5.15%~7.49%);闪长岩属钙碱性系列,具有较低SiO2含量(52.06%~54.23%)和高的Mg#值(56.43~62.45)。二者在球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分曲线上呈REE近平坦型或者LREE轻微富集型,均显示Eu弱的亏损或富集。在原始地幔标准化蛛网图上,二者均富集Rb、Ba等大离子亲石元素(LILE),相对亏损Nb、Ta、Zr和Hf等高场强元素(HFSE),具明显消减带岩浆岩的特征。辉长岩和闪长岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果分别为477.5±3.3 Ma和469.7±3.4 Ma,表明它们属于早中奥陶世岩浆活动的产物。结合岩石的地球化学、微量元素构造环境判别图解、年代学和区域地质背景的特征,判定齐勒萨依岩体形成于与俯冲有关的活动陆缘弧的构造环境,二者的侵位与阿尔金北缘早古生代的古大洋向南俯冲消减到米兰河-金雁山活动陆缘地块之下密切相关,从而为北阿尔金早中奥陶世的陆缘弧和红柳沟-拉配泉蛇绿混杂岩带俯冲极性的进一步确定提供了佐证。
