Formation of K-feldspar megacrysts in granodioritic plutons by thermal cycling and late-stage textural coarsening

K-feldspar megacrysts in granite and granodiorite plutons are generally inferred to be early crystallizing phases (grown to large sizes when the magma was mostly liquid) owing to their large size, euhedral form, and features that suggest deposition by magmatic sedimentation. However, phase equilibrium experiments and natural examples of crystallization and partial melting demonstrate that K-feldspar is one of the last phases to nucleate and that most crystal growth must occur after the magma has exceeded 50% crystallization and is thus largely incapable of flow and sedimentation. Megacryst size distributions, compositions, and textural relationships from the Cretaceous Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, California, reveal that the gradational transition from equigranular to megacrystic granodiorite likely occurred via textural coarsening caused by thermal cycling. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that rising temperature induces relatively more melting in small crystals than in large ones, whereas linear growth rates during cooling are similar. Thus, during thermal cycling material is transferred from small crystals to larger ones. Megacryst growth via thermal cycling during incremental emplacement is consistent with the required late growth of K-feldspar, explains the presence of megacrysts in the inner parts of theTuolumne Intrusive Suite and elsewhere, and may be a common process in formation of megacrystic granitic rocks.     

Oxygen isotopic studies of the interaction between xenoliths and mafic magma, Voisey’s Bay Intrusion, Labrador, Canada

Sulfide mineralization in the Voisey’s Bay Intrusion, Labrador, Canada, is closely associated with country rock xenoliths that have extensively reacted with basaltic magma. In order to better understand the processes that control the assimilation of country rocks by mafic magma, a detailed study of oxygen isotope systematics related to magma-country rock interaction in the Voisey’s Bay area was undertaken. Protracted interaction of the xenoliths with magma produced refractory mineral assemblages in the xenoliths (2-10 cm in diameter) composed of Ca-rich plagioclase, corundum, hercynite, and minor magnetite. Overgrowth rims of plagioclase and biotite that surround most xenoliths separate the restites from the enclosing igneous matrix. The δ¹⁸O values of minerals from regionally metamorphosed pelitic and quartzofeldspathic protoliths are: plagioclase (8.7-12.3‰), orthoclase (9.5-9.8‰), biotite (5.2-8.7‰), garnet (8.3-10.8‰), pyroxene (8.0-10.1‰), and quartz (9.6-14.0). The δ¹⁸O values of minerals from the hornfels in the contact aureole of the intrusion are consistent with modeling which indicates that as a result of essentially closed system contact metamorphism oxygen isotope values should differ only slightly from those of the protoliths. Hercynite, plagioclase, and corundum separates from the xenoliths have δ¹⁸O values that vary from 2.9‰ to 10.5‰, 5.6‰ to 10.9‰, and 2.0‰ to 6.8‰, respectively. Although a siliceous ¹⁸O-enriched melt has been lost from the xenoliths, corundum, and feldspar δ¹⁸O values are significantly lower than expected through melt loss alone. The relatively low δ¹⁸O values of minerals from the xenoliths may be a function of incomplete isotopic exchange with surrounding mafic magma which had a δ¹⁸O value of ∼5.5‰ to 6.0‰. The high-¹⁸O melt that was released from the xenoliths is partially recorded in the plagioclase overgrowth on the margin of the xenoliths (δ¹⁸O values from 6.2‰ to 10.7‰), and in hercynite that replaced corundum. However, mass balance calculations indicate that a portion of the partial melt must have been transferred to magma that was moving through the conduit system. δ¹⁸O and δD values of biotite surrounding the plagioclase overgrowth range from 5.0‰ to 6.2‰ and −58‰ to −80‰, respectively. These data suggest that the outermost rim associated with many xenoliths has closely approached isotopic equilibrium with uncontaminated mafic magma. The current gabbroic to troctolitic matrix of the xenoliths shows no evidence for contamination by the high-¹⁸O partial melt from the xenoliths. The feldspar and biotite overgrowths on the xenoliths that formed after the motion of the xenoliths relative to the magma had stopped prevented further isotopic exchange between the xenoliths and final magma. The minerals within the xenoliths are not in oxygen isotopic equilibrium with each other, due in part to rapid thermal equilibration, partial melting, and partial exchange with flow through magma.

Conditions of contact metamorphism, Papoose Flat Pluton, eastern California, USA: implications for cooling and strain histories

Abstract Petrological study of highly strained carbonate and pelitic rocks within the contact aureole surrounding the western part of the Papoose Flat pluton yields thermal profiles (plots of metamorphic temperature versus distance) across the aureole that show temperature gradients which are relatively flat and narrow (<100m). The gradients occur close to the contact and indicate a slight decrease in temperature from 500–550°C at the pluton/wall rock contact to 450–500°C at the outer margin of the aureole. One thermal profile across low-strain metasedimentary rocks located in the southern part of the aureole shows that thermal effects from emplacement extend no further than 600 m from the contact. Coexistence of andalusite and cordierite in pelitic rocks of the aureole constrain pressures to <4 kbar. Thermal modelling using an analytical solution of the conductive heat flow equation for a rectangular-shaped pluton reproduces the observed thermal maxima and profile shape. Conductive rather than convective cooling also is supported by isotopic and field evidence for limited fluid flow along the strongly deformed margin of the pluton. Simple thermal models coupled with observed high-temperature deformation features and a measured 90% attenuation of stratigraphic units in the plastically deformed western part of the pluton's aureole indicate that strain rates may have been of the order of 10^-12s^-1. Evidence for episodic heating, such as two distinct generations of andalusite growth in pelites from the aureole, alternatively may indicate a longer heating event and, therefore, slower strain rates. Thermal models also indicate that parts of the pluton still may have been above the solidus during deformation of the pluton margin and aureole.     

Fabric studies within the Cascade Lake shear zone, Sierra Nevada, California

The Cascade Lake shear zone occurs on the eastern margin of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, Sierra Nevada Batholith, California. Foliation in the zone is NNW trending and subvertical, and lineation is moderately south plunging. Deformation is syn-tectonic with emplacement of the Cathedral Peak granodiorite. A deformation gradient exists toward the NE margin of this pluton, with higher strains and lower temperatures of deformation found near the contact. We compare fabric data collected very densely in this shear zone using several techniques: field fabrics, 3D orientation of K-feldspar megacrysts, and AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) analysis. In general, the results from the three different methods are in agreement. Deformation in this shear zone is part of a larger pattern of deformation within the Cathedral Peak granodiorite, as recorded by AMS analysis, and dextral shearing associated within the last stage of plutonism within the Sierra Nevada magmatic arc.

Petrogenesis of the Barcroft pluton, northern White-Inyo Mountains, east-central California

The White-Inyo Range lies within the regional transition from Paleozoic-Precambrian North American continental basement to outboard Mesozoic and younger accreted terranes and a superimposed Andean-type arc. In the central White Mountains, the metaluminous Barcroft granodiorite invaded a major NE-striking, SE-dipping high-angle reverse fault—the Barcroft break. Because it is a relatively isolated igneous body and is well exposed over an elevation range of 1,500–4,000 m, its thermal history and that of the surrounding superjacent section are clearer than those of nearly coeval, crowded plutons emplaced in the hotter Sierra Nevada belt. The Barcroft pluton was emplaced as a compositionally heterogeneous series of areally scattered melt pulses episodically injected over the approximate interval 167–161 Ma. The oldest dated rocks are relatively quartzofeldspathic, whereas the youngest is more ferromagnesian, suggesting progressive partial fusion of a relatively mafic protolith. Heavy rare earth-enriched zircons indicate that Barcroft melts were derived at mid-crustal depths from a previously emplaced metabasaltic protolith containing plagioclase but lacking garnet. Granodioritic magma genesis involved the possible mixing of mafic and felsic melts, as well as very minor assimilation of country rocks, but mainly by fractional fusion and crystallization. Bulk chemical, rare earth, and isotopic data suggest that analyzed Barcroft rocks are members of a single suite. Granodioritic rocks are slightly more magnetite-rich at higher elevations on the NE, nearer the roof of the pluton. Earlier thermobarometry chronicled cooling and re-equilibration of the Barcroft pluton from its margins inward, as well as from mid-crustal generation depths of ~25 km through ascent and stalling at ~10–12 km. Refractory phase assemblages crystallized along the pluton margins, whereas subsolidus minerals in the interior of the of body continued to exchange with upper crustal deuteric and surficial aqueous fluids during exhumation and cooling.     

Isotopic variation in the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite,central Sierra Nevada,California

Granitoid rocks of the compositionally zoned Late Cretaceous Toulumne Intrusive Suite in the central Sierra Nevada, California, have initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values (Sri) and¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values (Ndi) that vary from 0.7057 to 0.7067 and from 0.51239 to 0.51211 respectively. The observed variation of both Sri and Ndi and of chemical composition in rocks of the suite cannot be due to crystal fractionation of magma solely under closed system conditons. The largest variation in chemistry, Ndi, and Sri is present in the outer-most equigranular units of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite. Sri varies positively with SiO₂, Na₂O, K₂O, and Rb concentrations, and negatively with Ndi, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, MgO, FeO, CaO, MnO, P₂O₅, TiO₂, and Sr concentrations. This covariation of Sri, Ndi and chemistry can be modeled by a process of simple mixing of basaltic and granitic magmas having weight percent SiO₂ of 48.0 and 73.3 respectively. Isotopic characteristic of the mafic magma are Sri=0.7047, Ndi=0.51269 and ¹⁸O=6.0, and of the felsic magma are Sri=0.7068, Ndi=0.51212 and ¹⁸O=8.9. The rocks sampled contain from 50 to 80% of the felsic component. An aplite in the outer equigranular unit of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite apparently was derived by fractional crystallization of plagioclase and hornblende from magma with granudiorite composition that was a product of mixing of the magmas described above. Siliceous magmas derived from the lower crust, having a maximum of 15 percent mantle-derived mafic component, are represented by the inner prophyritic units of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite.     

Geochemistry of S-type granitic rocks from the reversely zoned Castelo Branco pluton (central Portugal)

The zoned pluton from Castelo Branco consists of Variscan peraluminous S-type granitic rocks. A muscovite>biotite granite in the pluton's core is surrounded successively by biotite>muscovite granodiorite, porphyritic biotite>muscovite granodiorite grading to biotite=muscovite granite, and finally by muscovite>biotite granite. ID-TIMS U–Pb ages for zircon and monazite indicate that all phases of the pluton formed at 310 ± 1 Ma. Whole-rock analyses show slight variation in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_310 Ma between 0.708 and 0.712, Nd_310 Ma values between − 1 and − 4 and δ¹⁸O values between 12.2 and 13.6. These geological, mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic data indicate a crustal origin of the suite, probably from partial melting of heterogeneous Early Paleozoic pelitic country rock. In detail there is evidence for derivation from different sources, but also fractional crystallization linking some of internal plutonic phases. Least-squares analysis of major elements and modelling of trace elements indicate that the porphyritic granodiorite and biotite=muscovite granite were derived from the granodiorite magma by fractional crystallization of plagioclase, quartz, biotite and ilmenite. By contrast variation diagrams of major and trace elements in biotite and muscovite, the behaviours of Ba in microcline and whole-rock δ¹⁸O, the REE patterns of rocks and isotopic data indicate that both muscovite-dominant granites were probably originated by two distinct pulses of granite magma.     

华南桂东南地区加里东期Ⅰ型花岗岩类的岩石成因及构造意义

龙新岩体和夏郢岩体位于扬子地块与华夏地块拼合带的西南端,岩体中的Ⅰ型花岗岩成因研究对揭示桂东南地区早古生代的地球动力学背景及其构造演化具有重要的地质意义.对龙新岩体的寄主岩和其暗色微粒包体,以及夏郢岩体岩石进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年、Lu-Hf同位素和全岩地球化学研究.锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,龙新岩体的寄主岩（花岗闪长岩）的年龄为440±2 Ma;龙新岩体的暗色包体（闪长岩）的年龄为441±1 Ma,寄主岩与暗色包体为同期岩浆作用的产物.夏郢岩体花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩年龄分别为447±3 Ma和436±3 Ma,说明夏郢岩体至少发生了2期岩浆侵入事件.Hf同位素研究表明,龙新岩体寄主岩和暗色微粒包体的锆石ε_Hf（t）值分别为-3.32~-5.83和-17.89~-1.82,二阶段模式年龄（T_DM2）分别为1.62~1.76 Ga和1.57~2.54 Ga;夏郢岩体早期花岗岩闪长岩和晚期二长花岗岩的锆石ε_Hf（t）值分别为-15.43~3.03和-4.79~6.82,T_DM2分别为1.59~1.99 Ga和0.97~1.70 Ga,指示物源主要来自古-中元古代的地壳物质.地球化学特征表明龙新岩体寄主岩为准铝质高钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩,寄主岩和暗色微粒包体均富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土元素及高场强元素;夏郢岩体早期的花岗闪长岩为弱过铝质高钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩,晚期的二长花岗岩则为强过铝质高钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩,主微量元素特征均与龙新岩体寄主岩相似.根据研究区花岗岩和镁铁质包体的岩相学、年代学、地球化学及Hf同位素组成特征,表明龙新岩体的暗色包体（闪长岩）为岩浆混合成因,而龙新岩体寄主岩（花岗闪长岩）和夏郢岩体（早期花岗岩闪长岩和晚期二长花岗岩）具有一致的岩石源区和岩石成因,但在后期的成岩过程中存在岩浆混合和结晶分异程度的差异.综合以往对华南地区构造背景的研究,认为龙新和夏郢岩体是在扬子地块和华夏地块陆内造山期后,岩石圈伸展减薄,热的幔源岩浆上涌底侵,中-下地壳受到地幔热影响发生部分熔融,形成的酸性岩浆在源区和基性岩浆经历了不均一且不强烈的壳-幔混合作用形成的.      

Petrogenesis of the magmatic complex at Mount Ascutney,Vermont, USA

The Ascutney Mountain igneous complex in eastern Vermont, USA, is composed of three principal units with compositions ranging from gabbro to granite. Sr and O isotopic and major element relationships for mafic rocks, granites, and nearby gneissic and schistose country rock have been investigated in order to describe the petrogenesis of the mafic suite which ranges from gabbro to diorite. The entire complex appears to have been formed within a short interval 122.2±1.2 m.y. ago. The granites with ¹⁸O near +7.8 had an initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of 0.70395(±6) which is indistinguishable from the initial ratio of the most primitive gabbro. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios and ¹⁸O values for the mafic rocks range from 0.7039 to 0.7057 and +6.1 to +8.6, respectively. The isotopic ratios are highly correlated with major element trends and reflect considerable crustal contamination of a mantle-derived basaltic parent magma. The likely contaminant was Precambrian gneiss similar to exposed bedrock into which the basic rocks were emplaced. A new approach to modelling of assimilation during the formation of a cogenetic igneous rock suite is illustrated. Chemical and isotopic modelling indicate that the mafic rocks were produced by simultaneous assimilation and fractional crystallization. The relative amounts of fractionation and assimilation varied considerably. The mafic suite was not produced by a single batch of magma undergoing progressive contamination; rather, the various rocks probably were derived from separate batches of magma each of which followed a separate course of evolution. The late stage granite was apparently derived from basaltic magma by fractionation with little or no crustal assimilation. The early intrusive phases are much more highly contaminated than the final one. The observed relationships have important implications for the formation of comagmatic complexes and for isotopic modelling of crustal contamination.     

Petrogenesis of the Kaikomagatake granitoid pluton in the Izu Collision Zone, central Japan: implications for transformation of juvenile oceanic arc into mature continental crust

The Miocene Kaikomagatake pluton is one of the Neogene granitoid plutons exposed in the Izu Collision Zone, which is where the juvenile Izu-Bonin oceanic arc is colliding against the mature Honshu arc. The pluton intrudes into the Cretaceous to Paleogene Shimanto accretionary complex of the Honshu arc along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line, which is the collisional boundary between the two arcs. The pluton consists of hornblende–biotite granodiorite and biotite monzogranite, and has SiO₂ contents of 68–75 wt%. It has high-K series compositions, and its incompatible element abundances are comparable to the average upper continental crust. Major and trace element compositions of the pluton show well-defined chemical trends. The trends can be interpreted with a crystal fractionation model involving the removal of plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, quartz, apatite, and zircon from a potential parent magma with a composition of ~68 wt% SiO₂. The Sr isotopic compositions, together with the partial melting modeling results, suggest that the parent magma is derived by ~53% melting of a hybrid lower crustal source comprising ~30% Shimanto metasedimentary rocks of the Honshu arc and ~70% K-enriched basaltic rocks of the Izu-Bonin rear-arc region. Together with previous studies on the Izu Collision Zone granitoid plutons, the results of this study suggest that the chemical diversity within the parental magmas of the granitoid plutons reflects the chemical variation of basaltic sources (i.e., across-arc chemical variation in the Izu-Bonin arc), as well as a variable contribution of the metasedimentary component in the lower crustal source regions. In addition, the petrogenetic models of the Izu Collision Zone granitoid plutons collectively suggest that the contribution of the metasedimentary component is required to produce granitoid magma with compositions comparable to the average upper continental crust. The Izu Collision Zone plutons provide an exceptional example of the transformation of a juvenile oceanic arc into mature continental crust.     

Crustal Contamination of Picritic Magmas During Transport Through Dikes: the Expo Intrusive Suite, Cape Smith Fold Belt, New Quebec

The Proterozoic Expo Intrusive Suite comprises a series of maficto ultramafic intrusions crosscutting the Povungnituk Groupof the Cape Smith Fold Belt in New Quebec. The intrusions aremainly in the form of blade-shaped dikes that penetrate a sediment-richhorizon in the middle of the Beauparlant Formation and terminatedownward against massive basalts of the lower Beauparlant Formation.Significant accumulations of magmatic sulfide occur at the basalterminations of the dikes. At stratigraphic levels above theBeauparlant Formation the intrusions appear as broad dikes orsills within the Nuvilik Formation, below the mineralized lavaflows and subvolcanic intrusions of the Raglan Formation. TheExpo Intrusive Suite and the mineralized bodies of the RaglanFormation are probably coeval and comagmatic with the overlyingChukotat Group. Post-emplacement folding has exposed the ExpoIntrusive Suite over about 5 km of structural relief, revealingthe basal sulfide concentrations where dike segments terminateon the flanks of anticlines. The parent magma as preserved inchilled margins and narrow dikes was a picrite containing 17wt % MgO (i.e. komatiitic basalt) and slightly depleted in Th,U and Nb relative to middle and heavy rare earth elements. Thecompositions of ultramafic cumulate rocks within the intrusionsare strongly enriched in Th, U and Nb relative to heavy rareearth elements, reflecting assimilation of the enclosing basaltsand metasediments. Modeling of the assimilation process suggeststhat the picritic magma was capable of assimilating masses ofbasalt or sediment up to 50% of the original mass of magma.Assimilation of 10% of a mixture of basalt and sediment causedthe magma to become sulfide-saturated, and was accompanied bythe crystallization of masses of ultramafic cumulates approximatelyequal to the mass of rock assimilated. The presence of dikeswhose chilled margins resemble uncontaminated primary magmasbut that contain abundant cumulates recording wholesale assimilationof host-rocks indicates that the process of assimilation andfractional crystallization required to produce continental tholeiitesfrom picritic parent magmas may not require the presence oflong-lived magma chambers, but can occur during transport alongdikes and reaction with wall-rocks.

High-K calc-alkaline plutonism in Zouzan, NE of Lut block, Eastern Iran: An evidence for arc related magmatism in Cenozoic

The Zouzan pluton is one of the intrusive bodies in the NE of Lut block enclosed by Cenozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks. It consists of two distinct mafic and felsic magmas which are genetically unrelated. All studied rocks are calc-alkaline in nature, with LILE/REE and HFSE/REE ratios compatible with arc related magmatism. Mafic phase has dioritic composition emplaced as small stocks in felsic rocks. Geochemical characteristics in dioritic rocks (relatively high contents of incompatible elements, low Na₂O and Mg#>44) suggest they were derived from partial melting of metabasalt sources in a subduction settings. Felsic phase composed of granodiorite to granite rocks with high-K calcalkaline metaluminous to slightly peraluminous signature. Major and trace element data exclude high pressure melting and metasedimentary parental in the formation of Zouzan felsic rocks. They have been formed by partial melting of mantle-derived mafic rocks. Field relation, petrographical evidences and chemical composition show that partial melting of a mantle wedge in conjunction with magma mixing and crystal fractionation would have led to generation of Zouzan pluton.     

Evidence for Multiple Mechanisms of Crustal Contamination of Magma from Compositionally Zoned Plutons and Associated Ultramafic Intrusions of the Alaska Range

Models of continental crustal magmagenesis commonly invoke theinteraction of mafic mantle-derived magma and continental crustto explain geochemical and petrologic characteristics of crustalvolcanic and plutonic rocks. This interaction and the specificmechanisms of crustal contamination associated with it are poorlyunderstood. An excellent opportunity to study the progressiveeffects of crustal contamination is offered by the compositeplutons of the Alaska Range, a series of nine early Tertiary,multiply intruded, compositionally zoned (Peridotite to granite)plutons. Large initial Sr and Nd isotopic contrasts betweenthe crustal country rock and likely parental magmas allow evaluationof the mechanisms and extents of crustal contamination thataccompanied the crystallization of these ultra-mafic throughgranitic rocks. Three contamination processes are distinguishedin these plutons. The most obvious of these is assimilationof crustal country rock concurrent with magmatic fractionalcrystallization (AFC), as indicated by a general trend towardcrustal-like isotopic signatures with increasing differentiation.Second, many ultramafic and mafic rocks have late-stage phenocrystreaction and orthocumulate textures that suggest interactionwith felsic melt. These rocks also have variable and enrichedisotopic compositions that suggest that this felsic melt wasisotopically enriched and probably derived from crustal countryrock. Partial melt from the flysch country rock may have reactedwith and contaminated these partly crystalline magmas followingthe precipitation and accumulation of the cumulus phenocrystsbut before complete solidification of the magma. This suggeststhat in magmatic mush (especially of ultramafic composition)crystallizing in continental crust, a second distinct processof crustal contamination may be super imposed on AFC or magmamixing involving the main magma body. Finally, nearly all rocks,including mafic and ultramafic rocks, have (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i thatare too high, and (T) _Nd that are too low, to represent theexpected isotopic composition of typical depleted mantle. However,gabbro xenoliths with typical depicted-mantle isotopic compositionsare found in the plutons. This situation requires either anadditional enriched mantle component to provide the parentalmagma for these plutons, or some mechanism of crustal contaminationof the parent magma that did not cause significant crystallizationand differentiation of the magma to more felsic compositions.Thermodynamic modeling indicates that assimilation of alkali-andwater-rich partial melt of the metapelite country rock by fractionating,near-liquidus basaltic magma could cause significant contaminationwhile suppressing significant crystallization and differentiation.

Contact metamorphism and crystal size distribution studies in the Shivar aureole,NW Iran

The Shivar pluton, a large granodiorite–monzonite intrusion in NW Iran, was intruded into Cretaceous sedimentary rocks during the Oligo‐Miocene. Its thermal aureole contains a variety of pelitic, basic and calc‐silicate hornfelses. Mineral parageneses in the pelitic and calc‐silicate hornfelses are studied here and mineralogical zones are determined. The maximum pressure of contact metamorphism is estimated to have been about 2.2 kbar on the basis of mineral parageneses in the pelitic rocks, indicating that the intrusion was emplaced no deeper than 8 km in the crust. Crystal size distribution (CSD) studies in the calc‐silicate hornfelses indicate that the degree of overstepping was high near the igneous contact. Secondary solid phases (SSP) inhibited growth of calcite grains in the calc‐silicate rocks and impure marbles. Garnet had a greater inhibitory effect as a SSP than tremolite or clinopyroxene. The time required for coarsening of calcite is calculated for two samples collected at different distances from the igneous contact. The time required for calcite coarsening is about 33 000 years for the sample 800 m from the contact and about 226 000 years for the sample 120 m from the contact.

皖南祁门地区东源钨钼矿区花岗闪长斑岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素特征

江家等系列花岗闪长斑岩是皖南祁门县东源钨钼矿区含矿岩体的组成部分,位于东源花岗闪长岩的西侧。对江家和方村花岗闪长斑岩进行的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb测年结果表明,江家、方村花岗闪长斑岩的结晶年龄为149~152Ma,与富钨的东源花岗闪长岩相近。岩石地球化学和锆石Hf同位素分析显示,江家等系列花岗闪长斑岩源区具有复杂的多成分端元,其中老锆石核的正εHf值反映了成岩岩浆对晋宁期岩浆岩的继承,震荡岩浆环带的负εHf值（-39.5~-2.86）指示源区的主要成分为古老的地壳物质,有少量地幔物质的混染。全岩锆石饱和温度（737~913°C）显示岩浆组成中有幔源物质的贡献。     

Magma accumulation rates and thermal histories of plutons of the Sierra Nevada batholith,CA

Zircon U–Pb geochronology results indicate that the John Muir Intrusive Suite of the central Sierra Nevada batholith, California, was assembled over a period of at least 12 Ma between 96 and 84 Ma. Bulk mineral thermochronology (U–Pb zircon and titanite, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar hornblende and biotite) of rocks from multiple plutons comprising the Muir suite indicates rapid cooling through titanite and hornblende closure following intrusion and subsequent slow cooling through biotite closure. Assembly of intrusive suites in the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere over millions of years favors growth by incremental intrusion. Estimated long-term pluton assembly rates for the John Muir Intrusive Suite are on the order of 0.001 km³ a⁻¹ which is inconsistent with the rapid magma fluxes that are necessary to form large-volume magma chambers capable of producing caldera-forming eruptions. If large shallow crustal magma chambers do not typically develop during assembly of large zoned intrusive suites, it is doubtful that the intrusive suites represent cumulates left behind following caldera-forming eruptions.
