Early Cretaceous adakitic rocks in the Anqing region,southeastern China: constraints on petrogenesis and metallogenic significance

ABSTRACT

The Anqing region in Lower Yangtze River metallogenic belt is one of the important Cu polymetal producers in China. The origin of Cu polymetallic deposits in the region is closely related to Early Cretaceous adakitic intrusions. To constrain the petrogenetic and metallogenic significance of the adakitic rocks, a detailed geochronological, geochemical, and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopic study was performed. The Anqing adakitic rocks (SiO₂ = 57.4–64.2 wt.%) consist mainly of quartz monzodiorite, formed at 138.2 ± 1.7 Ma (Mean Standard Weighted Deviation (MSWD) = 0.61). They have high MgO, Al₂O₃, Sr, and low Rb, Y, Yb contents, together with high Sr/Y (50.5–222) and La/Yb (31.9–46.9) ratios. They also show negative whole-rock ε_Nd(t) (?9.8 to ?8.5) and zircon ε_Hf(t) (?10.0 to ?5.4), and high oxygen fugacity (mainly ?17.0 to ?8.01) values and radiogenic Pb isotopic compositions with (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i = 17.692–17.884, (²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i = 15.413–15.511, and (²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i = 37.611–37.943. Coupled with negative Nb–Ta anomalies, low K₂O/Na₂O ratios (0.39–0.62), and high Mg# values (0.44–0.71), these data suggest the adakitic rocks and associated large-scale Cu–Au mineralization of the Anqing region resulted from partial melting of the high oxidized subducted oceanic crust. Addition of mantle-derived magmas and assimilation of crustal materials during emplacement are also possible.     

安徽铜陵地区中生代侵入岩成因及成矿意义

安徽铜陵矿集区是我国最著名的铜、金、铁产地之一,成矿与岩浆作用关系密切.本次对铜陵地区中生代侵入岩进行了系统的矿物学、岩石学和元素地球化学研究.结果表明:①本区岩浆岩主要为辉石(二长)闪长岩( SiO2≤55％)、石英(二长)闪长岩(SiO255％～65％)和花岗闪长岩(SiO2≥65％)三种岩石组合,其矿物成分主要为...     

安徽铜陵矿集区中生代侵入岩体年代学研究及其成矿指示意义

基于前人在铜陵矿集区获得的大量高精度同位素定年数据,本文补充测定了研究程度相对较低的棋子坑、瑶山、荷花塘等11个小型侵入体的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄,年龄分布在147～131 Ma之间。通过对区内成岩-成矿时代进行系统分析,提出了该区为一燕山期陆内"瞬时大规模成矿作用"形成的大型矿集区。区内燕山期成矿岩体主要包括花岗闪长岩类、石英(二长)闪长岩类和辉石(二长)闪长岩类等3类中酸性侵入岩,其成岩时代主要集中在152～130Ma之间,其中,花岗闪长岩集中在148～137 Ma、石英(二长)闪长岩在152～130 Ma、辉石(二长)闪长岩在150～134 Ma,区内主要矿床中获得的辉钼矿Re-Os成矿年龄分布在141～137Ma,成岩与成矿时代相差约10Ma以内,且成矿年龄具有自东向西逐渐变新的特征,区内相邻矿田成矿时代相差2Ma左右。铜陵矿集区在141～137 Ma的短时限内三次幕式大规模成矿作用为全球陆内岩浆成矿作用中所罕见。     

铜陵地区中生代侵入岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学及Cu-Au成矿指示意义

安徽铜陵地区是我国著名的Cu-Au多金属产地之一,金属成矿与燕山期岩浆作用关系密切.本次对铜陵地区石英(二长)闪长岩和花岗闪长岩系统地进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石年代学研究.高质量锆石U-Pb同位素206Pb/238U加权平均年龄结果表明铜陵地区中酸性侵入岩的成岩序列可能为花岗闪长岩(141Ma)→辉石(二长)闪长岩(139Ma)→石英(二长)闪长岩(135Ms,136Ma,137Ms).对比已有的高精度锆石U-Pb同位素年龄,我们认为铜陵地区岩体侵入后可能有个快速冷却的过程.铜陵地区与Cu-Au矿床有关的最主要侵入岩LA-ICP-MS锆石数据给出两组年龄:130～132Ma和138～140Ma.据高精度锆石U-Pb数据和一些矿床的Re-Os年龄,结合锆石元素地球化学资料,本文得出铜陵地区主要表现出两次成矿事件:早期成矿事件是与高Ce异常流体密切相关的铜金成矿事件(辉钼矿Re-Os年龄138～140Ma);晚期成矿事件可能与低Ce异常流体密切相关的铁硫成矿事件(黄铁矿Re-Os年龄约126Ma).     

Petrogenesis and metallogenic implications for the Machang,Huangdaoshan, and Tuncang plutons in eastern Anhui: an integrated age,petrologic, and geochemical study

ABSTRACT

The Tuncang–Chuzhou–Machang area (eastern Anhui province) is geologically located in the intersection between the Yangtze block and the Qinling–Dabie orogenic belt. Many Mesozoic plutons outcrop in this district that are Cu–Au prospective but inadequately studied. We report new LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb ages, petrologic, and whole rock geochemical data for three representative plutons at Machang, Huangdaoshan, and Tuncang. New dating results suggest that all the Machang (129.3 ± 1.6 Ma), Huangdaoshan (129 ± 1.7 Ma), and Tuncang (130.8 ± 1.9 Ma) plutons were emplaced in the Early Cretaceous, slightly older than other plutons in neighbourhood of the Zhangbaling uplift. The three plutons contain typical low-Mg adakitic affinities, in which the rocks contain SiO₂ >56%, Al₂O₃ ≥15%, Mg# <53, elevated Sr, Ba, Cr, Ni, Sr/Y, and La/Yb, low Y and Yb and no discernible Eu anomaly. Their petrogenesis may have been related to the delamination and partial melting of the lower crust, which is different from the Chuzhou pluton, which was interpreted to have formed by partial melting of the subducted slabs. We suggest that this petrogenetic difference may explain why the pluton at Chuzhou is Cu–Au fertile, whereas those at Machang, Huangdaoshan, and Tuncang are largely barren. It is proposed that adakitic plutons formed by partial melting of the subducted slabs have high metallogenetic potentiality in the area.     

安徽铜陵晚中生代侵入岩磷灰石原位地球化学——成岩成矿制约

安徽铜陵地区大规模铜、金矿床与晚中生代侵入岩密切相关.本文选取铜陵地区4个代表性成矿侵入岩体(金口岭花岗闪长岩、铜官山和冬瓜山石英二长闪长岩、朝山辉石二长闪长岩)进行了磷灰石原位地球化学研究,探讨其对成岩成矿的指示.铜陵侵入岩磷灰石有较高的Sr/Y值(平均值3. 19)和低Y含量,指示其为埃达克质岩. 4个岩体磷灰石F含量为2. 63%～4. 02%,属氟磷灰石.磷灰石样品有较高的REE含量(825×10-6～5 853×10-6)、中等的δEu值(0. 37～0. 88)、高log fO2值(-12. 3～-9. 86)、较高的Cl含量(多> 0. 2%)和Cl/F值,暗示铜陵侵入岩起源于高氧逸度的壳幔岩浆混合源区.研究结果表明,铜陵地区铜、金成矿作用可能与由板块而来的富Cl流体、氧化环境和壳幔混合作用密切相关.     

铜陵中酸性侵入岩成因及锆石SHRIMP定年

铜陵地区高钾钙碱性系列侵入岩包括辉长闪长岩+石英二长闪长岩+花岗闪长岩,橄榄安粗岩系列侵入岩包括辉石二长闪长岩+二长岩+石英二长岩。高钾钙碱性系列侵入岩中含有富云母包体和微粒闪长质包体以及镁铁质石英二长闪长质包体,与区内的铜(金)矿化关系密切;橄榄安粗岩系列岩体中含多种深源堆积岩包体,与金(铜)、银、铅、锌等矿化关系密切。锆石SHRIMP定年结果表明,石英二长闪长岩为140Ma左右,花岗闪长岩为142～146Ma,辉长闪长岩为143Ma,辉石二长闪长岩为138～142Ma,二长岩为143Ma,可见两个系列侵入岩的年龄既有一定的差别,也有一些重叠。岩石地球化学及包体岩石学研究表明,橄榄安粗岩系列岩石可能为幔源碱性玄武质岩浆分异后形成,高钾钙性系列岩石可能为分异的幔源岩浆与壳源岩浆混合后形成。     

邯邢地区中生代侵入岩中磷灰石的成因矿物学研究

氧逸度为有效的氧分压,是实验岩石学中重要的研究课题,岩浆的氧逸度是继温度、压力、浓度等影响成岩成矿过程的关键性物理化学参数。本文利用磷灰石的氧逸度计,对邯邢地区六大主要岩体的岩浆氧逸度进行了计算。研究结果显示,样品中的磷灰石主要为羟-氟磷灰石,磷灰石的形态、成分和结构特征指示其为岩浆成因。磷灰石中的Mn元素在晶格中有两种方式,多以Mn3＋和Mn5＋的方式进入晶格。磷灰石氧逸度计计算的logfo2为-12.31~-9.75,均值-11.02。参考与磷灰石共生角闪石的形成温度,认为邯邢地区岩浆岩普遍具有较高的氧逸度。根据磷灰石氧逸度值与矿床规模的填图结果,认为并非氧逸度越高越有利于邯邢式铁矿的形成。结合矿物学填图等值线闭合的趋势,进而推断邯邢地区中部的符山和武安岩体深部可能仍存在较好的找矿远景。     

安徽铜陵凤凰山燕山期中酸性侵入岩地球化学特征及其与金属成矿关系

安徽铜陵凤凰山铜矿是铜陵矿集区内最典型的矽卡岩型铜矿床之一,也是凤凰山矿田内规模最大的铜矿床。矿区内新屋里岩体属于高钾钙碱性系列,主要岩性为石英二长闪长岩和花岗闪长岩。岩石地球化学特征表明凤凰山中酸性侵入岩岩浆属于壳幔混合型,原始岩浆来源于上地幔碱性玄武岩区并有地壳物质混染,在岩浆不断演化过程中有外来物质的加入,成岩过程以混合作用为主。凤凰山铜矿体分布于岩体与大理岩的内矽卡岩带上,岩体中铜含量较高。铜矿体是岩浆期后热液交代碳酸盐地层形成的。矿体的空间分布受构造变形-岩浆侵入高温高压作用的双重控制。矿化经历了从高温矽卡岩阶段到中低温热液阶段的多期次复合成矿作用。     

Late Mesozoic high-K calc-alkaline magmatism in Southeast China: the Tongling example

ABSTRACT

We report new zircon U–Pb ages, Hf isotopic and geochemical results for the Tongling granitic plutons of Southeast China. SHRIMP U–Pb ages for the Miaojia quartz monzodiorite porphyrite,the Tianebaodan and Tongguanshan quartz monzodiorites, the Xinqiaotou granodiorite porphyry, and the Shatanjiao and Nanhongchong granodiorite are 143 ± 2, 141 ± 1 and 142 ± 1, 147 ± 1, and 145 ± 1 and 139 ± 1 Ma, respectively. Combined with previous geochronological data, our results indicate that the porphyritic rocks are older than rocks of the same type lacking porphyritic texture. Geochemically, these high-K calc-alkaline intrusive rocks are characterized by arc-like trace element distribution patterns, with significant enrichment in LILE and LREE but depletion in HFSE. Lu–Hf isotopic compositions of zircons from the high-K calc-alkaline (HKCA) rocks have ε_Hf(t) values of magmatic 139–147 Ma zircons from ?8.1 to ?25.6, with two-stage model ages (t_DM2) of 1.71–2.67 Ga, whereas ε_Hf(t) values of inherited 582–844 Ma zircons range from 5.4 to ?9.5, with t_DM2 of 1.39–2.22 Ma, younger than t_DM2 values of igneous zircon, indicating that newly formed mantle material was added to the continental crust of the Yangtze Block. Moreover, ε_Hf(t) values of inherited zircon cores older than 1000 Ma are from ?7.8 to ?26, similar to magmatic zircons, and the t_DM2 values are all greater than 3.0 Ga (3.16–3.75 Ga), reflecting partial melting of ancient sialic material. We conclude that the plutonic melts were derived from both the enriched mantle and the ancient crust. The HKCA Tongling intrusions coincide temporally with the J₃–K₁ magmatic event that was widespread in Southeast China. This igneous activity may have accompanied sinistral slip along the Tan-Lu fault due to oblique subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific plate.     

铜陵地区中酸性侵入岩及其包体的成因和矿物温压计的应用

铜陵地区中酸性侵入岩可划分为橄榄安粗岩系列和高钾钙碱性系列。前者岩石组合为辉石二长闪长岩+二长岩+石英二长岩,后者为辉长闪长岩+石英二长闪长岩+花岗闪长岩。两个系列岩石的组成矿物种类相似,但在不同岩石中的含量不同,主要造岩矿物为斜长石、辉石、角闪石、黑云母、钾长石、石英。橄榄安粗岩系列岩石中含有大量的深源包体,包括辉石堆积岩包体、角闪石堆积岩包体和角闪石辉长质堆积岩包体,主要矿物为辉石、角闪石,其次为尖晶石、斜长石、磷灰石、金云母;高钾钙碱性系列岩石中含大量的微粒闪长质包体、镁铁质石英二长闪长质包体和富云母包体,主要矿物为斜长石、角闪石、黑云母。在考虑温压计使用条件的前提下,选择合适的温压计计算了两个系列侵入岩及包体形成的温压条件。结果表明,橄榄安粗岩系列侵入岩侵位深度(4～6km)略小于高钾钙碱性系列侵入岩(6～7km),各种堆积包体形成于45～65km的深位岩浆房,微粒闪长质包体形成于12～15km的浅位岩浆房,镁铁质石英二长闪长质包体是早期侵入岩的边缘相,而富云母包体可能为地壳部分熔融的残余相。     

The Ordovician igneous rocks with high Sr/Y at the Tongshan porphyry copper deposit,satellite of the Duobaoshan deposit,and their metallogenic role

A strong link between high Sr/Y arc magmas and porphyry Cu–Mo–Au deposits has been recognized in recent years. The Tongshan and Duobaoshan deposits are representative large Cu–Mo–Au deposits in NE China. We report LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb crystallization age of 471.5 ± 1.3 Ma for Tongshan ore-related granitoid. Re–Os isotopic analyses of the two chalcopyrite samples from Tongshan deposit show a model age range of 470.2–477.1 Ma. The Duobaoshan and Tongshan ore-related granitoids show higher Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios. The δ³⁴S values of sulphides from the Duobaoshan and Tongshan deposits vary from −2.3‰ to 0.0‰, belonging to a magmatic-hydrothermal system. The Pb isotopic ratios of the sulphides from the Duobaoshan and Tongshan deposit range from 17.201 to 18.453 for ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, 15.445 to 15.551 for ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and 36.974 to 37.999 for ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, indicating the addition of lower crustal material. The Duobaoshan and Tongshan granitoids were formed in a subduction-related continental arc setting, produced by partial melting of juvenile hydrous basalts underplating the deep continental crust during the Ordovician.     

铜陵地区铜官山矿田侵入岩锆石SHRIMP定年

铜陵铜官山矿田的中酸性侵入岩属高钾钙碱性系列,主要岩石类型为石英二长闪长岩和花岗闪长岩。本文对该矿田内的铜官山岩体和天鹅抱蛋岩体进行了锆石的SHRIMPU-Pb定年。结果表明,铜官山和天鹅抱蛋石英二长闪长岩的锆石SHRIMPU-Pb年龄几乎相同,分别为141.8±1.0Ma和141.3±1.3Ma,反映它们是同一次岩浆侵入作用的产物。结合锆石CL分析得出,两岩体中均含有新太古代、古元古代和新元古代岩浆型的继承性锆石核,说明本区岩浆的源岩含有古老的下地壳成分,锆石微量及稀土元素特征也表明其为陆壳而非洋壳成因,结合同位素和包体特征,得出岩浆来自富集地幔并含有古老地壳成分。     

溧水盆地晚中生代基性火山岩成因与深部动力学过程探讨

下扬子地区溧水盆地晚中生代龙王山组基性火山岩属高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列,具有低MgO(3.16%～4.97%)和相容元素含量(如Cr11～34μg/g、Ni 9～27 μg/g),强烈富集大离子亲石元素(Ba/Nb=94～144)、轻稀土元素(La/Nb=3.7～4.6)和亏损Nb-Ta,稍高的Sr同位素组成[(87Sr/86Sr)i=0.705 73～0.706 17]和具弱负εNd(t)值(-3.0～-1.9).龙王山组基性火山岩的元素-同位素地球化学特征反映其来源于富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素的岩石圈地幔;它们在Sr-Nd同位素组成上与大别-苏鲁造山带同时代的基性火成岩具有明显的差别,暗示其熔融源区不大可能受到俯冲陆壳的改造富集作用,更可能是早期具高Rb/Sr、低Sm/Nd和亏损高场强元素的流体/熔体交代作用的结果,总体上具有俯冲大洋板片交代作用的特征.在岩浆熔融深部动力学方面,晚中生代高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩浆的起源主要归结于深部岩石圈地幔的热扰动作用和岩石圈伸展-减薄作用,在时空上匹配于同时代郯庐断裂带的巨大走滑活动.     

Underplating of Mesozoic Mantle-derived Magmas in Tongling, Anhui Province: Evidence from Megacrysts and Xenoliths

Lithological observations and mineralogical analyses on pyroxene and hornblende megacrysts and pyroxene and hornblende cumulates in xenoliths in the Mesozoic plutons of the Tongling region, Anhui Province, provide evidence for the magmatic underplating of mantle-derived alkali-olivine basalt at circa 140 Ma. The pyroxene and hornblende megacrysts and cumulates were formed through the AFC process at depths ranging from 27 to 35 km.     

冀东青龙地区中生代花岗岩的岩石成因和地质意义

冀东青龙地区中生代发育多期花岗质岩浆活动。本文系统报道了青龙地区三叠纪都山花岗岩和侏罗纪白家店花岗岩及其镁铁质微粒包体(MMEs)的锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成。锆石SIMS U-Pb定年结果显示,都山花岗岩的结晶年龄为215.7±2.3Ma,指示了晚三叠世岩浆活动;而白家店花岗岩及其包体的结晶年龄分别为170.5±2.0Ma和172.4±2.0Ma,指示了中侏罗世岩浆活动。都山花岗岩以低含量的MgO、Fe_2O_3~T、Cr和Ni,高(La/Yb)_N、Sr/Y比值及低Yb和Y含量,低的初始~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr比值(0.7042~0.7044)、极负的ε_(Nd)(t)值(-19.8~-14.4),很负的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-17.6~-13.0,除了2个较大值-5.6和-8.6)和接近晚太古代的Hf模式年龄,显示出主要来源于晚太古代下地壳重熔,可能有少量幔源物质加入。综合的岩石学、矿物学、地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素数据(白家店花岗岩:(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7051~0.7065,ε_(Nd)(t)=-13.4~-10.8,ε_(Hf)(t)=-11.8~-8.2;MMEs:(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7059~0.7062,ε_(Nd)(t)=-11.1~-7.0,ε_(Hf)(t)=-3.7~+3.4),表明了白家店花岗岩和MMEs为亏损地幔来源的镁铁质岩浆和下地壳来源的长英质岩浆通过混合形成。从晚三叠世都山花岗岩到中侏罗世白家店花岗岩,它们成因的明显差异,揭示了地幔角色的转换(从只提供热量几乎不提供物质到既提供能量又提供物质),暗示华北东部岩石圈在这一时期可能发生一次重要减薄。     

岩浆作用过程的矿物记录:以邯邢地区中生代侵入岩为例

矿物环带结构是岩浆过程的良好记录,而矿物温压计可以定量计算岩浆的物理化学条件。该次研究对邯邢地区中生代侵入岩中两个浅成侵入体中典型的斜长石斑晶进行了电子探针和LA-ICP-MS元素面扫描,同时对其中不同成因的角闪石晶体进行了电子探针分析和物理化学条件计算。通过研究发现这两个样品中的斜长石斑晶属于循环晶。辉石闪长玢岩中的斜长石斑晶主要成分为更长石,而斑状石英二长岩中斜长石斑晶主要成分为中长石和拉长石。两者具有明显不同的环带结构,分别记录了不同的岩浆混合过程:前者记录了基性岩浆多次注入酸性岩浆房,并最终获得体积优势;后者记录了少量基性岩浆注入酸性岩浆房内,两者不断混合,形成均质化岩浆的过程。Fe元素从斜长石中心到边部有富集的趋势,表明岩浆最终向富铁的方向演化。角闪石温压计的计算结果表明,辉石闪长玢岩的岩浆房深度在5.5 km左右,温度大约为850 ℃,氧逸度大约为ΔNNO+1,熔体中的含水量大约为4.0%,其最终侵位于2.1 km的地壳深度。而斑状石英二长岩最终定位于2.0 km的地壳深度,角闪石结晶的平均温度为737 ℃,相对氧逸度为ΔNNO+1.2,熔体含水量为3.9%。     

南岭地区中生代两种成矿花岗质岩的岩石学和矿物学特征探讨

南岭地区是我国重要的有色金属矿产资源集中区,中生代多金属成矿与本区广泛分布的花岗质岩石具有密切的成因关系.本文在总结南岭地区与花岗质岩石有关的钨锡钼铋和铜(钼)铅锌金银两类多金属矿床时空分布规律、岩体特征的基础上,探讨并对比了这两种成矿花岗质岩的岩石学和矿物学特征,指出:①与钨锡钼铋成矿有关的岩浆岩以壳源物质重熔形成的黑云母花岗岩为主,但不少岩体也带有幔源物质信息.造岩矿物组合为石英+钾长石+斜长石+黑云母+白云母±角闪石,石英、长石、黑云母包含结构十分发育.斜长石以钠长石为主,An平均值为8;黑云母为富铁黑云母—铁叶云母—铝铁叶云母,MF值为0.001～0.5311;个别岩体中含角闪石,Mg# =0.21～0.53.②与铜(钼)铅锌金银成矿有关的岩浆岩以壳幔混源的花岗闪长岩为主.造岩矿物组合为石英+斜长石+钾长石+黑云母+角闪石±白云母,包含结构不发育.斜长石以更长石为主,An平均值为22;黑云母为富镁黑云母,MF值为0.5120～0.7216;普遍见有角闪石,Mg# =0.48～1.00.两类成矿岩浆岩的岩石学和矿物学差异可以为南岭花岗质岩石地区找矿提供初步的指示意义.     

浙东地区晚中生代火山岩地球化学特征、岩石成因及构造环境

中国东部中生代发生的大规模岩浆活动是地学界长期以来关注的课题之一。本文通过对浙东地区晚中生代火山岩锆石U-Pb年代学、主量、稀土及微量元素地球化学的研究,讨论其岩石成因及形成的构造环境。研究表明,大爽组底部火山岩年龄为155.2±1.4 Ma （MSWD = 0.83）,显示浙东地区晚中生代火山岩的形成时代并不限于白垩纪,火山喷发至少于晚侏罗世就已经开始;岩石总体属高钾钙碱性系列,少量属钾玄岩系列;基性岩石、中性岩石与中酸性（酸性）岩之间不具有同源演化关系,基性岩石来源于富集地幔,并受到了不同程度的地壳混染,中性岩石可能来源于先存于下地壳深部的新元古代岛弧岩石,中酸性（酸性）岩石来源于地壳,中酸性岩浆与酸性岩浆之间存在演化关系;岩石总体形成于地壳幕式减薄环境,而其弧岩浆岩特征主要反映源岩属性。     

Petrogenesis of Permo-Triassic intrusive rocks in Northern Liaoning Province,NE China: implications for the closure of the eastern Paleo-Asian Ocean

ABSTRACT

The Changchun-Yanji belt recorded widespread Permo-Triassic magmatism, but their origins remain unclear, inhibiting a comprehensive understanding of the magmatic response to the final closure of the Paleo-Asian ocean in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Here, we present new geochronological, geochemical, and Hf isotopic data for the Permo-Triassic plutons from Northern Liaoning province, NE China. Combined the published ages with our new data, the Permo-Triassic magmatism in the eastern CAOB can be divided into five episodes: early Permian (293–274 Ma), middle–late Permian (270–257 Ma), latest late Permian–Middle Triassic (255–242 Ma), Late Triassic (240–215 Ma), and latest Late Triassic (209–200 Ma). The middle Permian and Late Triassic mafic plutons (i.e. ~266 Ma Mengjiagou gabbro–diorite, ~240 Ma Jiancaicun gabbro and ~224 Ma Shudetun gabbro-diorite) contain relatively high TFe₂O₃, MgO, Cr and Ni contents with positive ε_Hf(t) values (+1.2 to +7.2), suggesting a depleted mantle origin. These mafic rocks together with the coeval granitoids make up typical bimodal associations, suggesting that they were formed under an extensional environment. The conclusions are also supported by occurrence of A-type granites during 270–257 Ma and 240–215 Ma. By contrast, the granitoids of 255–242 Ma in the eastern CAOB, including the Jianshanzi (~251 Ma) and Daganhe (~242 Ma) monzogranites, show typical geochemical features of adakitic granites, with high Sr/Y ratios and negative ε_Hf(t) values (–8.6 to – 22.0), suggesting that the magmas were generated through partial melting of thickened ancient lower crust. Combined with previous studies, a four-stage tectonic evolution scenario was proposed: (1) active continental margin stage during 293–274 Ma; (2) continuing subduction resulted in the initiation collision, moderate crustal thickening, and slab break-off during 270–257 Ma; (3) final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean associated with continued crustal thickening occurred during 255–242 Ma; (4) lithospheric delamination in a post-collisional extensional environment occurred during 240–215 Ma.
