Mineral chemistry, geochemistry and U-Pb SHRIMP zircon data of the Yangxin monzonitic intrusive in the foreland of the Dabie orogen

The lower Yangtze River area, situated at the fore-land of the Qinling-Dabie orogen, is an important re-gion for high-grade mineral deposits in Cen-tral-Eastern China. Nearly 300 different types of Cu and Au polymetal, Fe, and S mineral deposits have been found and mined in this zone[1,2]. The overall distribution of these deposits follows the trend of the Mesozoic igneous rocks, suggesting their fundamental controls on the formation of these deposits.

Early cretaceous granitoids and their implications for the collapse of the Dabie orogen, eastern China: SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating and geochemistry

Two stages of early Cretaceous post-orogenic granitoids are recognized in the Dabie orogen, eastern China, which recorded processes of extensional collapse of the orogen. The early stage granitoids ( 132 Ma) are foliated hornblende quartz monzonites and porphyritic monzogranites. They are of high-K calc-alkaline series and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, with high K₂O and low MgO contents (Mg^# values: 32.0–46.0), they contain high Sr, low Y and heavy rare earth elements (HREE), and have high Sr/Y and (La/Yb)_N ratios, without clear negative Eu, Sr and Ti anomalies. The early stage deformed granitoids have adakitic geochemical compositions and are equilibrated with residues rich in garnet and poor in anorthite-rich plagioclase, and thus indicate the existence of an over-thickened (> 50 km) crustal root beneath the orogen at  132 Ma. The later stage granitoids ( 128 Ma) are undeformed fine-grained monzogranites, fine-grained K-feldspar granites and coarse-grained K-feldspar granite-porphyry. They belong to a peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonite series, and display a flat HREE pattern and have strong negative Eu, Sr and Ti anomalies, with low Sr/Y and (La/Yb)_N ratios. The late stage granitoids are equilibrated with residues rich in anorthite-rich plagioclase, hornblende, ilmenite/titanite and poor in garnet, indicating that the crust of the Dabie orogen became thinner (< 35 km) at  128 Ma. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages and changing compositional trends for these two stages of granitoids indicate that the over-thickened crust formed by the Triassic continental subduction/collision under the Dabie orogen remained until the early Cretaceous, and collapsed quickly in a few million years during the early Cretaceous.     

大别山超高压榴辉岩和花岗片麻岩中锆石Lu-Hf同位素研究

对大别山超高压榴辉岩和花岗片麻岩进行了锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析,结果为原岩来源提供了制约,表明扬子陆块在Rodinia超大陆裂解时的裂谷岩浆活动中发生了显著的陆壳生长。对这些锆石的不同区域进行的U-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素分析和比较表明,不同成因的锆石在~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄、初始Hf同位素组成、Th/U及Lu/Hf比值等方面具有明显的差异。与年龄较老的岩浆核部和幔部相比,年轻的变质增生边具有低的Th/U和Lu/Hf比值但高的ε_(Hf)(t)值。不同成因锆石的Th/U和Lu/Hf比值存在着正相关性,表明变质作用对锆石的U-Th-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素体系有着相似的影响。高级变质作用有时能够引起岩浆锆石增生边~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf比值的显著升高,导致变质新生颗粒或增生边类似于新生地壳的高ε_(Hf)(t)值假象。对榴辉岩和片麻岩锆石核部的分析发现,镁铁质和长英质原岩在大约750Ma左右形成一个双峰式火山岩套,另外包含少量的年龄约为2.15Ga的陆壳。初始Hf同位素组成可分成两组:第一组具有正的ε_(Hf)(t)值,为5.9±0.9～12.9±0.7;第二组ε_(Hf)(t)值在零左右,为-4.3±0.5-2.3±0.3。正的ε_(Hf)(t)值与较年轻的模式年龄相对应,负的ε_(Hf)(t)值与古元古代模式年龄相对应。前者表明,在扬子陆块北缘裂谷岩浆作用将亏损地幔物质加入到大陆地壳中,同时在新元古代中期的裂谷构造带中存在同时期的壳-幔相互作用。因此,在扬子陆块北缘新元古代中期裂谷岩浆活动中,既有新生地壳生长和即时再造,也有古老地壳再造。     

Ultrahigh-pressure eclogite transformed from mafic granulite in the Dabie orogen, east-central China

Although ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks are present in many collisional orogenic belts, almost all exposed UHP metamorphic rocks are subducted upper or felsic lower continental crust with minor mafic boudins. Eclogites formed by subduction of mafic lower continental crust have not been identified yet. Here an eclogite occurrence that formed during subduction of the mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, east‐central China is reported. At least four generations of metamorphic mineral assemblages can be discerned: (i) hypersthene + plagioclase ± garnet; (ii) omphacite + garnet + rutile + quartz; (iii) symplectite stage of garnet + diopside + hypersthene + ilmenite + plagioclase; (iv) amphibole + plagioclase + magnetite, which correspond to four metamorphic stages: (a) an early granulite facies, (b) eclogite facies, (c) retrograde metamorphism of high‐pressure granulite facies and (d) retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite facies. Mineral inclusion assemblages and cathodoluminescence images show that zircon is characterized by distinctive domains of core and a thin overgrowth rim. The zircon core domains are classified into two types: the first is igneous with clear oscillatory zonation ± apatite and quartz inclusions; and the second is metamorphic containing a granulite facies mineral assemblage of garnet, hypersthene and plagioclase (andesine). The zircon rims contain garnet, omphacite and rutile inclusions, indicating a metamorphic overgrowth at eclogite facies. The almost identical ages of the two types of core domains (magmatic = 791 ± 9 Ma and granulite facies metamorphic zircon = 794 ± 10 Ma), and the Triassic age (212 ± 10 Ma) of eclogitic facies metamorphic overgrowth zircon rim are interpreted as indicating that the protolith of the eclogite is mafic granulite that originated from underplating of mantle‐derived magma onto the base of continental crust during the Neoproterozoic (c. 800 Ma) and then subducted during the Triassic, experiencing UHP eclogite facies metamorphism at mantle depths. The new finding has two‐fold significance: (i) voluminous mafic lower continental crust can increase the average density of subducted continental lithosphere, thus promoting its deep subduction; (ii) because of the current absence of mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, delamination or recycling of subducted mafic lower continental crust can be inferred as the geochemical cause for the mantle heterogeneity and the unusually evolved crustal composition.

Geochronological Study of Caledonian Granulite and High-Pressure Gneiss in the Dabie Mountains

Using the single-zircon evaporation technique and U-Pb method, the authors have conducted an isotope geochonological study of the Huilanshan granulite and Shima garnet-bearing plagioclase gneiss (" country rocks" of the Shima eclogite) in the Dabie Mountains. The study shows that these rocks have peak metamorphic ages of 443-455 Ma, which are essentially consistent with that of the Caledonian high-ultrahigh pressure eclogites. This indicates the existence of the Caledonian collisional orogeny in the Dabie Mountains.     

Accelerated Exhumation During the Cenozoic in the Dabie Mountains: Evidence from Fission-Track Ages

Zircon and apatite fission-track dating indicates that the exhumation of the Dabie Mountains tended to be accelerated in the Cenozoic and that the exhumation of the eastern Dabie Mountains was more and more intense from south to north, which is in accordance with the more and more intense dissection from south to north, as is reflected by the modern geomorphologic features of the Dabie Mountains. The accelerated exhumation during the Cenozoic was related to the high elevation of the Dabie Mountains resulting from Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene detachment faulting and subsequent fault-block uplift and subsidence. The average elevation at that time was at least about 660 m higher than that at the present. The intense exhumation lagged behind intense uplift.
