Petrogenesis and geochemistry of the host monzogranite and mafic enclaves from the Triassic Wulong pluton in South Qinling,central China

The Wulong pluton was emplaced in the metamorphic complex of the Mesoproterozoic Foping Group, South Qinling. A few mafic enclaves which are rounded in shape with sharp boundaries with the host granites in the southern part of the pluton. Based on petrography, geochemistry and chronology data, it is indicated that the Wulong pluton shows some adakitic affinities with depletion in HREE (Yb=0.33–0.96 μg/g, Y=4.77–11.2 μg/g); enrichment in Sr (643–1115 μg/g) and Ba (775–1386 μg/g), high Sr/Y ratios (57.3–160) and Y/Yb ratios (11.0–14.3), and slightly negative Eu anomaly (δEu=0.70–0.83). These patterns suggest a feldspar-poor and garnet±amohibole-rich fractionation mineral assemblage. The mafic enclaves have high concentrations of Mg (MgO=4.15%–8.13%), Cr (14.8–371 μg/g), and Ni (20.0–224 μg/g), and high Nb/Ta ratios (15.42–21.9). It seems that the underplating mantle magma was responsible for the generation of the mafic magma. Companied with the results of investigations for the Qinling Orogenic Belt, it was found that partial melting of the thickened lower crust, which was triggered by the underplated mantle-derived magmas, had generated the felsic magma. The Wulong pluton provided evidence for a mixing and mingling process of two kinds of mamma. Its formation probably represents the oceanic slab breakoff during the late orogenic stage in the Qinling area.     

南秦岭佛坪地区五龙花岗质岩体的地球化学特征及成因研究

南秦岭印支期五龙岩体侵位于中元古代佛坪群变质岩,在岩体南部发育一些暗色包体.它们和寄主黑云母花岗闪长岩界限或截然,或呈过渡关系.通过对五龙岩体的地球化学、锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究结果表明,寄主黑云母花岗闪长岩表现出明显埃达克岩的地球化学特征:强烈亏损重稀土元素Yb(0.33×10-6～0.96×10-6)和Y(4.77×10-6～11.2×10-6);富集Sr(643×10-6～1115×10-6),Ba(775×10-6～1386×10-6);高Sr/Y(57.8-160)和Y/Yb(11.0-14.3)比值,不发育Eu异常(δEu=0.70～0.83),表明其源区是以石榴石士角闪石为主,很少或没有斜长石.暗色包体表现出高Mg(4.15%～8.13%),Cr(14.8×10-6～371×10-6),Ni(20.0×10-6～224×10-6)和Nb/Ta(15.40～21.9),暗示其起源于地幔底侵岩浆.锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年年龄为:225.3Ma±6 Ma,应为五龙黑云母花岗闪长岩的侵位年龄.综合分析五龙埃迭克质黑云母花岗闪长岩可能是由于幔源岩浆底侵于壳幔边界,诱发增厚的基性下地壳达到含角闪石的榴辉岩相或麻粒岩相发生部分熔融形成埃迭克质岩浆,它的形成可能代表了印支期秦岭造山带后碰撞造山阶段勉略洋俯冲板块的断离作用.
