| Abstract: | Petrogenesis of high Mg# adakitic rocks in intracontinental settings is still a matter of debate. This paper reports major
and trace element, whole-rock Sr–Nd isotope, zircon U–Pb and Hf isotope data for a suite of adakitic monzogranite and its
mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) at Yangba in the northwestern margin of the South China Block. These geochemical data
suggest that magma mixing between felsic adakitic magma derived from thickened lower continental crust and mafic magma derived
from subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) may account for the origin of high Mg# adakitic rocks in the intracontinental
setting. The host monzogranite and MMEs from the Yangba pluton have zircon U–Pb ages of 207 ± 2 and 208 ± 2 Ma, respectively.
The MMEs show igneous textures and contain abundant acicular apatite that suggests quenching process. Their trace element
and evolved Sr–Nd isotopic compositions (87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.707069–0.707138, and εNd(t) = −6.5] indicate an origin from SCLM. Some zircon grains from the MMEs have positive εHf(t) values of 2.3–8.2 with single-stage Hf model ages of 531–764 Ma. Thus, the MMEs would be derived from partial melts of the
Neoproterozoic SCLM that formed during rift magmatism in response to breakup of supercontinent Rodinia, and experience subsequent
fractional crystallization and magma mixing process. The host monzogranite exhibits typical geochemical characteristics of
adakite, i.e., high La/Yb and Sr/Y ratios, low contents of Y (9.5–14.5 ppm) and Yb, no significant Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.81–0.90),
suggesting that garnet was stable in their source during partial melting. Its evolved Sr–Nd isotopic compositions (87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7041–0.7061, and εNd(t) = −3.1 to −4.3] and high contents of K2O (3.22–3.84%) and Th (13.7–19.0 ppm) clearly indicate an origin from the continental crust. In addition, its high Mg# (51–55),
Cr and Ni contents may result from mixing with the SCLM-derived mafic magma. Most of the zircon grains from the adakitic monzogranite
show negative εHf(t) values of −9.4 to −0.1 with two-stage Hf model ages of 1,043–1,517 Ma; some zircon grains display positive εHf(t) of 0.1–3.9 with single-stage Hf ages of 704–856 Ma. These indicate that the source region of adakitic monzogranite contains
the Neoproterozoic juvenile crust that has the positive εHf(t) values in the Triassic. Thus, the high-Mg adakitic granites in the intracontinental setting would form by mixing between
the crustal-derived adakitic magma and the SCLM-derived mafic magma. The mafic and adakitic magmas were generated coevally
at Late Triassic, temporally consistent with the exhumation of deeply subducted continental crust in the northern margin of
the South China Block. This bimodal magmatism postdates slab breakoff at mantle depths and therefore is suggested as a geodynamic
response to lithospheric extension subsequent to the continental collision between the South China and North China Blocks. |
