| Abstract: | The granitic dykes in the Badu Group, Zhejiang Province, South China provide important insights on tectonic setting and crustal evolution of the South China Block (SCB) and the Indochina Block during Triassic. Here we report LA-ICP-MS U–Pb data of granitic rocks from the Hucun and Kengkou which show early Triassic ages of 242 ± 2 and 232 ± 3 Ma, respectively, representing their timing of emplacement. The dyke rocks are enriched in K, Al, LREE, Rb, Th, U, and Pb, and are depleted in Nb, Ta, Sr, and Ti. The rocks are characterized by highly fractionated REE patterns with (La/Yb)N ratios of 28.46–38.07 with strong negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.65–0.73). In situ Hf isotopic analyses of zircons from the Hucun granite yielded ?Hf(t) values of ?13.9 to ?6.4 and two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 1.68–2.15 Ga, which indicate that the magma was formed by partial melting of the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary protoliths in the Cathaysia Block. The zircons from the Kengkou granite have ?Hf(t) values ranging from ?40.7 to 31.5 and yield two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 0.99–2.49 Ga, indicating magma origin from a mixed source. The Hucun and Kengkou dykes, together with the Triassic A-type granites in SE China were probably generated during magmatism associated with crust–mantle decoupling along the convergent plate boundary between SCB and the Indochina Block. |
