| Abstract: | Granitoid gneisses are widespread in Precambrian metamorphic blocks of eastern segment of the Central Tianshan Tectonic Zone,
and they have intrusive contact relationships with their metamorphic sedimentary country rocks of Proterozoic Xingxingxia
and Kawabulag groups. Zircon U-Pb ages from a granodioritic gneiss (IW11-1) and a parametamorphic schist (W05-9) are determined
at the Weiya area. Euhedral prismatic zircons from the granodioritic gneiss (IW11-1) provide U-Pb isotopic discordia intercept
ages of 1218∓17 Ma and 426∓26 Ma, respectively, and euhedral prismatic zircons from the parametamorphic schist (W05-9) display
U-Pb isotopic discordia intercept ages of 1216∓74 Ma and 290∓15 Ma, respectively. A whole-rock Sm-Nd isotopic isochron is
determined in augen granitoid gneiss samples at the Gang-gou-Kumishi area and we obtain the isochron age of 1142∓120 Ma, and
its εNd(t) = −4.3. These geochronological data suggest that these Precambrian metamorphic basement blocks within eastern segment
of the Central Tianshan Tectonic Zone can be produced during 1140-1220 Ma, and occur a nearly homochronous metamorphism. Integrated
to these geochronological data, Nd depleted mantle model ages (TDm) and epsilon Nd(t) values of these granitoid gneiss samples indicate that they can derive from mixing in various scales both
magmas from mantle and crust sources at a late Mesoproterozoic active continental margin tectonic environment. Similarity
in geochronology, Sm-Nd isotopic geochemistry between Weiya-Xingxingxia, Pargangtag and Ganggou-Kumishi areas suggests that
they could be a bigger uniform metamorphic basement block, which could be formed by the assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia
and be separated by late geological processes. |
