摘要

LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and geochemical data are reported for three representative mafic intrusions in the eastern section of the southern margin of the Xingan-Mongolian Orogenic Belt XMOB,with the aim of constraining the Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution in the region. The selected zircons exhibit striped absorption in cathodoluminescence CL images and have high Th/U ratios 0.22-1.99, indicating their magmatic origin. The zircon U-Pb dating results indicate that these mafic intrusions formed in the Middle Permian-Early Triassic 263-246Ma, rather than previously believed Early Yanshanian period. The three mafic plutons are composed of gabbro, hornblende-gabbro, and gabbro-diorite. Some of them display cumulate textures. These mafic igneous rocks have SiO2=46.10%-54.29%, MGO=6.49%-13.38%, Mg^#[= 100Mg/MgTFe^2+)] =56-72, Al2O3=10.23%-22.37%, Na2O = 1.22%-3.36% ,K20= 0.43%-1.35%, Na2O/K2O=l.22%-2.89%, and 8Eu=0.78-2.69. These mafic rocks display three types of rare earth ele= ment REE distribution patterns, i.e., right-slipped, flat, and dome-like patterns. Meanwhile, they are enriched in large ion lithophile elements LILEs, such as Ba, K and Sr, and depleted in high field strength elements HFSEs, such as Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf. The εHf t values of zircons from these mafic rocks range from 9.5 to-3.8. Taken together, it is suggested that the primary magmas for the Middle Permian-Early Triassic mafic rocks could be mainly derived from partial melting of a depleted mantle metasomatized by subduction-related fluid, and that the ancient continental crust material could be involved in some magma source. Combined with the existence of coeval granitoids in the study area, we can conclude that the Middle Permian-Early Triassic bimodal igneous rock association formed under an extensional setting.
