Geochemical Characteristics of Bayinzhurihe Pluton and Its Tectonic Significance, Bayan Obo, Inner Mongolia
摘要
The middle segment of northern margin of the North China Plate was influenced by intense tectonic and magmatic activity during the Permian.Dozens of intrusions formed an E-W trending magmatic belt that extended from the Dongshenmiao to Xianghuang Qi,Inner Mongolia,with a length of 400 km and width of 30 km.As a representative,Bayinzhurihe Pluton consists of quartz diorite and hornblende gabbro,which belong to high-potassium calc-alkaline series.They are characterized by low SiO 2(49.72%~59.34%) and high Al 2 O 3(15.79%~19.50%) contents,with Mg # =38~44,enrichment in large ion lithophile elements(LILE,e.g.,Ba=829×10-6 ~1104×10-6,Sr=502×10-6 ~726×10-6),relative depletion in high field strength elements(HFSE,e.g.,Nb,Ta) in primitive mantle-normalized spidergrams,and right-inclined rare earth element patterns,mostly with slightly negative Eu anomalies(δEu=0.63~1.09).Their low Sr/Nd ratios(12~24) and La/Nb ratios(1.33~2.39) may reflect intraplate magmatism involved.Hornblende gabbro shows non-arc-like(Nb/Th =9.6-18.4) basalt affinity compositions.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating of the Pluton yielded an intrusive age of 265±2Ma.Its zircons have ε Hf(t)=-13.0~-17.2 andt DM C =2.12~2.38 Ga,mainly show the characteristics of lower continental crust.These features lead us to conclude that Bayinzhurihe Pluton was generated by mixing of lower crustal-derived mafic melt and minor enriched mantle-derived mafic magma,followed by fractional crystallization,due to crustal extension in post-collisional setting.
