Age, geochemistry, and tectonic implications of a late Paleozoic stitching pluton in the North Tian Shan suture zone, western China [查看] Bao-FuHan、Zhao-JieGuo、Zhi-ChengZhang、LeiZhang、Jia-FuChen、BiaoSong

The Central Asian orogenic belt is the largest tectonic assembly of continental and oceanic terranes on Earth due to closure of the paleo–Asian Ocean in the Phanerozoic. Among major suture zones in the North Xinjiang region of western China, the North Tian Shan suture zone, because of collision between the Yili terrane in the south and the Junggar terrane in the north, contains the youngest ophiolitic rocks and may represent the terminal stage of development of the Central Asian orogenic belt in western China, but the timing of the suture zone remains poorly constrained. A sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon U-Pb age of 316 ± 3 Ma (i.e., the beginning of the late Carboniferous) from the undeformed Sikeshu pluton, which crosscuts the suture zone, places a crucial upperage bound for the time of collision between the Yili and Junggar terranes. This event occurred later than, or nearly concurrent with, other accretion-collision events in the North Xinjiang region, implying that final terrane amalgamation was completed in the late Carboniferous. The Sikeshu pluton shares geochemical characteristics of the widespread late Carboniferous to Permian postcollisional A-type and I-type granitoids with depleted-mantle–like Sr-Nd isotopic signatures in the North Xinjiang region. They all occurred during a protracted (ca. 320–270 Ma) episode of postcollisional magmatism that may have been induced by basaltic under plating due to either slab breakoff or delamination of thickened mantle lithosphere beneath the Central Asian orogenic belt. The same postcollisional magmatism also generated Cu-Ni-sulfi de–bearing, mafi c-ultramafi c magmatic complexes complexes,adakites, and porphyry-type coppermolybdenum–bearing magmatic rocks in the North Xinjiang region.

SHRIMP U–Pb Zircon geochronology of the Altai No. 3 Pegmatite, NW China, and its implications for the origin and tectonic setting of the pegmatite [查看] TaoWang、YingTong、Bor-mingJahn、Tian-renZou、Yan-binWang、Da-weiHong、Bao-fuHan

The “Altai No. 3 granitic pegmatite” in NW China is the largest pegmatite in the world that has been found in an orogenic belt; it forms one of the largest muscovite deposits in Asia and is most famous for its concentric-ring structure. Although it has been mined for more than 70 years, the age of formation and mineralization of the pegmatite has not been well determined, despite numerous previous geochronological studies. Here we present new results of SHRIMP U–Pb zircon dating. Three weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages of 220±9 Ma, 198±7 Ma and 213±6 Ma were obtained for pegmatite zones 1, 5, and 7, respectively. The analyses were made on clear,recrystallized domains and overgrowth rims of large, opaque high-U zircon grains. We interpret the age of 220±9 Ma for zone 1 to approximately represent the initial time of formation for No. 3 pegmatite. An additional date of 213±2 Ma was determined on zircon from a small subordinate vein formed in the late-stage phase of the No. 3 pegmatite. This age set the late age of emplacement of the pegmatite. The time span of 213 to 198 Ma may reflect late stage hydrothermal alteration. In addition, a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 277±6 Ma was obtained from small, clear, transparent low-U zircon grains which are more probably xenocrysts. Our new age data indicate that the pegmatite has no genetic relationship with the wall granitic rocks (409 Ma), but is likely related to the early Mesozoic (220 Ma) granitic magmatism that was just recognized. The No. 3 pegmatite was formed in an early Mesozoic anorogenic extensional regime. A stable tectonic setting was undoubtedly required for the formation of the large pegmatite.
