摘要
Granite origin is crucial to understanding the evolution of continental crust,yet many concerns about granite genesis remain yielding ongoing debates.A new integrated study of petrology,geochronology,mineral chemistry and whole-rock geochemistry of the Dupangling granitic complex in South China,indicate that the granites in the western complex were emplaced during the Caledonian(418 Ma);they have SiO_(2)contents of 68.1-70.4 wt%,and are calc-alkaline and strongly peraluminous with high maficity[(TFe_(2)O_(3)+MgO)>4.0 wt%]and exhibit^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr(t)of 0.7234-0.7311 andε_(Nd)(t)of-9.0 to-6.7.The granites in the eastern complex,emplaced during the Indosinian(212 Ma),have high SiO_(2)contents(73.3-79.8 wt%)and exhibit affinities with A-type granites,such as enrichment in alkalis and rare earth elements(REEs),and depletion in Sr and Ba along with high TFeO/(TFeO+MgO),Ga/Al and Zr+Y+Ce+Nb;these granites exhibit^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr(t)of 0.7221 andε_(Nd)(t)of-9.2 to-7.5.Geochemical characteristics suggest that the older Caledonian granites were derived through dehydration melting of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks plus additional(~20%-32%)input from mafic magma,whereas the Indosinian granites were generated through shallow dehydration melting of the Caledonian granitoids.
