Zircon U-Pb age,petrogenesis,and tectonic setting of the diabase porphyrite in the Huoluotai area,northern segment of the Great Xing'an Range
The study of Mesozoic igneous rocks in the northern segment of the Great Xing'an Range has yielded significant re-sults,particularly in the areas of intermediate to acidic granites and volcanic rocks.However,research on the specific formation ages,petrogenesis,and tectonic settings of Mesozoic mafic igneous rocks in this region has been relatively scarce.Moreover,there is ongoing debate regarding the tectonic setting of the northern segment of the Great Xing'an Range during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous.Therefore,in order to further clarify the formation age,the petrogenesis and tectonic setting of the late Mes-ozoic basic magmatic rocks in the northern segment of the Great Xing'an Range,the zircon U-Pb chronology and petrogeochemi-cal characteristics of diabase porphyrite in the Huoluotai area were studied.The results show that the weighted mean zircon age of diabase porphyrite in the Huoluotai area is(129.1±1.3)Ma,which belongs to Early Cretaceous.The REE partition curve of diabase porphyrite is flat,and the Eu anomaly is not obvious.The samples are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements(e.g.,Ba and Sr),depleted in high-field-strength elements(e.g.,Th,Ce,and Ti).It is believed that the Huoluotai diabase porphyrite originated from the lithospheric mantle source that had previously been metasomatized by slab-derived fluids,and its formation may have been influenced by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.
