Geochronology and Geochemical Features of the Late Carboniferous Monzogranite in Xiaowulangou of Xilinhot,Inner Mongolia and Their Geological Implications
This study carried out analyses of petrology,zircon U-Pb isotopic geochronology and rock geo-chemistry of the Late Carboniferous monzogranite in Xiaolulangou of Xilinhot,in order to make the discussion of tectonic environment and provide a new basis for studying the closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean.Based on the LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating results,determines that the age of emplacement of the granite is(319.5±1.2)Ma,and equivalent to Late Carboniferous.Petrological and geochemical data reveal that the rock is charac-terized by high silicon,high potassium,poor magnesium,low calcium,low phosphorus,and titanium,It belongs to the high-K calc-alkaline and peraluminous series of rocks;The rocks are rich in large Ionic lithophilic ele-ments Rb and high field strength elements Th,Ta,Hf,while depleting Sr,Ba,Nb;Rare earth elements are char-acterized by slightly enriched light rare earth,Eu losses.The geochemical characteristics reflect that it is partial melting from the low crust.The tectonic environment discriminant diagrams show that this rock is I-type granite representing active continental margin,indicating that the subduction of the oceanic crust during the Late Car-boniferous period still existed,which implying that the Paleo-Asian Ocean didn't close in Late Carboniferous.
