Abstract:

Petrographic and geochemical data and LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages have been obtained for the Cuocaogou biotite monzogranites, Liujiapuzi two-mica monzogranites at Xiuyan, eastern Liaoning Province. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages of the Cuocaogou biotite monzogranites (162.7±2.5 Ma) and Liujiapuzi two-mica monzogranites (156.9±1.1 Ma) indicate that the granitoid emplacement occurred in the Late Jurassic. Two kinds of intrusions have the same geochemical characteristics, with their major element contents featured by high Si, Al, and K, but low Fe, Mg, and Ca. The rocks have A/CNK=1.01-1.15 and A/NK=1.13-1.33. Trace elements are enriched in incompatible elements such as Rb, K, and Hf, but depleted in Nb, P, and Ti. The rocks have (La/Yb)N=7.10-41.13, and have no discernible Eu anomaly. With high Sr (128×10-6-454×10-6) and low Y (3.03×10-6-12.10×10-6) and Yb (0.40×10-6-1.32×10-6) features, the rocks show adakitic and peraluminous I-type affinity. Combined with spatial-temporal characteristics of the two plutons, magmatism at Xiuyan was likely formed in a continental crustal thickening setting, which may have been related to the Paleo-Pacific (Izanaqi plate) subduction when the Siberian and North China plate collided. This may have induced partial melting of lower crustal materials.
