Abstract:

To deepen our understanding on the destruction mechanism in the North China Craton, we report new geochronological and geochemical data on the fresh quartz monzonite porphyry from the Huangyugou intrusion in Shanxi. The Huangyugou intrusion is composed of quartz monzonite porphyry, which yielded a Late Jurassic weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of (149.3±0.9) Ma. The quartz monzonite porphyry samples are metaluminous and shoshonitic, enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs, such as K, Sr and Eu), and depleted in high field strength elements (HFSEs, such as Nb, Ce, Zr and Ti). The rocks exhibit LREE/HREE enrichments and weak Eu anomalies. The quartz monzonite porphyry is classified as I-type and shows adakitic features, including high Al2O3, Sr, Ba, and Sr/Y, but low Y and MgO. Geochemical characteristics indicate that the Huangyugou intrusion was formed from partial melting of the lower crust, with mantle-derived inputs and have undergone magma mixing. The rocks may have formed under an extensional tectonic setting.
