Abstract:

Airgin Sum area is located in north of the Paleozoic Solonker-Xar Moron suture zone, and is a key region for studying the Xing-Meng orogenic belt. Many previous studies were focused on the Paleozoic tectonic evolution, magmatic rocks and sedimentary rocks. However, few studies were dedicated to the Early Mesozoic magmatic rocks. In this study, the Weijing pluton was selected for detailed petrological, geochemical and geochronological analyses. The results show that the Weijing moyite was formed in the Early Cretaceous (144.7 Ma). The moyite is subalkaline metaluminous, high-K calc alkaline, rich in Si and alkali, relatively rich in Fe but poor in Mg, Ca, and Al, showing A-type granite geochemical characteristics. The low (87Sr/86Sr)i but, high εNd(t) and εHf(t) values of the Weijing moyite indicate that it was derived mainly from the juvenile accreted crust from the depleted mantle. The Weijing moyite was likely formed in an intraplate extensional environment.
