Abstract:

To enrich the understanding on the Mesozoic tectonic setting of the eastern Xingmeng orogenic belt,a study of the petrology,geochronology and geochemistry of the quartz monzonite,quartz monzodiorite and quartz syenite of Taxi plutons in the Hengenshan-Nenjiang-Heihe tectonic belt were reported.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating yielded Middle Jurassic age (167.2±1.3 Ma) for the quartz monzonite. Intrusive rocks in Taxi can be divided into high-Sr and low-Sr ones: the early quartz monzodiorite is high-Sr, while the late quartz monzonite and quartz syenite are low-Sr. Our results indicate that the high-Sr and low-Sr intrusive rocks have rather different features of major element, trace element and rare earth element. All these data suggest that they show transition features from I-type to A-type granites, and should be defined as I- and A-type composite pluton. The emplacement was likely related to the subduction and closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and the Farallon plate beneath Eurasia and Mesozoic intracontinental extension. The emplacement occurred under the tectonic background from crustal compression/thickening to extension, causing asthenospheric mantle upwelling and the mantle-derived basaltic magma underplating. This may have triggered partial melting of the lower crust and mantle, forming granitic magma. The presence of composite pluton is confirmed at Taxi, indicating that the crust in the region may have transitioned from compression and thickening to extension in the Middle Jurassic, which constrains the closure of the eastern Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean.
