Abstract:

The Cuiluan area (Yichun) in the Lesser Hinggan Mountains is located at a critical location for land-sea transition, and is also affected by both the Paleo-Asian Ocean and Pacific tectonic domains.Hence, it has become an important part of the study of regional tectonic evolution.There are different viewpoints on the tectonic setting and geodynamic mechanism for the regional Mesozoic granite emplacement.This constrains the reconstruction of regional tectonic evolution, and hinder the advance of regional prospecting.Basing on the study in geochronology, lithogeochemistry and Hf isotope of the Early Jurassic Cuiluan alkali feldspar granite, we discussed the granitic genesis and its geological significance, which provides a new chronological constraint for better understanding the Early Jurassic regional tectonic evolution.Zircon U-Pb dating results show that the intrusive age of alkali feldspar granite is (189.1± 1.6) Ma (Early Jurassic).The granitic rock is rich in Si, K, and Na and poor in Ca and Mg.It is enriched in Th, Zr, Hf, Ce and Y, but depleted in Ba, Sr, Eu, Nb, Ta and Ti.The zircon saturation temperature is high (804-810 ℃).The total REE content is high (ΣREE=192.60×10-6-232.80×10-6).These characteristics show that the granite is A-type, with crustal source affinity. The zircon εHf(t) ranges from +1.46 to + 2.27, with the corresponding crustal model age $T_{\mathrm{DM}}{ }^{\mathrm{C}}$=1133-1088 Ma, indicating that the magma source consists mainly of the juvenile Mesoproterozoic crustal material.On the basis of previous works, we consider that the Early Jurassic magmatic activity at Yichun was closely related to the Paleo-Pacific subduction and attendant tectonic extension of the supra-subduction plate.
