Abstract:

In this study, we carried out field observation, geochronological and geochemical analyses on the Jingshan-Tushan granites in the Bengbu uplift, southern margin of the North China craton. Zircon U-Pb dating of the weakly-gneissic monzogranite yielded (160.4±1.3) Ma to (162.8±1.8) Ma, suggesting Late Jurassic magmatism. Lithogeochemical data show that the Jingshan-Tushan granites are overall Si- and alkali-rich, high-K calc-alkaline, metaluminous-peraluminous, relatively LREE-enriched, with strong positive Eu anomalies and subtle Ce anomalies. The granites are also depleted in K, P and Ti, and relatively enriched in Rb, Ba, U, La, Sr, Zr and Sm. Data points of the granites fall into the I-type field in the petrogenetic discrimination diagram, and zircon Lu-Hf and whole-rock Sm-Nd compositions suggest that the magma source may have been mainly derived from the Neoarchean continental crust. In tectonic discrimination diagrams, the data points fall mainly in the volcanic arc granite field. It is suggested that the granites were formed in a post-collision extensional setting, consistent with the geodynamic background of the Late Jurassic North China craton.
