Abstract:

The Neoproterozoic Dengganping granite is located in the middle part of the Longmenshan orogenic belt, which is in the transition zone between the eastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the western margin of the Yangtze block. It is a typical area for studying the tectonic-magmatic evolution of the western margin of the Yangtze block. In this paper, field geological, petrographic and electron microprobe analyses were carried out on the Neoproterozoic Dengganping intrusion. We discuss the genetic features of plagioclase structure, compositional characteristics of biotite, and the magmatic evolution of the granite. The results show that the plagioclase in the Dengganping monzonitic granite has a simple “anti-ring” texture, mainly for the oligoclase (An12.51Ab47.43Or40.06), In the syenogranite, the corrosive texture is clear, and alkaline feldspar predominates, most of which is sanidine (An7.46Ab42.39Or50.16). Biotite in the granite is characterized by being Al-rich, Fe-rich, low-Mg and low-K, and belongs to iron biotite. Meanwhile, the IFe value is 0.47-0.50, indicating that the biotite was subjected to late fluid modification. Geochemical features of the biotite show that the Dengganping intrusion belongs to the peraluminous granite, whose formation was related to a crustal source. The crystallization pressure and depth are 1.81×10 5-2.23×10 5 Pa, 6.58-8.11 km, and the biotite crystallization temperature is 750-786 ℃. The granitic magma may have had high oxygen fugacity, belonging to the medium-deep formation phase. The results provide new evidence for the 800-740 Ma strongly-extensional magmatism in the Neoproterozoic western margin of the Yangtze block.
