Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of late Permian andesites from Rongzharinian, northern Qiangtang, Tibet
JOURNAL OF ASIAN EARTH SCIENCES(2024)
摘要
At convergent margins, high-magnesian andesitic rocks (HMAs) can offer vital information about the formation of the continental crust and the interactions between the deep crust and mantle. This study focuses on new identified HMAs from the Rongzharinian area, northern Qiangtang Terrane (NQT). We report the major, trace elemental, Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic data, and zircon U-Pb age of volcanic rocks with the aim of understanding their petrogenesis and tectonic setting. A concordant age of 257.7 +/- 1.5 Ma for the Rongzharinian high-Mg andesites is determined by zircon U-Pb dating using LA-ICP-MS techniques. The Rongzharinian HMAs have high MgO contents (5.88-7.39 wt%), Mg# values (63-68), and Cr (143-185 ppm) and Ni (48-66 ppm) concentrations, close to primitive HMAs. They underwent variable degrees of fractionation of amphibole and minor clinopyroxene and negligible crustal contamination during magma evolution. REE modeling results show that the Rongzharinian HMAs can be generated by 4 %-7% melting of hydrous spinel lherzolite at relatively shallow depths. Geochemical data indicate that the Rongzharinian HMAs were dominantly derived from the mixed mantle wedge source composed of N-MORB-like and E-MORB-like components. Based on the regional tectonic evolution, we propose that the Late Permian rollback of the Paleo-Tethyan slab may induce upwelling of the asthenosphere mantle, resulting in melting of the mantle source and the generation of the Rongzharinian highMg andesites.
