A newly identified cryogenian (ca. 806 ma) basement tonalite gneiss from the Eastern Karakoram, NW India: Constraints from geochemistry and zircon U-Pb geochronology

چکیده

The Karakoram Terrane (KT) represents the southern margin of Eurasian Plate, mainly consisting Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous subduction-related granites and post-collisional Miocene leucogranites, which intrude Neo-Proterozoic basement. We report for first time existence Cryogenian KT basement as recorded from geochemistry geochronology tonalite gneiss (ca. 806 Ma) in southeastern terrane, NW India. Geochemically, studied is slightly peraluminous (Molar Al 2 O 3 /CaO+Na O+K O=1.1), calc-alkaline volcanic-arc granitoid, strongly fractionated REE (La N /Yb =33.99), high Sr/Y =19.75, more akin to its affinity with Tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG)/adakite. whole-rock elemental data suggest that likely sourced ancient mafic lower crust where garnet remained residue. petrogenetic modeling suggests melt similar observed can be generated through ∼50% partial melting a garnet, clinopyroxene, amphibole assemblage. synthesis comparison present published Proterozoic magmatic records on rocks dictate produced most served parental development TTGs Southern Pamir evolved granitoid Central Tibetan terrane. propose southeast product Neoproterozoic Andean-type orogeny formed northwestern Rodinia supercontinent. Thus, our study favors time, position within Cimmerian belt along other East Asian continental blocks.

Oligocene partial melting in the Takab metamorphic complex, NW Iran: Evidence from in situ U-Pb geochronology

U-Pb ages obtained on zircons from the investigated migmatites place new constraints on the evolution of the crustal rocks in the Takab area. SHRIMP U-Pb dating of inherited zircon in the melanosome parts of mafic migmatites from the Takab complex gives a discordant age with an upper intercept of 2961±72 Ma (MSWD=0.5) and a lower intercept of 24.2±5.7 Ma (MSWD=1.7). In the concordia diagram, th...

SHRIMP zircon U–Pb age constraints on Neoproterozoic Quruqtagh diamictites in NW China

The Neoproterozoic Quruqtagh Group in the Tarim Block, NW China, contains multiple diamictites in the Bayisi, Altungol, Tereeken, and Hankalchough formations. These diamictites may represent three or possibly four discrete glaciations, although evidence for a glacial origin of the Bayisi and Altungol diamictite is ambiguous. To constrain their age and duration, we dated three volcanic beds (V1,...

Multi-step TIMS and CA-TIMS monazite U–Pb geochronology

Multi-step chemical abrasion thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-TIMS) methods were developed for monazite using six samples that vary in composition and age—Amelia, Jefferson County, Burke, Elk Mountain, 554 and Madagascar. To evaluate whether the multi-step CA-TIMS approach reveals complexities in either age or composition that might be masked by single-step analysis, this study presents...

Zircon U-Pb geochronology of the Ottawan Orogeny, Adirondack Highlands, New York: regional and tectonic implications

Both single and multigrain U-Pb zircon thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) as well as sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP ll) dating of two suites of Adirondack granites have yielded ages constraining the principal tectonomagmatic events of the Ottawan Orogeny to the interval ca 1090–1035 Ma. The earliest of these consists of mildly A-type hornblende granites of the Hawkeye...
