摘要
Thelate Mesoproterozoic Dengxiangying Group in the -western Yangtze Block is a rift-related sedimentary-volcanic sequence that is particularly important for the Precambrian tectonic evolution of the Yangtze Block. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating of the Songlinping, the Zegu and the Chaowangping yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 1166 + 6 Ma, 1040 + 4 Ma and 1020 + 4 Ma, respectively. The geochemical features of Songlinping sandstone samples indicate a predominantly felsic (granitic) source for the detritus. The Zegu dacites have high Zr, Hf, Ga, and HREE contents and Ga/Al ratios, and high calculated zircon saturation temperatures, thus resembling A-type granitoids. In addition, these rocks have negative eHf(z) values (- 15. 1-9. 1) , indicative of their derivation from partial melting of felsic continental crust. The geochemical discrimination diagrams suggest a continental rift setting for the Dengxiangying Group. Combined with previous studies, we concluded that the western Yangtze Block was located in an intra-continental rifting basin in a passive continental margin during the late Mesoproterozoic. An early-Neoproterozoic tectonic transformation from a continental-rifting basin to a compressional setting is suggested, and the Yangtze Block was in the peripheral rather in the center in the configuration of Rodinia. © 2023 Geological Society of China.
