摘要
The source and petrogenesis of peraluminous granitic rocks in orogenic belts can provide insights into the evolution, architecture, and composition of continental crust. Neoproterozoic peraluminous granitic rocks are sporadically exposed in the Tianshui area of the western margin of the North Qinling Terrane (NQT), China. However, the source, petrogenesis, and tectonic setting of these rocks still remain unclear, which limits our understanding of the Precambrian tectonic and crustal evolution of the Qinling Orogenic Belt (QOB). Here, we determined the whole-rock geochemical compositions and in situ zircon U-Pb ages, trace-element contents, and Hf-O isotopic compositions of a series of peraluminous granitic mylonites and granitic gneisses in the Tianshui area at the west end of North Qinling. Zircon U-Pb dating revealed that the protoliths of the studied granitic mylonites and granitic gneisses crystallized at 936-921 Ma. The granitic rocks displayed high A/CNK values (1.12-1.34) and were enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (e.g., Rb, Ba, Th, U, and K) and light rare earth elements, and they were depleted of high-field-strength elements (e.g., Nb, Ta, and Ti). These rocks showed variable zircon epsilon(Hf)(t) (-12.2 / 9.7) and delta O-18 (3.56 parts per thousand / 11.07 parts per thousand) values, suggesting that they were derived from heterogeneous crustal sources comprising predominantly supracrustal sedimentary rocks and subordinate igneous rocks. In addition, the U-Pb-Hf isotopic compositions from the core domains of inherited zircons were similar to those of detrital zircons from the Qinling Group, suggesting that the Qinling Group was an important crustal source for the granitic rocks. The lithological and geochemical features of these granitic rocks indicate that they were generated by biotite dehydration melting of heterogeneous sources at lower crustal depths. Combining our results with those of previous studies, we suggest that the NQT underwent a tectonic transition from syn-collision to post-collision at 936-874 Ma in response to the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent.
