Magma convection in hybird granitic chamber and formation of cognate mafic enclaves
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
Mafic enclaves in granite are generally considered to represent coeval mafic melts that derived from metasomatized mantle, which can provide key information about crust-mantle interaction. Zircon U-Pb dating indicate that the mafic enclaves (219 ± 4.6Ma) display identical ages with the host monzogranite (214 ± 2.8Ma). Detailed whole-rock chemistry and zircon Lu-Hf works for the Triassic Zhaishui pluton reveal a cognate origin. Both of them share similar trace element geochemistry and zircon Lu-Hf isotopic compositions (monzogranite: ε Hf (t)= -0.99 to + 1.98; mafic enclaves: ε Hf (t)= -0.45 to + 3.26), suggesting common source region. However, detailed mineral chemistry reveals different crytallization condition between the mafic enclaves and host monzogranite. The amphibole in mafic enclaves reveal higher temperature and pressure (757℃, 2.65kbar) than those of the host monzogranite (733℃,1.96kbar). The temperature and pressure (587℃, 0.95kbar) of the Biotite in t mafic enclaves are consistent with that of the host monzogranite (599℃, 1.08kbar). Apatite in the mafic enclaves display slightly higher volatile contents (0.72 wt.%) than those of the apatite in the monzogranite (0.66 wt.%). These results indicate that the mafic enclaves represent early mafic accumulation in hybird granitic chamber, subsequent convection in magma chamber resulted in the formation of the mafic enclaves.
