Abstract:
The Changlingzi plagiogranite porphyry is located in the Xilinhot Late Paleozoic Accretion Complex within the Da Hinggan Mountains. This study is focused on the zircon U -Pb isotopic geochronology, Hf isotopic composition analysis and geochemistry of the Changlingzi plagiogranite porphyry. Zircon crystals from the plagiogranite porphyry yielded weighted average
206Pb/
238U age of (248.1±4.7)Ma. The zircons from this porphyry have positive ε
Hf(t) values from 5.78 to 12.41, with
TDM2(Hf) ages from 914 to 488Ma. The plagiogranite porphyry has high content of SiO
2, Na
2O and Al
2O
3, and low content of TiO
2, MgO and CaO, showing a metaluminous-peraluminouslow-K to calc-alkaline affinity, with LREE enrichment and HREE depletion, suggesting I-type granite. In addition, the plagiogranite porphyry has high Sr and low Y values as well as high Sr/Y ratios (74.5~103.4), indicating that the plagiogranite porphyry belongs to adakite. It is suggested that the plagiogranite porphyry was formed by partial melting of the thickened newborn lower crust. And in Early Triassic, Xing' an-Mongolian orogenic belt was in a collisionorogeny tectonic setting, indicating that the Paleo-Asian Ocean had been closed in this period.
