Abstract

Neoproterozoic island arc assemblage of the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS) in the Eastern Desert (ED) of Egypt comprises juvenile suites of metavolcanics (MV), large amounts of meta-sedimentary rocks (MS), and voluminous metagabbros-diorites (MGD) and syn-tectonic intrusions of older granitoids (OG). We report here the updates of these four rock units in terms of classification, distribution, chemical characteristics, geodynamic evolution, metamorphism, and ages. In addition, we discuss these integrated data to elucidate a reasonable and reliable model for crustal evolution in the ANS. The main features of these rock units indicate their relation to each other and the geodynamic environment dominated by early immature oceanic island arcs to primitive continental arcs. Integrated information of the island arc metavolcanic and plutonic rocks (gabbros, diorites, tonalites, and granodiorites) furnish evidence of the genetic relationships. These include proximity and a coeval nature in the field; all protolith magmas are subalkaline in nature following calc-alkaline series with minor tholeiitic affinities; common geochemical signature of the arc rocks and subduction-related magmatism; their similar enrichment in LREEs; and similar major element compositions with mafic melts derived from metasomatized mantle wedge. The volcano-sedimentary and the OG rocks underwent multiphase deformation events whereas the MGD complexes deformed slightly. Based on the magmatic, sedimentological, and metamorphic evolutions constrained by geochronological data as well as the progressive evolutionary trend from extensional to compressional regimes, a possible gradual decrease in the subducted slab dip angle is the most influential in any geodynamic model for arc assemblage in the ED of Egypt.

埃及东部沙漠岛弧组合的地球化学以及泛非岩浆活动在阿拉伯-努比亚地盾地壳增长中的作用:综述
埃及东部沙漠(ED)的阿拉伯-努比亚地盾(ANS)新新生代岛弧集合体由新生代变质岩(MV)、大量元沉积岩(MS)、大量偏闪长岩-闪长岩(MGD)和较古老花岗岩(OG)的同步构造侵入体组成。我们在此报告这四个岩石单元在分类、分布、化学特征、地球动力演化、变质作用和年龄方面的最新情况。此外,我们还讨论了这些综合数据,以阐明 ANS 地壳演化的合理可靠模型。这些岩石单元的主要特征表明了它们之间的关系,以及从早期不成熟的大洋岛弧到原始大陆弧为主的地球动力学环境。岛弧变质火山岩和碎屑岩(辉长岩、闪长岩、英安岩和花岗闪长岩)的综合信息提供了遗传关系的证据。这些关系包括:临近和共生;所有原岩岩浆都是亚碱性的,属于钙碱性系列,并有少量的托勒密岩亲缘关系;弧岩和俯冲相关岩浆活动具有共同的地球化学特征;它们的 LREEs 富集程度相似;以及与来自变质地幔楔的黑云母熔体的主要元素组成相似。火山沉积岩和OG岩经历了多相变形事件,而MGD复合岩则发生了轻微变形。根据地质年代数据所证实的岩浆学、沉积学和变质演变,以及从伸展型到压缩型的渐进演化趋势,俯冲板块倾角可能逐渐减小,这在任何地球动力学模型中对埃及东部的弧形组合都是最有影响的。

期刊介绍: Acta Geochimica serves as the international forum for essential research on geochemistry, the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth‘s crust, its oceans and the entire Solar System, as well as a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets and the origins of granite and basalt. The journal focuses on, but is not limited to the following aspects: • Cosmochemistry • Mantle Geochemistry • Ore-deposit Geochemistry • Organic Geochemistry • Environmental Geochemistry • Computational Geochemistry • Isotope Geochemistry • NanoGeochemistry All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. In addition to original research articles, Acta Geochimica publishes reviews and short communications, aiming to rapidly disseminate the research results of timely interest, and comprehensive reviews of emerging topics in all the areas of geochemistry.
