Abstract
The Ha’il terrane is one of eight terranes that amalgamated in the Neoproterozoic to form the Arabian Shield during the protracted assembly of Gondwana. Large portions of the terrane are composed of plutonic rocks, but the timing and mechanisms of their formation remain poorly constrained. This study presents whole-rock major and trace element concentrations and zircon in-situ U-Pb-Hf isotope data for the Ha’il monzogranite (Dayra suite), Kilab monzogranite (Shuwayman suite), and the Ha’il diorite (enclaved within the Ha’il monzogranite) of the Ha’il terrane. The Ha’il diorite is highly metaluminous, shows I-type affinity, and was emplaced at 650 ± 3 Ma during syn-orogenic magmatism. The Ha’il monzogranite and Kilab monzogranite are transitional metaluminous-peralkaline and exhibit ferroan, A-type, and alkalic granite affinities. They were emplaced at 640 ± 3 Ma during post-orogenic magmatism. The initial Hf-isotope compositions of the Ha’il diorite (εHf(t) = +7.9 to + 9.0), Ha’il monzogranite (εHf(t) = +8.2 to + 11.1), and the Kilab monzogranite (εHf(t) = +8.7 to + 9.8) suggest their origin by partial melting of isotopically similar and juvenile crustal sources. The crustal sources were derived from a depleted mantle approximately 1000 Myr ago, coinciding with the initial rifting that led to the opening of the Mozambique Ocean. Furthermore, this study captures a tectonomagmatic transition from compressional, syn-orogenic to extensional, post-orogenic magmatism in the Ha’il terrane at around 640 Ma.
期刊介绍:
Gondwana Research (GR) is an International Journal aimed to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their resources. GR is an "all earth science" journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences such as geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, structure, petrology, geochemistry, stable isotopes, geochronology, economic geology, exploration geology, engineering geology, geophysics, and environmental geology among other themes, and provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, ''GR FOCUS''. Focus articles include short biographies and photographs of the authors. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category ''GR LETTERS''.
