It is established that the Khargitui Formation comprises the rocks formed in different time intervals: &gt;2.7, 2.15–1.95, and &lt;1.7 Ga. It is shown that Meso- and Neoarchean age peaks (2.7–3.1 Ga) are characteristic of zircon from leucocratic gneisses, which indicates the formation of gneiss protoliths after 2.7 Ga due to the destruction of Archean granitoids in the Sarma zone of the Akitkan orogenic belt and igneous rocks in the Anabar superterrane basement of the Siberian craton. The time interval of 2.15–1.95 Ga corresponds to the accumulation of protoliths of mica–quartz schists, which is substantiated by the age of the youngest zircon grains of 2150 Ma and the age of metamorphism of these rocks of 1.95 Ga. The presence of an age peak at 1833 Ma and younger zircon grains aged in the range of 1675–1785 Ma in the sample of mica–quartz schist taken from another area of rock outcrops assigned to the Khargitui Formation indicates that the protoliths of these rocks accumulated after the formation of the Akitkan orogenic belt and the South Siberian postcollisional magmatic belt. The results obtained indicate that the rocks assigned to the Khargitui Formation of the Sarma Group of the Western Baikal region cannot be considered as a single stratigraphic unit, since they formed at different stages of the evolution of the Akitkan orogenic belt.

This study focuses on the transitional phase (ca. 20 Ma interval) between these two stages with representatives of the Deoca granitoids and Ankroet granite in the southern Dalat Zone, mainly along the coastal line from Vung Tau to Binh Thuan. The Deoca rock suite comprises coarse- to medium-grained granites, fine-grained granophyric granite, and dyke phases while the Ankroet suite mainly comprises medium- to fine-grained granite. Although the whole-rock chemical characteristics of these two rock suites to some extent overlap each other with the peraluminous and calc-alkaline signatures and the similarities in element abundance yet exhibit distinction. Rocks of the Deoca suite are characterized by typical arc-like affinities with strong positive anomalies of Rb, Th, U, Pb, and Nd, and negative anomalies of Ba, Nb, Sr, P, Eu, and Ti. The Ankroet granite is especially more depleted in Sr, P, Eu, and Ti and enriched in Rb, Th, U, Ta, and Pb in comparison with the Deoca rock suite and can be categorized as “within-plate” granite formed in the following extensional stage. Zircon U–Pb geochronology of the two rock suites distinguishes two magmatic stages, 93.6 ± 1.3 Ma for the Deoca rocks and 73.3 ± 1.8 Ma for the Ankroet rocks. Zircon Hf isotopic compositions indicate the similarities in source materials of these two rock suites, but they might have been influenced by different geodynamics and magma differentiation processes. Zircon Hf isotopic compositions of the studied rocks are compared to those from the adjacent area (Cambodia, Datlat-Kratie Belt) and suggest that Carboniferous-Permian magmas generating inherited zircons in Cambodia are most likely the source materials of Late Mesozoic plutonic rocks in the Dalat Zone/Cambodia (Dalat-Kratie Belt). This study highlights the distinction of these two rock suites by new observations on zircon morphology and composition. Although they are both enriched in heavy REE relative to light REE, enriched in Ce and depleted in Eu and typical for magmatic zircons, samples of the Ankroet suite tend to be more enriched in REEs compared to those of the Deoca suite, except Eu with strong Eu anomaly. This may indicate the higher involvement of hydrothermal processes on Ankroet granite that is supported by common CL-dark rims of zircon.</p>","PeriodicalId":11352,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Earth Sciences","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140929581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These plutons of high-potassic rocks are spatially and genetically associated with the Kumbel and Kashkasu W–Mo–Cu–Au deposits, respectively, as well as other occurrences of W and W–Au mineralization. Together with other Au, W and Cu deposits, they are parts of the extended metallogenic belt of Tien Shan. The concordant isotopic U–Pb ages of zircon autocrysts for the consecutive intrusive phases span over the interval of approximately 303 to 283 Ma. This interval included the crystallization of olivine gabbro (299 ± 2 Ma) in the Sonkul pluton, monzonite (300 ± 3 Ma) in the Kokturpak pluton, granodiorite of the main intrusive phase (299 ± 3 Ma in the Sonkul pluton and 297 ± 4 Ma in the Kokturpak pluton), and monzogranite (289 ± 4 Ma in the Sonkul pluton and 285 ± 2 Ma in the Kokturpak pluton). Zircon antecrysts dated at 306–311 (to 323?) Ma have also been distinguished. The age data obtained correspond to the pluton emplacement in the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian initially in subduction-related and then post-collisional tectonic settings. Besides, in the Middle Tien Shan, this age interval corresponds to one of the regional pulses of high-potassic calc-alkaline and shoshonitic magmatism. A distinct metallogenic evolution corresponds to these pulses that is expressed in the change from porphyry Cu–Au–Mo deposits related to the early pulse to essentially tungsten (W–Mo–Cu–Au) and then essentially gold deposits related to younger pulses.
