Their generation is usually linked to crustal melting with mantle-derived magmas primarily acting as a heat source. However, the Triassic Bolinchuan A-type granites on Liaodong Peninsula, northeastern China, coexist with a large mantle-derived alkaline igneous complex, indicating a close genetic relationship that provides new insights into the petrogenesis of aluminous A-type granites. The Bolinchuan granites were formed during 230–226 Ma, coeval with syenites in the alkaline complex (230–224 Ma). The granites are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, but have relatively high alkali contents (8.61–9.40 wt%). Their high Ga/Al ratios, elevated Nb, Zr, Ce, and Y contents, and high magmatic temperatures (&gt;875 °C) indicate an affinity with aluminous A-type granites. However, the Bolinchuan granites have relatively high MgO contents at intermediate SiO<sub>2</sub> contents, with Mg# values of up to 47; these features are inconsistent with the melting of only crustal rocks. Instead, these granites contain mineral phases similar to those of the syenites and exhibit major and trace element trends that are continuous with those of the syenites. Their geochemical features include enrichments in large-ion lithophile elements (e.g., Ba and Sr), depletions in high-field-strength elements (e.g., Nb and Ta) and heavy rare earth elements, and small negative Eu anomalies, which are also consistent with the features of the associated syenites. Furthermore, the granites and their accessory minerals have high initial <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ratios, and low ε<sub>Nd</sub>(t) and ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) values, which are similar to the syenites, apart from being slightly less isotopically enriched. These geochemical and isotopic features suggest the Bolinchuan granites formed from the syenitic magmas by fractional crystallization of alkali feldspar, amphibole, and apatite, in combination with the addition of ∼30 % juvenile crust-derived materials, as indicated by modeling. Our study reveals that differentiation of mantle-derived alkaline magmas can generate magmas parental to aluminous A-type granites. As such, the mantle not only provides the heat for the formation of aluminous A-type granites, but can also be the main source of the magmas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18070,"journal":{"name":"Lithos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this belt, the giant Gejiu and Dulong tin deposits are typical of skarn-type deposits and both contain contact and distal skarn orebodies. Tin ores of distal orebodies in these two deposits are composed of cassiterite, sulfide and calcite. In both deposits, most cassiterite grains from these ores are rich in Fe and W and depleted in Nb and Ta. They have <sup>238</sup>U/<sup>206</sup>Pb ages between 81.4 and 84.1 Ma, similar to hosting granitic plutons. Two generations of cassiterite with distinctly different microtextures and trace elemental compositions can be recognized. The first generation (Cst-I) is compositionally and texturally homogeneous, but the second generation (Cst-II) displays distinctly oscillatory zoning. Cst-II contains Nb, W, and U lower, and Fe, Ta, Zr and chalcophile elements (Ga, Ge, In, and Sb) higher than Cst-I. These textural and compositional variations reflect the potential involvement of meteoric water in the magmatic-hydrothermal system. In this system, ore-forming fluids were evolved to more alkaline and oxidized to facilitate the precipitation of cassiterite. Our study indicates that these two deposits in the Youjiang tin belt have mineralization styles similar to those in the adjacent western Yunnan and southern Myanmar tin belts and all these tin belts belong to the SE Asian metallogenic provinces.

The simultaneous and rapid depletion of Cu, Cl, S, and H<sub>2</sub>O in the magma indicates that Cl and S were highly partitioned into the exsolved fluid phase. These elements formed complexes, which effectively concentrated metals in the fluid.

A notable locality where an extensive range of redox conditions is observed in one location is Hole BA1B, a ∼ 400 m borehole drilled by the Oman Drilling Project. A sulfur-enriched serpentinite zone, containing up to 0.6 wt% S, occurs between shallow oxidized serpentinites (&lt;30 m) and deep partially serpentinized harzburgite (&gt;150 m). All three alteration zones are predominantly composed of serpentine. However, microanalysis of samples from the sulfur-enriched zone shows that mesh textures after olivine are composed of serpentine, brucite, and tochilinite mixtures, yielding optically black thin-section samples that characterize this sulfidic zone. It is proposed that sulfur accumulates in this zone via a process similar to those found in supergene ore deposits. Reaction-path models show that at shallow conditions open to atmospheric input, sulfur is mobilized via oxidative weathering of serpentinized dunite and harzburgite. Sulfate-bearing fluids percolate deeper and react with host rocks in a system closed to atmospheric input. As fluids become more reduced, dissolved sulfate is precipitated as sulfide minerals yielding rocks with ∼0.4 wt% S, like those observed in Hole BA1B. Despite enrichment of S in the sulfidic zone in Hole BA1B, Ni and Co contents are uniform throughout all three layers in the borehole. This is consistent with model results which show that Ni (and, by analogy, Co) is less mobile than S, and can be hosted in serpentine and NiFe alloys in addition to sulfides. The sulfur enrichment process may occur abiotically. However, sulfide enrichment via microbial reduction of sulfate and other sulfur species can also facilitate the formation of the sulfidic zone. Bioenergetic calculations show that abundant energy is available for sulfur reducing microbes, consistent with previous work demonstrating the presence of active, sulfate-reducing microorganisms in Hole BA1B and other nearby boreholes. This suggests that the observed sulfur enrichment is an ongoing process.

They can be classified as ortho‑carbonatite (mantle-derived) and para‑carbonatite (crustal-derived). The radiogenic Sr<img>Nd isotope compositions of both types of carbonatites, along with additional stable C<img>O isotopes and radiogenic Hf isotopes in para‑carbonatites, show correlations with geological time. These temporal variations could provide valuable insights into the Earth's evolutionary history.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18070,"journal":{"name":"Lithos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
