According to the petrochemical criteria, two groups of coeval rocks are distinguished: Ne-normative shoshonites and high-potassium subalkaline basalts, which have many similar geochemical characteristics. Chondrite-normalized REE distribution patterns show LREE enrichment, with flat HREE pattern, and the absence of Eu and Ce anomalies. MORB-normalized incompatible element patterns show LILE enrichment and a well-defined negative Ta–Nb–Ti anomaly typical of suprasubduction volcanics. The high K₂O/Rb and Rb/Sr ratios indicate the presence of biotite and amphibole in the magmatic source, while the low Sr/Y ratios and flat MREE and HREE distribution patterns indicate the absence of residual garnet. Significant variations in the contents of major- and trace elements at similar MgO concentrations indicate a heterogeneous magma source, while linear mixing trends in isotope and discrimination diagrams, as well as experimental data, suggest the involvement in magmogenesis of not only peridotite mantle, but also amphibole–clinopyroxene mineral paragenesis. An analysis of literature data shows that the manifestations of potassium alkaline magmatism in “cold” island arcs are frequently, if not always, confined to local extension zones. Since such zones are associated with the adiabatic rise of a hot and ductile asthenosphere, it can be assumed that melting involved subduction mélange, which is formed along the boundary of the slab and supra-subduction mantle and consists of hydrated fragments of ultrabasites and metamorphosed oceanic crust transformed into amphibole-bearing pyroxenites. This mechanism makes it possible to logically explain the geochemical and isotopic features of the anomalous alkaline magmatism of the Kuril island arc and the relation of its northern segment with anomalous tectonics.

Zircon ε_Hf(T) values (5.5–7.7) and T(DM2-st) (707–844 Ma) suggest that the granite porphyry originated from the partial melting of the Neoproterozoic lower crust. These granite porphyries exhibit coherent geochemical signatures with regional Late Mesozoic Mo-causative granites.

The post-orogenic lithospheric extension model related to the closure of the MOO provides another plausible explanation for the origin of the ore-causative granites.

The development of the relatively steep NNW-SSE trending S1 relict gneissic banding and the rise of pyroxene and anhydrous minerals indicate that the peak metamorphism (M1) is synchronous with D1.

It is assumed that these differences are caused by the structure of pregranitic basement and the degree of thermal impact on the lower and middle continental crust. An important factor in the formation of granitoid provinces is a mantle mafic magmatism, the estimated scale of which correlates with the volumetric and areal characteristics of the granitoid provinces. The role of mafic magmatism is an additional input of heat from the fluids into the melting region of crustal protoliths, as well as a material contribution through various mechanisms of magma mixing. Mixing at a deep level is the most efficient, resulting in the formation of significant volumes of increased basicity silicic magmas. The petrogenetic role of contrasting magmas mixing at the mesoabyssal crustal level, as well as at hypabyssal conditions is not great, but mingling dikes formed in this process serve as a key argument in justifying the simultaneous formation of mafic and granitoid magmatism. Granitoids of Silicic Large Igneous Provinces (SLIPs) are characterized by a heterogeneous isotopic composition generally corresponding to the parameters of the continental crust. The extremely high heterogeneity of spatially conjugate granitoids is caused by mixing of silicic magmas formed through the melting of a few isotopically contrasting sources, including mixing with magmas of mantle origin. The mafic rocks ascribed to the granitoid provinces correspond to the isotopic composition of the enriched mantle (Angara–Vitim batholith) or indicate a significant crustal contribution (Khangai area). The metallogeny of SLIPs is determined by the degree of erosional section and the crustal protolith type, the metamorphic grade of which largely determines the initial fluid content of silicic magmas. The melting of high-grade ancient crustal protoliths produces relatively “dry” silicic melts, the melting of low-grade crustal sources leads to the formation of “aqueous” melts, the differentiation of which ends with pegmatite formation with rare metal mineralization. The formation of non-subduction SLIPs is associated with the mantle plume impact (in the form of simultaneous basaltic magmatism) on the heated crust of young orogenic regions, where tectonic processes were completed no more than a few tens of Ma.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"32 6","pages":"772 - 803"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778120","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}

For this purpose, rocks (mainly, metapelites) were studied in various structural settings within the Central Zone, i.e., in dome structures, regional cross folds, and in local and regional shear zones. The metapelites are gneisses of similar bulk composition. The rocks contain various amounts of relics of leucosomes composed of quartz–feldspar aggregates with garnet and biotite, and melanocratic domains that are enriched in cordierite and usually mark shear microzones that envelope and/or break garnet porphyroblasts. Study of polymineralic (crystallized melt and fluid) inclusions in the garnet, its zoning with respect to the major (Mg, Fe, and Ca) and some trace (P, Cr, and Sc) elements, fluid inclusions in quartz, as well as phase equilibria modeling (PERPLE_X) showed that the rocks coexisted with granite melts and saline aqueous carbonic fluids (<span>({a}_{text{H}_{2}text{O}})</span> = 0.74–0.58) at the peak of metamorphism at 800–850°C and 10–11 kbar.

Water content in the fluid was no more than 4.5 mol %. The only soluble form of Pt determined in the acetone solution of the quenching phases and in the experimental products is platinum carbonyl. Low concentrations of carbonyl (no more than a few ppm) become detectable using Raman spectroscopy due to the SERS effect (Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering), which is possible in the presence of Pt nanoparticles in the objects under study.

No convincing evidence of a mixed chloride-carbonyl composition of platinum was found in the spectra, which may reflect the lower thermodynamic stability of these mixed complexes at high <i>P-T</i> parameters. Large concentrations of platinum Pt on carbon (up to 2000–3000 ppm) can be explained by the formation of the Pt-C matrix bond and the weakening of the Pt-CO bond in carbonyls, causing their decomposition. Unusual PL peaks were detected in samples from experiments with chlorine-containing fluids, very reminiscent of the PL background of noble metal nanoparticles and attributed to the effect of carbon nanoparticles.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"32 5","pages":"688 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261413","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}
