Whole-rock geochemistry classifies both suites as peraluminous, calc-alkaline S-type granitoids derived from melting of continental or reworked arc crust. Zircons from Boje are enriched in ΣREE, Th, U, and Pb relative to Katchuan, reflecting crystallization from a more evolved melt. Both populations exhibit HREE enrichment with positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies, but many grains show atypically high LREE contents. Most zircons record Th/U ≥ 0.5, supporting an igneous origin. Discrimination plots (La_N–Pr_N, (Sm/La)_N–La, Ce/Ce*–(Sm/La)_N) indicate dominantly magmatic signatures for Katchuan zircons, whereas Boje zircons occupy fluid-influenced domains. Elevated Ca, correlating with P, suggests local interference from apatite inclusions. Ti-in-zircon thermometry yields mean crystallization temperatures of ~670 and ~750°C for Boje and Katchuan granites respectively, while zircon saturation temperatures exceed these by 100–140°C. Overall, zircon chemistry reveals magmatic growth with hydrothermal overprinting at Boje, processes that likely promoted rare-metal mobility (Be, Nb, Ta).</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"34 2","pages":"212 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147631736","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}

The syenite porphyries show ultrapotassic, agpaitic geochemical signatures, in line with a phonolitic composition.
