In this paper, we use zircon U-Pb age, Lu-Hf isotopic, and whole-rock geochemical data to show that the Shimian granitic pluton, which was previously thought to be S-type granite in the area, is actually A-type granite. The selected fresh samples for this study are mainly porphyritic biotite monzogranites. They are weak peraluminous, A<sub>2</sub>-subtype granites, displaying high contents of SiO<sub>2</sub> and K<sub>2</sub>O, low CaO, and Na<sub>2</sub>O, with the characteristics of high silica, rich potassium, and low sodium. They are enriched in incompatible trace elements, but low in trace elements compatible in mafic silicates and feldspars, and they are chemically characterized by having high REE and Ga abundances and low Al, Ni, Ba, Sr, and Eu abundances. The major and trace element behavior suggests that the granites underwent the process of advanced fractional crystallization and were likely generated by crustal partial melting. Zircon U-Pb age shows the Shimian granitic pluton was emplaced at 728 ± 20 Ma. The studied granites yield an average <sup>176</sup>Hf/<sup>177</sup>Hf value of 0.282363 (ε<sub>Hf</sub> = 0.8) with a 94% confidence interval of 0.282334 to 0.282384 (ε<sub>Hf</sub> = −0.1 to 1.7), indicating that they are derived from the remelting of juvenile continental crust. We suggest that this newly identified A-type granite at Shimian, southwestern China, was more plausibly generated in an extensional setting as a result of slab window caused by ridge subduction, which can account not only for the formation of voluminous granitoids, but also for the basalts, boninitic pillow lavas, and SSZ-type ophiolites in western Yangtze Block.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"31 6","pages":"681 - 704"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138473055","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}

Modeling with the COMAGMAT and alphaMELTS programs showed that high-Mg <i>Ol</i>-1 with Cr-spinel inclusions cannot be crystallized from a Fe-enriched tholeiitic melt with 4.8–7.3 wt % MgO and 11.6–16.7 wt % total Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> that is parental for the dyke.

Platinum group element (PGE) abundances increase (up to 2.2 ppm) with increasing Cu/Ni in the whole rocks and proportions of pentlandite in a sulfide association. A specific pattern of chalcophile metal distribution with Ni, Os and Ir minima, elevated Cu/Ni (5–15) and Cu/Pd (3200–10 900) along with lower PGE tenor (PGE content in 100% sulfide) of sulfides (2–65 ppm) and Pd content in pentlandite (<175 ppm) compared to those of the ore-bearing intrusions suggest that cuprous sulfide mineralization was not physically captured from highly fractionated sulfide fractions of ore-bearing magmas but is cogenetic with a magma of the dyke. Sulfide saturation, near-simultaneous with fluid saturation and degassing, was achieved in the dyke conduit due to assimilation of sedimentary sulfur and volatiles from Devonian evaporites that is supported by the heavy S isotope composition of dyke’s sulfides with the average δ<sup>34</sup>S = 14.7 ±1.1‰ (<i>n</i> = 31) close to the values for sulfides from the endocontact zones of the Imangda ore-bearing intrusions hosted by the Devonian sequences.
