The article discusses geodynamics of the breakup of the Archean supercraton Superia in the Middle Paleoproterozoic. The discussion is based on data on 2.1 Ga magmatism in the Karelian Craton, where mafic igneous rocks of this age are represented by tholeiites of two geochemical types: depleted and enriched. Geochemically close to N-MORB, depleted tholeiites were studied in the Northern Ladoga Region where they form dike swarms at ca. 2111 ± 6 Ma (U-Pb, SIMS, zircon) in the Hatunoiya locality, and pillow lavas and sills in the Lake Maloe Jänisjärvi locality. Enriched tholeiites were studied in the Lake Tulos locality where they form a large swarm of doleritic dikes of age 2118 ± 5 Ma (U-Pb, ID-TIMS, baddeleyite). The results of these studies provide deeper insight into 2.1 Ga mafic magmatism. Depleted tholeiites with N-MORB geochemistry have a wide spatial distribution in the Karelian Craton and could be formed via decompression melting of a depleted asthenospheric mantle, raising melts along the extension zones, and minimal contamination by the Archean crust. According to modelling results, enriched tholeiitic melts probably occurred due to differentiation and crustal contamination of rising depleted tholeiitic melts through more rigid Archean crustal blocks. Data on ca. 2.1 Ga mafic magmatism in the Karelian craton are difficult to explain within the mantle plume rise model, but are consistent with the model of lithosphere extension due to a retreat of a subduction zone in the northeastern margin of the craton, in the Lapland-Kola Ocean at 2.0–2.2 Ga. The intensive thinning and rupture of the Archean continental lithosphere and opening of an oceanic basin at the western margin of the Karelian craton were probably controlled by the suture zone of the junction of Neoarchean and Paleoarchean crustal blocks, traced in the western part of the Karelian craton. An additional factor that led to the ca. 2.1 Ga lithospheric breakup could be a rise of a deep-seated mantle plume in the Hearne craton, neighboring to the Karelian craton in the Archean Superia supercraton.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"31 6","pages":"581 - 603"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138473292","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 localization of fluids in these reservoirs in the ductile lower crust can vary from isolated inclusions to filling of microfractures over a time scale of several months.

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.

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}
