Both counterparts contain Calymmian-Stenian rock assemblages along their western margins and as inliers in Neoproterozoic-Cambrian marginal belts. New U–Pb–Hf–Nd isotopic and geochemical data of Calymmian metamafic rocks from the southern Ribeira Belt (Brazil) are integrated with data from the Brasília, Dom Feliciano and Kaoko Belts (Brazil, Uruguay and Namibia) and Angola Shield (Angola and Namibia) to unravel the Mesoproterozoic evolution of the cratonic block. Metamafic rocks from South America present variable geochemical and Hf–Nd isotopic signatures, suggesting contrasting tectonic settings. Rocks with crystallization ages of 1570–1540 Ma and 1500–1450 Ma show signatures of juvenile magmas derived from supra-subduction zone metasomatized mantle sources.

Pelitic granulites in the Kongling terrane record both Paleoproterozoic UHT metamorphism and anatexis, providing an ideal window to reveal the model of plate tectonic during early earth. The pelitic granulites from the Kongling terrane are mostly composed of the coarse-grained unfoliated granulite and the fine-grained foliated or migmatized granulite. The unfoliated granulite preserves a peak granulite-facies metamorphic mineral assemblage of coarse-grained garnet + sillimanite + plagioclase + K-feldspar + biotite + quartz + rutile. The foliated granulite, displaying banded structure of melanosome and leucosome, is composed of fine-grained garnet + biotite + plagioclase + quartz + rutile/ilmenite + felsic melt. The coarse-grained garnets have core-mantle-rim structures. The clean cores are rich in grossular contents and contain oriented needle-like rutile exsolution. Ti-in-garnet thermometer on the garnet cores reveals temperatures ranging from 837 to 1030 °C with a mean ± 1σ uncertainty of 943 ± 12 °C, which are consistent with ternary feldspar temperature (940 °C), suggesting a UHT granulite-facies metamorphism. The garnet ‘dirty’ mantles and rims are almandine-pyrope solutions with inclusions of felsic melt, biotite and ilmenite. Zircon grains have two groups: most of them are anatectic grains, and few of them exhibit granulite-facies core with anatectic rim.

Ti-in-zircon thermometer on the anatectic zircons yields temperatures ranging from 595 to 828 °C (692 ± 4 °C), which are consistent with temperatures of the low-temperature perthite grains (670–740 °C, 705 ± 7 °C) but are lower than Ti-in-garnet temperatures of the peritectic garnets (820–916 °C, 855 ± 4 °C), suggesting a process from anatexis to melt crystallization. These results suggest that the pelitic granulites underwent crustal UHT metamorphism and subsequent anatexis during Paleoproterozoic.

The basement components and metamorphic features of the Rangnim Massif in North Korea can provide critical evidence for a thorough understanding of the tectonic implications of these high-grade terranes, because it was assumed to be an Archean microcontinent that accreted to the NCC during the Paleoproterozoic through one of the three orogenic bents.

However, an essential issue, when the Yangtze Block initiated rifting from the supercontinent, remains controversial. This paper presents new zircon chronology, Lu-Hf isotopic data, and whole-rock geochemical analyses of the Bajiaojing and Xiaoqingshan meta-diabases in the western Yangtze Block to address this issue. The magmatic zircons from the Bajiaojing and Xiaoqingshan meta-diabases yielded U-Pb ages of 1675 ± 38 Ma and 1719 ± 10 Ma, representing an episode of mafic magmatism during the Late Paleoproterozoic. Moreover, the abundances and elemental ratios of high-field-strength elements (HFSEs, e.g., Y, Ta, Th, and Hf) in both meta-diabases are very similar to those of within-plate and mantle plume magmas. This implies that these Late Paleoproterozoic mafic rocks were likely derived from a mantle plume source in a continental within-plate extensional setting. Their magmatic source was relatively heterogeneous in isotopic and geochemical compositions, as inferred from significant differences in ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) values and certain HFSE ratios (e.g., Nb/Yb, Ta/Yb, Th/Yb, Nb/Y, and Zr/Y) among samples. Such source heterogeneity might be attributed to interactions between the mantle plume and the overlying lithosphere. Combined with published ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) values of detrital zircons and whole-rock ε<sub>Nd</sub>(t) values of (meta-)magmatic rocks, we speculate that the Yangtze Block experienced a tectonic transition from plate convergence to continental extension at ∼ 1.7 Ga.

We present evidence for a prominent episode of granitoid intrusion at ca. 800 Ma in the southern Dabie Orogen (SDO), verified by new zircon LA-ICP-MS ages from four separate granitoid intrusions ranging from 807 Ma to 795 Ma in age. The granitoids are dominated by monzogranite and granodiorite with bulk-rock A/CNK and zircon <em>δ</em><sup>18</sup>O values of 0.90–1.10 and 5.03–6.45‰, respectively, corresponding to I-type affinity. This is also supported by negative correlations of SiO<sub>2</sub> vs. P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and Sr vs. P<sub>2</sub>O<strong><sub>5</sub></strong>, and positive correlations of SiO<sub>2</sub> vs. A/CNK, Rb vs. Y and Rb vs. Th. Low zircon ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) values (−15.03 to −3.84) and relatively old two-stage Hf model ages (mainly between 1900 and 2200 Ma) for these granitoids are consistent with primary derivation of magma from partial melting of Paleoproterozoic metabasites. Relatively low Ga/Al ratios, Zr contents, and zircon saturation temperatures and consistently negative zircon ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) and bulk-rock ε<sub>Nd</sub>(t) values are distinct from those of 780–720 Ma A-type granites in the Dabie Orogen that formed in a rift setting. We propose that the ca. 800 Ma granitoids in the SDO were products of variable degrees of partial melting of ancient mafic crust, promoted by heating of the upwelled asthenosphere due to oceanic slab breakoff in an accretion-type orogeny. Our observations suggest that the formation of the unified Yangtze Block was achieved by diachronous assembly of multiple micro-blocks during the Neoproterozoic, consistent with a peripheral location of the Yangtze Block in the Rodinia supercontinent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49674,"journal":{"name":"Precambrian Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573169","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}

Accordingly, the inferred age of the Irene volcanics is variously cited for either the breakup of Rodinia or for the base of Cryogenian strata in the southern Canadian Cordillera, and yet they have not been directly dated until now. Reported here are geochronological data from a volcanic sample of the Irene Formation yielding a U-Pb SHRIMP zircon age of 669.6 ± 6.7 Ma, which is significantly younger than the presumptive age. The Irene Formation is overlain by basin floor turbidite facies that correlate with the Horsethief Creek Group, which represent some of the oldest post-rift deposits in the study area and are interpreted as the earliest indication of a passive continental margin setting for northwestern Laurentia. The dated sample was collected from the upper portion of the Irene Formation and so the transition from <em>syn</em>-rift to post-rift is younger than ca. 670 Ma, which is estimated at approximately 660–650 Ma. Additionally, these new age data place the associated diamictites at the end of the Sturtian glaciation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49674,"journal":{"name":"Precambrian Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142561091","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}
