However, their origin and generation remain under debate. In this paper, the Cretaceous Tongkeng pluton with MME occurrence located in the Xiaojiang area of Zhejiang Province, SE China, was examined. Zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the gabbroic diorite, MMEs, and their host quartz diorite all crystallized at 107−106 Ma. All samples from the Tongkeng pluton show a comparable range of initial 87Sr/86Sr values (0.70746−0.70841), εNd(t) values (−4.9 to −2.9), and zircon εHf(t) values (−7.3 to −2.9) with the peak value of −6 to −4. In addition, Pb isotope compositions are fairly consistent. Petrology, geochemical and isotopic compositions, and geochemical modeling suggest that the gabbroic diorite, MMEs, and their host rock were cognate and their primary magma was derived from the mixing between a mantle-derived magma and a crustal magma. The “magma differentiation and convection” model, proposed in this paper to improve our understanding of the origin of the MMEs and their host rock, suggests that the gabbroic and quartz dioritic magmas were formed by cognate magma differentiation, and the MME magma is a portion of the gabbroic dioritic magma that is incorporated into and mingled with the quartz dioritic magma. Misjudgment in the origin and generation of MMEs leads to an erroneous understanding of mantle properties, the genesis of granitoids, and therefore, many other geological processes. Hence, caution is needed when considering the relationship between the host granitoid and its associated MMEs with similar chemical and isotopic compositions, particularly for those exposed in areas where mafic rocks are absent (or undiscovered).","PeriodicalId":55104,"journal":{"name":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","volume":"24 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report a rare corona texture of monazite-allanite-fluorapatite from the Huangjiagou carbonatite in the Lesser Qinling of central China, and demonstrate that the U-Th-Pb dating, trace elements, and Sr-Nd isotopes of these minerals in the corona are useful tools to unravel multiple-stage events for rare earth element (REE) mineralization and mobilization. The first mineralization event took place at ca. 219 Ma as revealed by the monazite U-Pb age, the same as regional carbonatite forming ages, but the Th-Pb age has been disturbed, which shows a negative correlation with Th contents. The second mineralization event occurred at ca. 128 Ma, as revealed by in situ U-Pb dating of allanite, coeval with the intrusions of neighboring I-type granite. The initial Sr-Nd isotope ratios of allanite show a downtrend from the center to the rim of monazite-allanite-apatite coronas to approach the ratios of neighboring granite, indicating an increasing effect by the metasomatism of magmatic-hydrothermal fluids during the growth of these REE-mineral coronas. Therefore, a two-episode REE mineralization was recognized with the replacement of ca. 219 Ma monazite by ca. 128 Ma allanite-apatite coronas on the function of magmatic-hydrothermal fluid metasomatism, and this process accompanies the disturbance of Th/Pb geochronology in monazite. Allanite as the product of monazite dissolution can represent the later-stage REE mineralization tracing the REE reworking processes under the hydrothermal conditions in carbonatite systems. Our study highlights the implication of monazite-allanite-fluorapatite coronas on the REE remobilization and mineralization in carbonatite systems.","PeriodicalId":55104,"journal":{"name":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","volume":"1 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138980784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present new sedimentologic and stratigraphic evidence that shows a marine influence on deposition. Tidally influenced shallow-marine sandstone and evaporitic, sandy and muddy tidal flat facies pass upward into fine-grained estuarine and sandy turbidite deposits, which are sharply overlain by mixed sandy and muddy tidal flat and floodplain deposits. These observations are evidence that the lower Oronto Group was deposited in an epeiric seaway, one of several such seaways that developed during the final amalgamation of Rodinia at a time of globally high sea level. Retrogradational-aggradational-progradational-degradational stratal architecture records changes in the relative balance between generation of accommodation space and sedimentation rates, which we interpret to reflect the combined influence of Grenvillian Ottawan phase tectonic subsidence and thermal subsidence from earlier Midcontinent Rift magmatism.\u0000 We use this revised stratigraphic framework to show that the geochemical proxies of the Nonesuch Formation are tied closely to sedimentary facies and reflect intrabasinal redox heterogeneity rather than global anoxia at the end-Mesoproterozoic. Further, our sedimentology shows that the microfossils recovered from the Nonesuch rocks are primarily associated with tidal flat facies.

In Peru, the Mina Justa IOCG deposit is located next to the giant Marcona IOA deposit. Constraining the timing of Fe and Cu mineralization at Mina Justa is fundamental to understanding the duration and type of processes that generated this mineral deposit, and ultimately to testing the genetic link with other deposits in the area. Previous authors used alteration minerals to indirectly date Cu mineralization at Mina Justa at around 100 Ma. We report Ar/Ar dates of actinolite, U-Pb dates of magnetite, apatite, and titanite collected by in situ laser-ablation−multicollector−inductively coupled plasma−mass spectrometry, and Re-Os thermal ionization mass spectrometry dates for sulfides.

This understanding motivated the geochronological and geochemical study of the early Permian Hongliujing granite complex, consisting of quartz monzonite, granite, and leucogranite in the Central Tianshan microcontinent of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Laser ablation−inductively coupled plasma−mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating of the Hongliujing complex rock units revealed almost identical ages (279 ± 2 Ma to 270 ± 2 Ma). The high-silica leucogranite and granite are characterized by positive Rb and negative Eu anomalies and Ba, Sr, P, and Ti depletions. The zircon trace elements are characterized by relatively low Ti and Th/U and high Yb/Gd. In contrast, the quartz monzonite and its mafic microgranular enclaves display minor negative Ba, Sr, P, Ti, and Eu anomalies, while the zircon trace elements are characterized by relatively high Ti and Th/U and low Yb/Gd. The complex has similar zircon Hf and whole-rock Nd isotopic compositions, with Hf and Nd model ages younger than 1.4 Ga, suggesting that their magmas were derived from an isotopically depleted mantle, with some contributions from crustal melts. The leucogranites further showed relatively large variations of εHf(t) and lower εNd(t) values, implying that their magma was affected by higher amounts of crustal contamination. We suggest that crystal-melt segregation was the major mechanism responsible for the evolution of the magmatic system, and that the early Permian magmatism represents a crust-forming episode triggered by slab rollback of the subducting South Tianshan oceanic plate beneath the eastern Central Tianshan microcontinent. Thus, our study reveals that microcontinents with Precambrian crustal basement were major sites of juvenile continental growth during the accretionary evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.","PeriodicalId":55104,"journal":{"name":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138610269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alkaline brines are hypothesized to have been delivered to ancient Gosiute Lake by the Aspen paleoriver that flowed from the Colorado Mineral Belt. To precisely trace fluvial provenance in the resulting deposits, we conducted X-ray fluorescence analyses and petrographic studies across a suite of well-dated sandstone marker beds of the Wilkins Peak Member of the Green River Formation. Principal component analysis reveals strong correlation among elemental abundances, grain composition, and sedimentary lithofacies. To isolate a detrital signal, elements least affected by authigenic minerals, weathering, and other processes were included in a principal component analysis, the results of which are consistent with petrographic sandstone modes and detrital zircon chronofacies of the basin. Sandstone marker beds formed during eccentricity-paced lacustrine lowstands and record the migration of fluvial distributary channel networks from multiple catchments around a migrating depocenter, including two major paleorivers. The depositional topography of these convergent fluvial fans would have inversely defined bathymetric lows during subsequent phases of lacustrine inundation, locations where trona could accumulate below a thermocline.

In addition to tectonics, a number of factors, such as changes in climate and paleodrainage, as well as the degree of diagenesis, influence basin sediments. The Indus River delta-fan system of South-Central Asia records a history of Himalayan evolution, and both the onshore and offshore sedimentary repositories have been studied extensively to research orogenesis. However, a number of unknowns remain regarding this system. This paper seeks to elucidate the paleodrainage of the Indus River, in particular when it took on its modern drainage configuration with respect to conjoinment of the main Himalayan (Punjabi) tributary system with the Indus trunk river. We leverage the fact that the Punjabi tributary system has a significantly different provenance signature than the main trunk Indus River, draining mainly the Indian plate. Therefore, after the Punjabi tributary system joined the Indus River, the proportion of Indian plate material in the repositories downstream of the confluence should have been higher than in the upstream repository. We compared bulk Sr-Nd data and detrital zircon U-Pb data from the Cenozoic upstream peripheral foreland basin and downstream Indus delta and Indus Fan repositories. We determined that throughout Neogene times, repositories below the confluence had a higher proportion of material from the Indian plate than those above the confluence. Therefore, we conclude that the Indus River took on its current configuration, with the Punjabi tributary system draining into the Indus trunk river in the Paleogene, early in the history of the orogen. The exact time when the tributary system joined the Indus should correlate with a shift to more Indian plate input in the downstream repositories only. While the upstream repository records no change in Indian plate input from Eocene to Neogene times, a shift to increased material from the Indian plate occurs at the Eocene−Oligocene boundary in the delta, but sometime between 50 Ma and 40 Ma in the fan. Though further work is required to understand the discrepancy between the two downstream repositories, we can conclude that the tributary system joined the Indus trunk river at or before the start of the Oligocene.","PeriodicalId":55104,"journal":{"name":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139200463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The highest peaks of the Pamir are in the east, where the ∼250-km-long, ∼N−S-trending Kongur Shan extensional system controls the topography. We combined 115 new apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He and zircon (U-Th)/He single-grain dates from 18 samples and previous thermochronologic data with three-dimensional thermokinematic models to constrain the thermo-tectonic history of the southern portion of the Muztaghata dome, one of the largest gneiss domes in the eastern Pamir. The new cooling dates from the western boundary of the southern Muztaghata dome generally increase with distance from the southern Kongur Shan fault and are related to normal faulting along the fault at near-surface levels over the last 6.5 m.y. The new dates across the central−eastern portion of the dome outline the previously recorded U-shaped date pattern at a higher spatial resolution. The modeling indicates that this pattern is most likely the result of uplift and erosion above a flat-ramp-flat thrust fault at depth over the last 7 m.y. Modeling does not resolve how topographic changes may have affected the observed distribution of cooling dates, but it indicates a faster thrust-slip rate associated with an increase in relief and a slower one associated with steady-state topography. Our results suggest that the modern topography along the southern Muztaghata dome, similar to the rest of the eastern Pamir salient, is shaped by normal faulting at shallow depth, but its growth may still be governed by contraction and crustal thickening at depth.","PeriodicalId":55104,"journal":{"name":"Geological Society of America Bulletin","volume":"438 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
