英文摘要 | A mafic granulite body was newly discovered in the Altay Orogenic Belt, northwest China. The rocks comprise a suite of coarse-grained and fine-grained granulites. Orthopyroxenes (hypersthenes) in the rocks have high X-Mg and low Al2O3 contents, whereas clinopyroxenes have low TiO2 and Al2O3 contents. Amphiboles and biotites have a high Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) ratio and low contents of F and Cl. The peak metamorphic pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions are estimated as 750-780 degrees C and 6-7 kbar, and retrograde P-T conditions are in the range of 590-620 degrees C and 2.3-3.7 kbar, indicating significant decompression. Metamorphic reactions and P-T estimates define a clockwise P-T path. Geochemically, the rocks are high in Mg/(Mg + Fe) and Al2O3, depleted in U, Th, K and Rb, and characterized by light rare earth element enrichment and a weak positive Eu anomaly. The Altay mafic granulite shows depleted Nb, P and Ti contents in the mid-oceanic ridge basalt normalized spider diagram. The geochemical characteristics suggest that the protolith of the Altay mafic granulite was calc-alkaline basalt and andesite with an island-arc affinity. The rock has a high Nd-143/Nd-144 ratio with epsilon Nd(0) > 0, indicating derivation from a mantle-depleted source. In the present study, a two-stage model for the evolution of the Altay mafic granulite is proposed: an early stage in which calc-alkaline basalt and andesite with island-arc affinity were subducted into a deeper level of the crust and subjected to granulite-facies metamorphism generating the mafic granulite, followed by the later stage exhumation of the system into the upper crust by the late Paleozoic thrusting. |
