英文摘要 | Widespread crust-derived granitoids in North China provide evidence of Mesozoic lithospheric thinning and destruction of the North China Craton. However, the link between lower crust and lithospheric mantle reactivation remains poorly understood. We present whole-rock geochemistry and zircon O-Hf isotopes for Early Cretaceous peralkaline A-type granites (i.e., Xiwanzi, Xiangshan, and Yansehu) from the Yanshan Mountains of the eastern block of the North China Craton. The Xiwanzi granite has a U-Pb age of 134.3 +/- 0.4 Ma, with homogeneous whole-rock Nd isotopes [e(Nd)(t) = -7.7 to -7.5] but highly variable zircon O-Hf isotopes [delta O-18 = 5.1%0 to 7.2%0 and e(Hf)(t) = -7.7 to +9.6]. Such isotopic variations likely resulted from a hybrid juvenile source consisting of partial melting of newly underplated basaltic rocks derived from both the metasomatized ancient and juvenile sub-continental lithospheric mantle. In contrast, the Xiangshan (117.4 +/- 1.0 Ma) and Yansehu (116.3 +/- 1.4 Ma) granites have relatively uniform isotopic compositions [whole-rock e(Nd)(t) = -12.2 to -10.8, zircon delta O-18 = 5.2%0 to 6.4%0, and e(Hf)(t) = -17.1 to -4.7], close to those of the Proterozoic mafic granulite xenoliths from the ancient lower crust. The isotopic variations of the Early Cretaceous A-type granites suggest a continuous change in the melting model from the underplated juvenile lowermost crust to the overlying ancient lower crust at high temperatures in an extensional environment. Our results indicate that A-type reactivation of the lower crust of an Archean craton. Significantly, large-scale continuous thinning of lower continental crust provides key insights into the generation of the wide- spread Mesozoic crust -derived granitoids in North China. |
