The contribution of magmatic and hydrothermal processes to rare earth element (REE) mineralization of carbonatites remains an area of considerable interest. With the aim of better understanding REE mineralization mechanisms, we conducted a detailed study on the petrology, mineralogy and C-O isotopes of the Bachu carbonatites, NW China. The Bachu carbonatites are composed predominantly of magnesiocarbonatite...
The Xiaoyao tungsten polymetallic skarn deposit in the eastern Jiangnan Massif of Yangtze Block is located at the contact between a granodiorite pluton and Sinian–Cambrian limestone. The intrusions in the tungsten-rich district comprise the Xiaoyao and other granodiorite plutons and granite porphyry dikes. The age determinations by LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dating of zircons indicate that the granodiorite formed...
Peraluminous granitic rocks provide important insights on crustal reworking processes. Here we study the garnet-bearing rhyolites of the Early Permian Xiaotikanlike Formation exposed in the Heiyingshan region located in the South Tianshan region in Xinjiang, NW China. Two layers of garnet-bearing rhyolites were recognized, which discordantly overlie the strongly deformed Late Carboniferous strata...
The Bashisuogong (BSSG) complex is located in the tectonic transition zone between South Tianshan Collisional Belt (STCB) and Tarim Block (TB). The complex is composed of a mafic unit (mainly including gabbro and diabase) and a felsic unit (mainly composed of quartz syenite and alkali granite), both of which are crosscut by several diabase and alkali granite dykes. Here we present LA-ICP-MS zircon...
SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages, geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic data are reported for two types of basalts (Type I and Type II) from a Permian volcanic-pyroclastic succession in the Tubagou section, Baoxing area along the southeastern margin of the Songpan-Ganzi terrane (SGT) in the Sichuan province of SW China. Zircons from the uppermost basaltic flows yield crystallization age of 257.3 ± 2.0 Ma, which may...
The Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic magmatic suites in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) provide important insights on the crustal growth and reworking process associated with the construction of the largest Phanerozoic orogen on the Earth. Among the tectonic blocks of the CAOB, the South Tianshan Terrane (STT) occupies the southwestern margin and is located adjacent to the Tarim Craton. Here we...
