The Xihuashan complex intrusion in South China, which is emplaced at ca. 154Ma, mainly comprises medium-grained porphyritic biotite granite, medium-grained biotite granite, and fine-grained two-mica granite. Medium-grained biotite and fine-grained two-mica granites are important tungsten-bearing granites and contain an unusual amount of garnet. Garnets from this intrusion are dominated by almandine...
Neoproterozoic magmatism along the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, South China, produced voluminous adakitic and normal arc felsic intrusions associated with many mafic–ultramafic bodies. Dioritic plutons are rare but are important for understanding the crustal growth and secular evolution of the region. The Xixiang dioritic intrusion at Hannan, on the northwestern margin of the Yangtze...
In the Huangling region of the northern Yangtze Block, South China, the 820-Ma Huangling felsic pluton was intruded by ∼800-Ma mafic dikes. These dikes are composed of fine- to medium-grained diabase, porphyritic diabase and olivine gabbro. Quartz xenocrysts occur locally in the olivine gabbro. The rocks are alkaline to sub-alkaline in composition and have SiO 2 ranging from 43.3 to 57.2wt...
Permian basalts are widely distributed in the Tarim Basin and surrounding areas of NW China. The magmatism is represented by basaltic flows in Keping and mafic and ultramafic dykes in Silurian–Devonian strata in Bachu, southwestern Tarim Basin. The basalts in Keping have SiO 2 (44.1%–55.5 wt.%) and total alkalis (Na 2 O+K 2 O=3.20–7.79 wt.%) similar to the mafic dykes in Bachu,...
The 820-Ma Wangjiangshan, 814-Ma Beiba, 780-Ma Bijigou and 746-Ma Luojiaba mafic–ultramafic intrusions in the Hannan region of the northern margin of the Yangtze Block, South China, are used to constrain the secular evolution of the lithospheric mantle. These intrusions are mainly composed of gabbros, but the Beiba and Wangjiangshan intrusions also contain diorite. Rocks from these four intrusions...
Numerous Neoproterozoic felsic and mafic–ultramafic intrusions occur in the Hannan region at the northern margin of the Yangtze Block. Among these, the Wudumen and Erliba plutons consist of granodiorites and have SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages of ∼735 Ma. The rocks have high K 2 O (0.8–3.6 wt.%) and Na 2 O (4.4–6.4 wt.%) and low MgO (0.4–1.7 wt.%). They also have high Sr/Y (32–209) and (La/Yb)...
