ABSTRACT:The Lu-Hf and Re-Os isotope systems have been applied sparsely to elucidate the origin of granites, intracrustal processes and the evolution of the continental crust. The presence or absence of garnet as a residual phase during partial melting will strongly influence Lu/Hf partitioning, making the Lu–Hf isotope system exceptionally sensitive to evaluating the role of garnet during intracrustal differentiation processes. Mid-Proterozoic (1·1–1·5Ga ) ‘anorogenic’ granites from the western U.S.A. appear to have anomalously high εHf values, relative to their εNd values, compared with Precambrian orogenic granites from several continents. The Hf-Nd isotope variations for Precambrian orogenic granites are well explained by melting processes that are ultimately tied to garnet-bearing sources in the mantle or crust. Residual, garnet-bearing lower and middle crust will evolve to anomalously high εHf values over time and may be the most likely source for later ‘anorogenic’ magmas. When crustal and mantle rocks are viewed together in terms of Hf and Nd isotope compositions, a remarkable mass balance is apparent for at least the outer silicate earth where Precambrian orogenic continental crust is the balance to the high-εHf depleted mantle, and enriched lithospheric mantle is the balance to the low-εHf depleted mantle.Although the continental crust has been envisioned to have exceptionally high Re/Os ratios and very radiogenic Os isotope compositions, new data obtained on magnetite mineral separates suggest that some parts of the Precambrian continental crust are relatively Os-rich and non-radiogenic. It remains unclear how continental crust may obtain non-radiogenic Os isotope ratios, and these results have important implications for Re-Os isotope evolution models. In contrast, Phanerozoic batholiths and volcanic arcs that are built on young mafic lower crust may have exceptionally radiogenic Os isotope ratios. These results highlight the unique ability of Os isotopes to identify young mafic crustal components in orogenic magmas that are essentially undetectable using other isotope systems such as O, Sr, Nd and Pb.

Research subject. The isotopic composition (Pb-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, Os/Os, Hf/Hf, 3 He/4 He, etc.) of magmatic complexes and ore-magmatic systems (OMS) of two ore clusters (Kupolsky and Ilirneysky) located in the subpolar Western Chukotka was studied. These ore clusters differ from each other both in their structural position and the age of their magmatic complexes, within which the largest deposits of Au-Ag type are known. Materials and methods. The Pb-Pb, Rb-Sr, SmNd, Re-Os, Lu-Hf, 3 He/4 He, 40Ar/36Ar and sulphur isotopic systems were studied at the VSEGEI centre for isotopic studies (St. Petersburg), as well as at the Institute of Geology, Geochemistry and Ore Deposits (IGEM, Moscow) and the Laboratory of Stable Isotopes of the Far Eastern Geological Institute (FEGI, Vladivostok). Re and Os were measured using an ELEMENT-2 inductively coupled plasma single-collector mass spectrometer. Sulphur isotopic ratios were measured using a Finnigan MAT 253 isotope mass spectrometer. Results and conclusions. On the basis of the isotope-geochemical data obtained, an assumption was made that various deep sources participated in the magma generation, and the differentiated composition of late melts may reflect the melting processes of the crust upper horizons. When comparing the data on the magmatism of the Ilirneysky and Kupolsky ore clusters, a different degree of crustal rock influence on melt generation was revealed. The Kupolsky ore cluster is characterised by a large influence of mantle sources in intraplate magmatism associated with ore formation processes. This is likely to have determined a greater amount of mineralisation in the Kupolsky cluster compared to the Ilirneysky ore cluster.

The Lu-Hf method has been used in the investigation of geological samples in order to understand processes and sources of magmatic rocks. This paper discusses the reference materials GJ-01, 91.500 and Mud Tank isotopic composition by LA-ICP-MS to investigate how suitable they are for the zircon analysis through this technique. The results show that the three zircons have homogeneous compositions for the proposed objectives. Considering that relatively high Yb contents produce isobaric interference, the results of this work have shown that the Mud Tank is the best reference material, since it has lower values of this element. Thus, the Mud Tank allows to obtain more reliable results due to lower correction requirements. In addition, it should be emphasized that the presented data corroborate the application of Hf isotopes for geological evolution and characterization of magmatic sources. The high abundances of Hf in the zircon grains allow to preserve the isotopic signatures of its crystallization from magmatic sources, allowing to characterize the isotopic signatures of the reservoir (s) that gave origin to that rocks, and in case studies of paleoclimate and paleoceanographic records and/or of sedimentary basins evolution, it allows to identify the origin of the sediments or temporal and spatial changes of the source of sedimentary particles. COMPOSIÇÃO ISOTÓPICA DE Lu, Hf e Yb ANALISADA POR LA-ICP-MS DOS MATERIAIS DE REFERÊNCIA “GJ-01”, “91.500” e “MUD TANK”: APLICAÇÃO DA GEOCRONOLOGIA Lu-Hf EM ZIRCÃO ResumoO método Lu-Hf tem sido utilizado para entender processos de formação e fontes de rochas magmáticas. Este artigo analisa a composição isotópica por LA-ICP-MS dos materiais de referência GJ-01, 91.500 e Mud Tank para investigar quão adequados eles são para a análise de zircônio através desta técnica. Os resultados mostram que os três zircões possuem composições homogêneas podendo ser usados com materiais de referência para as pesquizas referidas. Considerando que teores relativamente altos de Yb produzem interferência isobárica, os resultados deste trabalho mostraram que o Mud Tank é o melhor material de referência, uma vez que possui os menores valores deste elemento. O Mud Tank permite obter resultados mais confiáveis por requerer menor correção dos valores obtidos. Além disso, deve-se ressaltar que os dados apresentados corroboram a aplicação de isótopos de Hf para a evolução geológica e caracterização de fontes magmáticas. As altas abundâncias de Hf nos grãos de zircão permitem preservar as assinaturas isotópicas de sua cristalização a partir de fontes magmáticas, permitindo caracterizar as assinaturas isotópicas do (s) reservatório (s) que deram origem a essas rochas. Têm também utilidade em estudos de paleoclima e paleoceanográficos e/ou da evolução das bacias sedimentares, permitindo identificar a origem dos sedimentos ou mudanças temporais e espaciais da fonte das partículas sedimentares.

Abstract The proto-Andean margin of Argentina consists of several suspect terranes, the origins of which are disputed. The Cuyania (greater Precordillera) suspect terrane was originally interpreted to be of southeast Laurentian affinity, but more recently a southwestern Gondwanan provenance has been argued. Both potential source regions comprise Mesoproterozoic rocks, but we show they are isotopically distinct, using previously published zircon Lu-Hf data. Detrital zircon εHf data from southwestern Gondwana (Namaqua-Natal belt) show no correlation with new zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf data from Cuyania, suggesting that Gondwana was not the source of these sediments. Rather, detrital zircons from Cambrian strata in Cuyania yield Mesoproterozoic zircons with depleted εHf that correlate to the Grenville margin of Laurentia, and a ca. 535 Ma zircon population sourced directly from rift-related rocks of the Ouachita Embayment, thus recording rifting and drifting of Cuyania from Laurentia. By contrast, zircons from Middle to Late Ordovician strata of Cuyania record a larger range of εHf values, correlated with Western Sierras Pampeanas Mesoproterozoic basement inliers of Argentina. These synorogenic clastic deposits record the Ordovician arrival of Cuyania at the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana. The new data require the terrane boundaries of Cuyania to be redefined, thereby excluding Western Sierras Pampeanas basement inliers. The results verify the Laurentian microcontinent model for the origin of Cuyania.

The Alxa block is located in the southwestern margin of the North China Craton. The Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution, crustal growth and tectonic affinity of the block remain unknown or controversial. The Longshoushan (LS) area is one of the few areas that outcrop Paleoproterozoic to crystalline basement rocks in the Alxa Block. In this study, we preset whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotope data from metagabbro, metadiorite, quartz syenite, granitic leucosome and pegmatoid leucosome in the LS area. These rocks all are enriched in LREE and LILE, and depleted in HREE and HFSE. Eight new LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb ages yielded three magmatic ages of 2044 Ma, 2029 Ma and 1940 Ma, and three metamorphic ages of 1891 Ma, 1848 Ma and 1812 Ma. Lu–Hf analyses reveal that the magmatic zircons and anatectic/metamorphic zircons from all the rock types are characterized by positive εHf(t) (−0.16 to 10.89) and variable εHf(t) (−11.21 to 6.24), respectively. Based on the previous studies and our new data, we conclude that the LS area experienced three magmatic events (2.5–2.45 Ga, ~2.1–2.0 Ga and ~1.95–1.91 Ga) and three regional metamorphism/anataxis events (~1.93–1.89 Ga, ~1.86–1.84 Ga and ~1.81 Ga) in Paleoproterozoic. The age–Hf isotope data establishes two main crustal growth events at ~2.9–2.5 Ga and ~2.2–2.0 Ga in the LS area. These data indicate that the LS area experienced intraplate extensional setting in the middle Paleoproterozoic, and continental subduction, collision and exhumation in the late Paleoproterozoic. Combining the geochronological framework and tectonic evolution, we suggest that the Alxa Block is part of the Khondalite Belt.

Relevance. The junction zone between the Uralian mobile belt (UMB) and the East European Platform (EEP) is long, heterogeneous and characterized by asynchrony in the geodynamic settings. For many of its constituent parts, the age, source composition and ore content of magmatic complexes, which are necessary to build a complete picture of geological history, are not completely clear. The aim of this work is to study petrogeochemistry, age, isotopic parameters, and reconstruction of the source composition for granites of the Bitim complex in the eastern part of the Ufaley block (Middle Urals). This structure is considered to be a fragment displaced from the EEP to the east. Research methodology. The analysis of rocks for petrogenic and rare components, microprobe studies of the composition of minerals and isotope studies of U–Pb, Lu–Hf (LA–ICP–MS) were performed. Petrocheochemical comparison was made, author’s data about Ar–Ar, Rb–Sr age and the behavior of Sr and Hf isotopes were analyzed. Results. Granitoids of the Bitim complex formed over a long time interval – 579–520 Ma, corresponding to the Upper Vendian (taking into account errors – to the boundary with the Cambrian). The isotopic labels of the studied granites are as follows: 87Sr/86Sr = 0.703389, εHf (t) is +1.5...+12.5, 176Hf/177Hf = 0.28253–0.282797. Conclusions. The geodynamics of the Vendian stage is the activation of movements along previously existing riftogenic faults. Deep source of magma generation for granites was heterogeneous: the mantle played a significant role, the crustal component was represented by ancient graywacks. U–Pb dating of zircons transformed as a result of the post-Cambrian tectonothermal activity is comparable with the ages of the main geodynamic events in UMM (spreading, subduction, collision). The behavior of F, Cl, S in apatites, which is an indicator of the fluid regime, shows that gold mineralization of the quartz-vein type can be associated with the Bitim granites. Studies are clarified the imagination about the structure of the junction zone between UMM and EEP and can be used in geological and metallogenic mapping.

This study introduces a new zircon reference material, LKZ-1, for the in situ U–Pb dating and O–Hf isotopic and trace element analyses. The secondary ion mass spectrometric analyses for this gem-quality single-crystal zircon yielded a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 572.6 ± 2.0 Ma (2σ, n = 22, MSWD = 0.90), with moderately high U concentrations (619 ± 21 ppm, 1 SD), restricted Th/U ratios (0.146 ± 0.002, 1 SD), and negligible common Pb content (206Pbc < 0.2%). A comparable 206Pb/238U age (570.0 ± 2.5 Ma, 2σ) was produced by the isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry. The secondary ion mass spectrometric and laser ablation-assisted multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer analyses respectively showed that LKZ-1 had little variation in O (δ18OV-SMOW = 10.65 ± 0.14‰; laser fluorination value = 10.72 ± 0.02‰; 1 SD) and Hf (176Hf/177Hf = 0.281794 ± 0.000016, 1 SD) isotopic compositions. LKZ-1 was also fairly homogeneous in its chemical composition (RSD of laser ablation ICPMS data ≤ 10%), displaying a relatively uniform chondrite-normalized rare earth element pattern ((Lu/Gd)N = 31 ± 3, Eu/Eu* = 0.43 ± 0.17, Ce/Ce* = 44 ± 32; 1 SD). These consistencies suggest that the LKZ-1 zircon is a suitable working standard for geochronological and geochemical analyses.

AbstractWe studied the zircon U–Pb ages, Hf isotopes, and whole-rock and mineral chemistry of metagranitoids from the Subansiri region of the Eastern Himalaya to constrain their emplacement age, origin and geodynamic evolution. The investigated metagranitoids have high SiO2, Na2O + K2O, Rb, Zr and low Fe2O3, Nb, Ga/Al ratios with fractionated rare earth element patterns [(Ce/Yb)N = 6.46–42.15] and strong negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.16–0.44). They are peraluminous (molar A/CNK = 1.04–1.27) and calc-alkaline in nature, with normative corundum (1.04–3.61) and relatively high FeOt/MgO ratios in biotite (c. 3.38), indicating their affinity with S-type granites. The time of emplacement of the Subansiri metagranitoids is constrained by zircon U–Pb ages between 516 and 486 Ma. The zircon grains have negative εHf(t) values ranging from −1.4 to −12.7 and yield crustal Hf model ages from 1.5 to 2.2 Ga, suggesting the occurrence of a major crustal growth event in the Proterozoic and re-melting of the crust during the early Paleozoic. The geochemical data in conjunction with the U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data suggest that the Subansiri metagranitoids were produced by partial melting of older metasedimentary rocks in the Indian passive margin.Supplementary material: Hf isotope results for the Mud Tank zircon standard acquired during the experimental period are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.4299830

The Chiron Basin extends along the southern periphery of the Siberian Craton and the western margin of the Mongol–Okhotsk Belt. Here, we present whole-rock geochemical data (major and trace elements and Sm–Nd isotopes) along with zircon U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotopic data from Paleozoic sedimentary rocks within the Chiron Basin to investigate their provenance and tectonic history. εNd(t) values of the siliciclastics rocks of the Khara–Shibir, Shazagaitui, and Zhipkhoshi formations vary from −17.8 to −6.6, with corresponding two-stage Nd model ages (tNd(C)) ranging from 2.56 to 1.65 Ga. Detrital zircon grains from these rocks are predominantly Archean, Paleoproterozoic, and Carboniferous–Devonian in age. The data suggest that the southern flank of the Siberian Craton is the only viable source area for Archean and Paleoproterozoic zircon grains with Hf model ages (tHf(C)) of >2.20 Ga. The majority of zircon grains from sandstones from the Khara–Shibir, Shazagaitui, and Zhipkhoshi formations are Devonian–Carboniferous in age. With respect to their Hf model ages, the zircon grains can be subdivided into two groups. The first group of Devonian–Carboniferous zircon grains is characterized by relatively old (mainly Paleoproterozoic) tHf(C) model ages of 2.25–1.70 Ga and the source was the southern margin of the Siberian Craton. The second group of Devonian–Carboniferous zircon grains is characterized by significantly younger (mainly Neoproterozoic) tHf(C) model ages of 1.35–0.36 Ga, which are consistent with a juvenile source, most likely eroded island arcs. Our data, show that sedimentary rocks of the Chiron Basin likely formed in a back-arc basin on the southern periphery of the Siberian Craton facing the Paleozoic Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean.

AbstractThe Hudesheng mafic–ultramafic intrusions are located in the Oulongbuluke Block, north of the Qaidam Block in Qinghai Province, NW China. We carried out a detailed study of the intrusions, including field observations, petrology, zircon U–Pb geochronology, Lu–Hf isotopes, bulk-rock major- and trace-element geochemistry, and mineral compositions, to provide a better understanding of their properties and the regional tectonic evolution. Zircon U–Pb dating on gabbro and pyroxenite samples yielded ages of 465 and 455 Ma, respectively. Geochemical data, in conjunction with the field observations and petrological features, suggest that the complex is Alaskan-type and the magma was derived from a depleted mantle source that was hydrous picritic basalt in composition and influenced by crustal contamination and slab-derived fluid metasomatism. Based on all the chronological, petrological, mineralogical and geochemical and regional geological data, we conclude that the palaeo-ocean closed diachronously from west to east between the Qaidam and Oulongbuluke blocks, and that the ocean in the east of the North Qaidam region closed after ∼455 Ma.

AbstractIn this study, the petrology, zircon U–Pb ages, Lu–Hf isotopic compositions, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotopes for newly recognized low-Mg and high-Mg adakitic rocks from the North Altun orogenic belt were determined. The results will provide important insights for understanding the continuities of the North Qilian and North Altun orogenic belts during early Palaeozoic time. The low-Mg adakitic granitoids (445 to 439 Ma) are characterized by high SiO2 (69–70 wt %), low Mg no. (43–48) and low Cr and Ni contents. In contrast, the high-Mg adakitic granitoids (425 to 422 Ma) have relatively lower SiO2 (65–67 wt %), higher Mg no. (60–62) and higher Cr and Ni contents. The low-Mg adakitic rocks have high initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7073–0.7084), negative εNd(t) (−1.9 to −4.0) and εHf(t) values (−6.8 to −2.0), and old zircon Hf model ages (1.4–1.7 Ga). In contrast, the high-Mg adakitic rocks show lower initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7044–0.7057), higher εNd(t) (−0.7 to 3.1) and positive εHf(t) values (2.0 to 6.9), with younger zircon Hf model ages (0.9–1.2 Ga). These results suggest that the low-Mg adakitic rocks were probably generated by the partial melting of thickened crust, whereas the high-Mg adakitic rocks were derived from the anatexis of delaminated lower crust, which subsequently interacted with mantle magma upon ascent. The data obtained in this study provide significant information about the geological and tectonic processes after the closure of the Altun Ocean. The continent–continent collision and thickening probably occurred during 450–440 Ma with the formation of low-Mg adakitic rocks, and the transition of the tectonic regime from compression to extension probably occurred at 425–422 Ma with the formation of high-Mg adakitic rocks. The geochemical, geochronological and petrogenetic similarities between the North Altun and North Qilian adakitic rocks suggest that these two orogenic belts were subjected to similar tectonomagmatic processes during early Palaeozoic times.

Herein, zircon U-Pb geochronology, Lu-Hf isotopes, and whole-rock major and trace element geochemistry are presented for two Palaeoproterozoic granitic rocks in Qingchengzi district, northeastern Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt (JLJB). These new geochronological and geochemical data provide reference clues for exploring the petrogenesis and tectonic setting of Paleoproterozoic magmatic rocks in the Qingchengzi district, which further constrain the tectonic nature of the JLJB. Our zircon U-Pb dating denotes that the Paleoproterozoic magmatic events in the Qingchengzi district were emplaced at ~2163 Ma and ~1854 Ma, represented by granite porphyry and biotite granite, respectively. Geochemically, these Palaeoproterozoic rocks are characterized by high Sr (760–842 ppm), SiO2 (69.72–70.89 wt.%), and Al2O3 (15.53–16.78 wt.%) contents, low Y (2.1–9.0 ppm) and Yb (0.25–0.80 ppm) contents, which indicate an adakite affinity. Combined with Hf isotopic composition (εHf(t) = −1.5~+4.8; TDM2 = 3109~2560 Ma), we believe that the Paleoproterozoic adakitic magma originated from partial melting of the thickened lower crust material in the Meso-Neoarchean. Moreover, these rocks are enriched in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophilic elements (e.g., K, Rb, and Cs), and depleted in heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements (e.g., Nb and Ta). These features are similar to magmatic rocks formed in an arc environment (either island arc or active continental margin) and are not consistent with an intraplate/intracontinental environment. According to this study and previous research results, we conclude that the arc–continent collision model is conducive to the Paleoproterozoic tectonic attribute of the JLJB, and the oceanic crust subduction between the Namgrim and Longgang blocks may have induced the widespread occurrence of magmatic events in the region.

A technique of analyzing the isotopic composition of Lu and Hf and for determining the Lu/Hf and Hf/Hf isotopic ratios in zircons is presented using a Neptune Plus (Thermo Scientific) mass spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma with an NWR 213 (ESI) laser ablation attachment. On the example of Mud Tank, GJ-1, 91500, Plesovice and Temora-2 standard zircon samples, the uncertainty of a single measurement of the 176Hf/177Hf ratio has been obtained in the range of 0.002-0.008% in the form of 2σ (with a crater diameter of 50 μm; when it decreased to 25 μm the measurement uncertainty of the 176Hf/177Hf ratio increased by 1.5-2 times). Under the optimum parameters of the NexION 300S with NWR213 with the aim of increasing the locality of the sequential study of U/Pb and Lu/Hf isotope systems, a comparative characteristic of the application of two approaches has been obtained: in adjacent grain areas (approach 1) and in one crater (approach 2). The metrological characteristics of analyzing the isotopic composition of Lu and Hf and for determining the Lu/Hf and Hf/Hf isotopic ratios in zircons have been determined. To establish the application limits of the developed technique, the factor planning of the experiment has been developed. It was established that with a Lu/Hf ratio of 1/50 or more, the technique is not recommended to be applied due to the incorrect allowance of the isobaric effect. The procedures for measuring and calculating the Lu/Hf isotopic ratios of the isotope system in zircon have been tested on zircon grains (samples NP-46 and NP-47) of the Neplyuevsky pluton (South Urals). The data obtained was in satisfactory agreement with the data of the A. P. Karpinsky Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI).

Abstract Fundamental geodynamic changes from vertical tectonics to lateral subduction occurred during the Neoarchean, yet detailed processes related to this transition and initiation of modern-style subduction remain enigmatic. Successive Neoarchean magmatic rocks including both plume-derived komatiites and subduction-related supracrustal and intrusive rocks appeared and preserved key information on the late Archean geodynamic changes in the Western Shandong Province granite-greenstone belt (WSP), North China Craton. In this study, whole-rock geochemical and Sm-Nd isotopic data and zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes are reported for early Neoarchean supracrustal and intrusive rocks for the WSP. Temporally, the early Neoarchean magmatic movements in the WSP can be subdivided into two stages, including the early stage (2.77–2.69 Ga) and the late stage (2.69–2.60 Ga). Spatially, from southwest to northeast, intrusive rocks with similar ages define three belts (A, B, and C). Early stage tholeiitic and enriched meta-basalts were plume-related, representing oceanic crust opening from a pre-early Neoarchean continent. Slab subduction at least initiated at ca. 2.74 Ga and generated various Neoarchean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorites, quartz diorites, and arc-related volcanic rocks and mafic intrusions. Episodic emergence of meta-basaltic rocks and/or mafic intrusions with depleted εHf(t) values and low (La/Yb)N ratios indicates frequent slab break-offs during ca. 2.70–2.68 Ga, 2.66–2.64 Ga, and 2.62–2.60 Ga due to a relatively hotter mantle and regional heating by mantle plume. Secular geochemical changes of mafic and felsic rocks in this study outline roles of slab subduction in contributions of cooling the mantle, secular mantle refertilization, and crustal growth.

AbstractIn the past ten years, a great deal of geological study has been reported on the magmatic rocks exposed in the central and western region of the Kuluketage Block, while similar research in the eastern region has rarely been reported. In this paper, we report zircon U–Pb geochronological, zircon Lu–Hf isotopic, whole-rock elemental and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data for the Dapingliang intermediate-acid intrusive rocks in the eastern Kuluketage Block, in order to evaluate its petrogenesis and tectonic significance. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U–Pb dating provided a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 735 ± 3 Ma for the albitophyre (D1), 717 ± 2 Ma for the granite porphyry (D2) and 721 ± 1 Ma for the diorite porphyrite (D3). Geochemical analyses reveal that D1 and D2 belong to Na-rich alkaline A-type granites, and D3 shows the features of high-K calc-alkaline I-type granite. D1 and D2 are characterized by light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment and relative depletion of high field strength element (HFSE), with relatively flat heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns and obviously negative Eu anomalies. D3 is characterized by the enrichment of LREE and depletion of HFSE, with negative slope HREE patterns and slightly negative Eu anomalies. In tectonic discrimination diagrams, D1 and D2 fall in the within-plate granite (WPG) field, indicating a rift setting. Although D3 falls within the volcanic arc granite (VAG) field, it most likely formed in a rift setting, as inferred from its petrology, Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes and regional tectonic evolution. Based on pronounced εNd(t), εHf(t), Pb isotopic data, TDM2 and high (87Sr/86Sr)i and elemental compositions, D1 was derived from the partial melting of basement amphibolites of the old lower crust. D2 originated from a mixture of the old lower crust and depleted mantle-derived magmas and was dominated by partial melting of the basement amphibolites of the lower crust. D3 could have been formed by partial melting of K-rich hornblende in the lower crust. Combining previous studies, we think that the c. 745–710 Ma magmatic rocks were formed in a continental rift setting. A partial melting scheme, triggered by underplating of mantle plume-derived magmas, is proposed to interpret the formation of c. 745–710 Ma A-type and I-type granitoids, mantle-derived mafic dykes, bimodal intrusive rocks, adakitic granites and volcanic rocks. These magmatic activities were probably a reflection of the break-up of the Rodinia supercontinent.Highlights(1)Circa 720 Ma magmatism in the eastern Kuluketage Block.(2)Na-rich granite was derived from partial melting of basement amphibolites.(3)The c. 745–710 Ma magmatic rocks were formed in a continental rift setting.(4)The underplating of mantle plume-derived magmas is proposed.

AbstractThe North China Craton (NCC) is one of the classic examples of decratonization through extensive lithospheric destruction during Mesozoic time. Among the various pulses of magmatism associated with cratonic erosion are the rare mafic intrusions in the Yanshan Belt. Here we investigate the Shangzhuang layered intrusion belonging to this suite, which is characterized by compositional layering with troctolite, noritic gabbro and gabbro/gabbroic anorthosite/gabbrodiorite from the bottom to top. The different lithologies of this intrusion exhibit close field relationships, similar chemical patterns and overall identical Lu–Hf isotopes indicating a co-magmatic nature. The fine-grained gabbros occurring near the margin of the intrusion display U–Pb ages similar to those of the other rocks and are considered to represent the composition of the parent magma, characterized by Fe, Mg and Ti enrichment. The magma was sourced from low-degree partial melting of spinel lherzolite sub-continental lithospheric mantle, which had been enriched by crust–mantle interaction and metasomatic fluids derived from the Mongolian oceanic slab subduction beneath the NCC during Late Palaeozoic time. In addition, limited asthenospheric or deeper-mantle materials were also locally mixed with the enriched mantle as the final source component. Our zircon U–Pb data constrain the emplacement age of this intrusion as c. 128–123 Ma in Early Cretaceous time, and correlates with the regional extensional tectonics between c. 135 and 115 Ma in the eastern and central NCC. Mantle upwelling associated with this event resulted in the thermal and chemical erosion of the lithospheric mantle, and emplacement of the parent magma of this layered intrusion.

The subduction processes and geodynamic scenarios of the late-stage southward subduction of the Mongol–Okhotsk oceanic slab since the Early Jurassic are subjects of great debate. This contribution presents new U–Pb zircon dating, trace element geochemistry, Ti-in zircon geothermometry, and Lu–Hf isotopes of zircon, as well as bulk-rock geochemical data for Early–Middle Jurassic intrusive rocks in the Erguna Block, NE China. Approximately 181–198 Ma monzogranites and ca. 162–174 Ma quartz monzonites were identified in the block. The Early Jurassic monzogranites are high-K calc-alkaline I-type granites, which display moderately concave-upward rare earth element (REE) patterns with slightly negative Eu anomalies, and low zircon crystallization temperatures. The Middle Jurassic quartz monzonites have low Yb and Y concentrations, high Sr/Y ratios, and strong high field strength elements (HFSEs) depletions, that are in excellent agreement with adakitic rocks. They exhibit right-sloping REE patterns with negligible Eu anomalies, and a wide range of zircon crystallization temperatures. The intrusions yield εHf(t) values between −4.1 to +4.8 and juvenile two-stage model (TDM2) ages varying from 918–1488 Ma. The geochemical and isotopic signatures suggest that the monzogranites were likely derived by the partial melting of K-rich meta-basalts within the lower part of a juvenile crust that had medium-thickness (≤40 km), with the involvement of minor mantle materials. Whereas, the quartz monzonites were possibly produced by partial melting of a thickened continental lower crust (≥50 km). The Mongol–Okhotsk tectonic regime played a dominant role in accounting for their formation. An Andean-type continental arc setting was developed during the Early–Middle Jurassic, with gradual thickening of the continental crust. The significant crustal thickening may reach its ultimate stage at ca. 162–174 Ma, which marks the tectonic transition from compression to extension. The southward subduction beneath the Erguna Block was continuous and stable during the Early Jurassic. Rollback of the subducted slab occurred at ca. 174–177 Ma, followed by moderate magmatic activities represented by adakitic rocks.

Abstract Abundant Neogene adakitic magmatism occurred in the southern Lhasa subterrane after the onset of the India–Asia collision while convergence continued. However, the tectonic setting and magmatic evolution of the adakitic rocks are still under discussion. This study includes new mineral chemical and whole-rock geochemical data as well as zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes of adakitic intrusive rocks from the Gyaca and Nyemo locations in the southern Lhasa subterrane. Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) zircon U-Pb dating yielded crystallization ages of ca. 30 Ma for the Gyaca and Nyemo monzogranite and ca. 15 Ma for the Nyemo granodiorite. Both have common chemical signatures such as low MgO and heavy rare earth element contents as well as low compatible element abundances, indicating that these rocks result from partial melting of thickened lower crust with residual eclogite and garnet amphibolite. Furthermore, these rocks are characterized by variable positive zircon εHf(t) values, suggesting a juvenile magma source with variable ancient crustal contributions. Taking previous data into account, the adakitic magmatism concurs with an early late Eocene to Oligocene (ca. 38–25 Ma) and a late Miocene (ca. 20–10 Ma) phase. The adakitic rocks of the two phases are characterized by different fractionation evolutions of light and medium rare earth elements. We propose that the early-phase adakitic rocks were generated by the anatexis of Lhasa terrane lower crust owing to crustal shortening and thickening subsequent to the onset of the India–Asia collision and the upwelling of hot asthenosphere beneath the Lhasa terrane caused by the break-off of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab. The latest phase of adakitic rocks, however, relates to upwelling asthenosphere following the delamination and/or break-off of the subducting Indian continental slab.

The Machangqing Cu–Mo (Au) deposit is located in the central part of the Jinshajiang – Red River belt in the Sanjiang orogen, which lies across the Qiangtang terrane and western Yangtze craton, southwestern China. Zircon U–Pb dating constrains that the granite porphyry and porphyritic granite emplacements occurred at 35.92 ± 0.31 Ma and 34.92 ± 0.31 Ma, respectively. The Re–Os model ages of molybdenite are 34.94 ± 0.38 Ma. The new ages presented here, along with previously published data in the region, define a short duration of potassic magmatism and mineralization from 37 Ma to 34 Ma in the Jinshajiang – Red River belt. Zircon Ce4+/Ce3+ values of the porphyritic granite and granite porphyry vary from 50.32 to 1579.20 (averaging 481.01) and 33.18 to 1511.80 (averaging 452.98), respectively, and the log(fo2) values vary from –6.66 to −23.86 and −9.88 to −25.18, respectively, which plot within the range of the fayalite–magnetite–quartz buffer curve to the magnetite–hematite buffer curve, indicating an oxidized magma source, which may have facilitated the Cu–Au enrichment. Zircons from granitoids show εHf(t) values ranging from −0.75 to +2.33 and crustal model ages between 0.9 and 1.1 Ga. The features of Lu–Hf isotopes and wide range of Mg#, Cr, and Ni contents imply that the magmas of the Machangqing granitoids were probably derived from partial melting of juvenile lower crust and mixed with some mantle melts. Combined with the features of the Machangqing granitoids, the following evolution process are concluded. During the Cenozoic, the India–Asia continental collision triggered upwelling of hot asthenosphere and underplating of the thickened juvenile lower crust, which caused the formation of mafic and felsic magmas. Those magmas ascended, mixed, crystallized, and formed Machangqing ore-bearing granitoids in an intracontinental extension setting.

The article is focused on the morphology, trace element composition, U‐Pb and Lu‐Hf systems in zircon in high‐Mg diorite of the Chelyabinsk granitoid massif. Our analytical studies of the U‐Pb and Lu‐Hf isotope systems and the trace element composition were performed using mass spectrometry (MS) with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and laser ablation (LA) of samples. It is established that the zircon formed at the last stages of crystallization of the basic melt under subsolidus conditions at low (600–700 °C) temperatures, which distinguishes it from the zircon of most other high‐Mg rocks of the intermediate composition. The internal structure of the zircon and the concentration of trace elements are locally altered under the influence of a fluid, which led to a partial disruption of the U‐Pb and Lu‐Hf isotopic systems. For the least altered areas in the zircon crystals, the age of crystallization of the parent high‐Mg melt is 362±2 Ma, which coincides with the age estimated from the geological data. Considering the isotope composition of Hf in the zircon and the trace element concentrations, there are grounds to relate the formation of high‐Mg diorite in the Chelyabinsk granitoid massif with a mixed mantle‐crustal source.

Knowledge of planetary differentiation is crucial for understanding the chemical and thermal evolution of terrestrial planets. The 176Lu−176Hf radioactive decay system has been widely used to constrain the timescales and mechanisms of silicate differentiation on Earth, but the data interpretation requires accurate estimation of Hf isotope evolution of the bulk Earth. Because both Lu and Hf are refractory lithophile elements, the isotope evolution can be potentially extrapolated from the present-day 176Hf/177Hf and 176Lu/177Hf in undifferentiated chondrite meteorites. However, these ratios in chondrites are highly variable due to the metamorphic redistribution of Lu and Hf, making it difficult to ascertain the correct reference values for the bulk Earth. In addition, it has been proposed that chondrites contain excess 176Hf due to the accelerated decay of 176Lu resulting from photoexcitation to a short-lived isomer. If so, the paradigm of a chondritic Earth would be invalid for the Lu−Hf system. Herein we report the first, to our knowledge, high-precision Lu−Hf isotope analysis of meteorite crystalline zircon, a mineral that is resistant to metamorphism and has low Lu/Hf. We use the meteorite zircon data to define the Solar System initial 176Hf/177Hf (0.279781 ± 0.000018) and further to identify pristine chondrites that contain no excess 176Hf and accurately represent the Lu−Hf system of the bulk Earth (176Hf/177Hf = 0.282793 ± 0.000011; 176Lu/177Hf = 0.0338 ± 0.0001). Our results provide firm evidence that the most primitive Hf in terrestrial zircon reflects the development of a chemically enriched silicate reservoir on Earth as far back as 4.5 billion years ago.

The Lutetium-Hafnium isotopic system represents one of the most innovative and powerful tools for geochronology and isotopic studies. Combined U-Pb and Lu-Hf in situ analyses on zircon by LA-MC-ICP-MS permit to characterize isotopically the host magma from which it crystallized furnishing significant information for sediment provenance and crustal evolution studies. In this paper e describe the Lu-Hf systematic by LA-MC-ICP-MS developed in the laboratory of Geochronology of the University of Brasilia and report the results obtained by repeated analyses of 176Hf/177Hf isotopic ratio of three zircon standards: GJ-1 = 0.282022 ± 11 (n=56), Temora 2 = 0.282693 ± 14 (n=25) and UQZ = 0.282127 ± 33 (n=11). The 176Hf/177Hf ratio (0.282352 ± 22, n=14) of gem quality zircon used as in-house standard have been also characterized. As a geological application, we analyzed two complex zircons selected from a migmatitic rocks from the Borborema Province, NE Brazil. On the basis of U-Pb and Lu-Hf data, two main crystallization events have been identified in both studied zircons. An older event at ca. 2.05 Ga recognized in the inherited cores represents a well-characterized paleoproterozoic magmatic event that affected the whole Borborema Province. A second crystallization event at ~ 575 Ma, recognized at the rims, represents a Neoproterozoic (Brazilian) high grade metamorphic-magmatic event.

Results of U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic studies on detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks in the eastern part of the Selemdzha and Tokur terranes of the Mongol-Okhotsk belt and Sm-Nd isotopic data for whole-rocks are in complete contradiction with existing ideas about the stratigraphy of the region under consideration and indicate the need to revise the traditional principles of mapping within the belt. Two types of deposits have been established, differing in Sm-Nd isotopic characteristics of whole-rocks and Lu-Hf isotopic composition of detrital zircons. Deposits of different types are involved in the formation of the two opposing accretion systems: in front of the Siberian Craton margin (type I) and the Amur superterrane (type II). Among type I deposits, discrete groups are distinguished that differ in the lower age limit: 553–498 Ma, Late Ediacaran-Cambrian; ~373 Ma, Upper Devonian; 333–327 Ma, Upper Mississippian; ~304 Ma, Pennsylvanian. The deposits of tectonic-stratigraphic units show a general pattern of younging from north to south. Thus, we observe a structure typical of accretionary wedge-shaped terranes with a rear part in the north and a frontal part in the south. Tectonic-stratigraphic units formed by type I deposits and previously considered part of the Selemdzha and Tokur terranes, apparently, are components of the Galam terrane of the accretionary wedge.

AbstractFragmented supracrustal rocks are typical components of Archaean high-grade gneiss terranes, such as those in the North Atlantic Craton. Here we present the first major, trace element and Nd-Hf isotope data for amphibolites collected in the yet poorly studied southern inner Ameralik fjord region of southern West Greenland. In addition, new U-Pb zircon ages were obtained from the surrounding TTG gneisses.Based on their trace-element patterns, two different groups of amphibolites can be distinguished. Following screening for post-magmatic alteration and outlying ε values, a reduced sample set defines a147Sm/143Nd regression age of 3038 Ma ±310 Ma (MSWD = 9.2) and a176Lu/176Hf regression age of 2867 ±160 Ma (MSWD = 5.5). Initial εNd2970Mavalues of the least-altered amphibolites range from 0.0 to +5.7 and initial εHf2970Ma range from +0.7 to +10.4, indicating significant isotopic heterogeneity of their mantle sources with involvement of depleted domains as well as crustal sources.Surprisingly, the amphibolites which are apparently most evolved and incompatible element-rich have the most depleted Hf-isotope compositions. This apparent paradox may be explained by the sampling of a local mantle source region with ancient previous melt depletion, which was re-enriched by a fluid component during subduction zone volcanism or alternatively by preferential melting of an ancient pyroxenite component in the mantle source of the enriched rocks.

The newly discovered Zaorendao gold deposit is in the Tongren-Xiahe-Hezuo polymetallic district in the westernmost West Qinling orogenic belt. The estimated pre-mining resource is approximately 13.6 t of Au at an average grade of 3.02 g/t. Mineralization is predominantly controlled by NW-trending and EW-trending faults within diorite intrusions and surrounding sedimentary rocks. In the present study, in situ zircon U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotopic analyses of the ore-hosting diorite at Zaorendao were measured using LA-ICP-MS. The data suggest that the diorite was emplaced at ca. 246.5 ± 1.9 Ma. The large variation of zircon Hf isotopic composition (ɛHf(t) values ranging from −12.0 to −1.8) indicates a two-stage model age (TDM2) that ranges from 1.4 Ga to 2.0 Ga. Such Lu–Hf isotopic compositions indicate that the diorite was dominantly derived from a Paleo- to Meso-Proterozoic continental crust. The wide range of εHf(t) and the presence of inherited zircon can be interpreted to suggest the mixing of Paleo- to Meso-Proterozoic continental crust with a mantle component. Combining such characteristics with the geochemistry of coeval rocks that are associated with the diorite, we therefore proposed that the gold-hosting Triassic diorite in the Zaorendao gold deposit formed in an active continental margin that was associated with the northward subduction of the paleo-Tethyan ocean.

The Araçuaí and Ribeira orogens have been studied for decades, and recently, these two orogens were described as the Araçuaí–Ribeira Orogen System. Despite much work investigating this orogenic system, some issues, such as the connection between the two orogens, are still not fully understood. This work aimed to present unpublished Lu-Hf data for the Santa Angélica Intrusive Complex (SAIC) and for the host rocks that are part of the Rio Negro magmatic arc, as well as to present U-Pb ages for these rocks, thus contributing to the understanding of the geological processes that acted in the transition zone between the Araçuaí and Ribeira orogens. Two samples were collected corresponding to the magmatic arc and six samples from the Santa Angélica Intrusive Complex. The zircon grains were separated from the samples and subjected to geochronological (U-Pb) and isotopic (Lu-Hf) analysis by laser ablation-induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The geochronological data for the host rocks indicate a crystallization age of ca. 595 Ma. In contrast, the Hf isotopic data point to at least two magmatic sources, one crust, and one mantle. The geochronological data obtained for the SAIC rocks show three age peaks. The first peak (537 ± 5 Ma) coincides with the process of crustal anatexis and possibly marks the beginning of the generation of magmas associated with post-collisional magmatism. The second peak (510 ± 5 Ma) registers the apex of crystallization of the SAIC, and the third peak of ages (488 ± 7 Ma) marks the upper limit of the magmatism in the SAIC. The SAIC isotopic data point to at least two crustal components and a mantle component (juvenile).

New Rb-Sr, 146,147 Sm- 142,143 Nd and Lu-Hf isotopic analyses of Mg-suite lunar crustal rocks 67667, 76335, 77215 and 78238, including an internal isochron for norite 77215, were undertaken to better define the time and duration of lunar crust formation and the history of the source materials of the Mg-suite. Isochron ages determined in this study for 77215 are: Rb-Sr=4450±270 Ma, 147 Sm- 143 Nd=4283±23 Ma and Lu-Hf=4421±68 Ma. The data define an initial 146 Sm/ 144 Sm ratio of 0.00193±0.00092 corresponding to ages between 4348 and 4413 Ma depending on the half-life and initial abundance used for 146 Sm. The initial Nd and Hf isotopic compositions of all samples indicate a source region with slight enrichment in the incompatible elements in accord with previous suggestions that the Mg-suite crustal rocks contain a component of KREEP. The Sm/Nd— 142 Nd/ 144 Nd correlation shown by both ferroan anorthosite and Mg-suite rocks is coincident with the trend defined by mare and KREEP basalts, the slope of which corresponds to ages between 4.35 and 4.45 Ga. These data, along with similar ages for various early Earth differentiation events, are in accord with the model of lunar formation via giant impact into Earth at ca 4.4 Ga.

LA-ICP-MS method was applied to investigate U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope systematics of zircon crystals from charnockitic gneiss and biotite-garnet-hypersthene enderbite that occur in the lower reaches of the Yatran river (Yatran block of the Bouh river area). According to the obtained isotope data, charnockitic gneiss hosts three zircon populations. The oldest one is represented by three crystals that have isotope age between 3125 and 3300 Ma, and εHf values between –2.3 and –7.5. The next population is well-defined, it has an age of 2038±25 Ma and large variations of Hf isotope composition: 176Hf/177Hf — from 0.28122 to 0.28261, εHf — from –9.3 до 4.6. However, the ages of most of the analyzed zircons spread along the concordia between 2300 and 2800 Ma. All zircons in this population have a similar Hf isotope composition 176Hf/177Hf = 0.28072 to 0.28092, which does not depend on the age. It is characteristic that the oldest (with preserved U-Pb isotope systematics) crystals have positive or slightly negative εHf values. Most of the U-Pb isotope analyses of zircons from enderbite fall on the discordia line that has an upper interception age of 2029 ± 18 Ma. A small number of discordant grains have 207Pb/206Pb ages up to 2500 Ma. Hafnium isotope composition in zircons from enderbite varies widely: 176Hf/177Hf = 0.28131 to 0.28151, and εHf from –6.2 to 1.8.

Abstract —The paper presents a synthesis of zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf and whole-rock Sm–Nd isotope data from main early Precambrian (3.40 to 1.85 Ga) metamorphic and magmatic units of the Irkut block (Sharyzhalgai uplift, southwestern Siberian craton). The Archean complexes consist of relict Paleoarchean (3.4 Ga) melanocratic granulites and predominant Neoarchean mafic and felsic granulites (2.70–2.66 Ga), paragneisses (≤2.75 Ga), and gneissic granites (2.54 Ga). The Paleoproterozoic complexes include paragneisses (1.95–1.85 Ga), granitoids and charnockites (1.86–1.84 Ga), as well as mafic intrusions and dikes (1.86 Ga). Few detrital zircons with Hf model ages of ≥3.6 Ga mark the Eoarchean onset of crustal growth in the Irkut block. Isotopic data record two major stages of crustal growth in early Precambrian evolution of the Irkut block: Paleoarchean (3.6–3.4 Ga) and Neoarchean (~2.7–2.66 Ga). The Paleoarchean crustal growth was most likely associated with plume magmatism fed from depleted and primitive mantle sources. The spatial distribution of Paleoarchean crust is traceable in isotopic signatures of magmatic and detrital zircons from most of Mesoarchean to Paleoproterozoic units. The Neoarchean crustal growth from a depleted mantle source was due to subduction magmatism. Moderate crustal growth occurred in the Paleoproterozoic from 2.30 to 1.85 Ga. At the turn of 1.86–1.85 Ga, mafic magmas and products of their fractionation formed from both depleted and enriched sources under postcollisional extension; the latter sources were the subcontinental lithospheric mantle formed during Neoarchean subduction. Three major stages of crustal recycling have been established: Mesoarchean (~3.0 Ga), Neoarchean (~2.55 Ga), and Paleoproterozoic (1.86–1.85 Ga), which are characterized by near-coeval intracrustal melting and metamorphism. The recycling during the ~2.55 Ga and 1.86–1.85 Ga events apparently occurred in a collisional setting. The 2.7 Ga subduction-related felsic magmas also formed through the recycling of the Paleo-Mesoarchean crust. The hypothesized scenario for the geological evolution of the Irkut block is the dominant vertical growth and crustal recycling for about two billion years. Available isotope data record similar major crustal growth in the Paleoarchean and growth combined with recycling during the Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic events in both the southwestern and northern and central parts of the Siberian craton. The Irkut block in the southwest differed in a long and continuous recycling during the Mesoarchean and pronounced Neoarchean crustal growth.

The article presents detrital zircon U-Th-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data for metasedimentary rocks from the eastern Tukuringra Terrane, as well as whole-rock Sm-Nd isotope data. Our analyses show that the zircons in metasedimentary rocks are mostly early Mesozoic in age. Early Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic zircons are also common, whereas early Precambrian zircons are virtually absent. The age of the youngest zircon population places a lower age limit on the age of the Tungalin Formation at 204 Ma (Late Triassic, Rhaetian), the Dugda Formation at 181 Ma (Early Jurassic, Toarcian), and the Tangomen Formation at 189 Ma (Early Jurassic, Pliensbachian). Essentially all Mesozoic, Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic zircons are characterized by Neo- and Mesoproterozoic Hf-model ages (tHf(DM) = 1.41–0.46 Ga, tHf(C) = 1.55–0.49) and Mesoproterozoic Nd-model ages (tNd(DM) = 1.25–1.10 Ga, tNd(С) = 1.31–1.14). Our results suggest that sediments for deposition were sourced mainly from the continental Amuria Superterrane, but not from the southern margin of the North Asian Craton.

Understanding the magmatic evolution of the rocks once comprising the hinterland of the Grenville Orogen through their Mesoproterozoic formation is a key to understanding the Grenvillian Orogeny as a whole. In this contribution, we present high-precision isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID–TIMS) U–Pb and coupled solution multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (S–MC–ICP–MS) Lu–Hf zircon data from magmatic rocks occurring in the allochthonous belt of the Grenville Orogen in the central part of the Grenville Province. We document the presence of a large tract of Pinwarian crust represented by a 1497 ± 5 Ma granitic gneiss, as well as large late Geon 14 to early Geon 13 (1434 +7/−11, 1413 ± 12, 1393 ± 8, 1383 ± 1 Ma) magmatic complexes. One Grenvillian plutonic suite of 1015 ± 2 Ma that cross-cuts the host-rock metamorphic fabric has also been dated. This age provides a minimum age of Ottawan metamorphism in the region. The Hf-isotopic data show that the magmatic rocks of Geons 14 and 13 had mixed mantle and crustal sources compatible with intrusion in a supra-subduction setting as is also supported by the whole-rock geochemical data presented. Emplacement of the magmatic rocks occurred in settings varying from a distal margin arc to a contractional and extensional continental arc. Grenvillian-aged magmatism is more ambiguous, but our data indicate that rocks as young as ca. 1015 Ma may have formed in an ensialic setting.

The paper presents new age and isotope geochemical characteristics for plateau effusive rocks from the Central Kamchatka Depression (CKD) and Nikolka Volcano. We compared these data with the data on rocks from the Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes and also Sheveluch, Kharchinsky, Zarechny, Nachikinsky, Bakening volcanoes and NEB-adakites from Pliocene shield volcano between the Ozernaya Kamchatka and Pravaya Kamchatka rivers. It is shown that the evolutionally advanced (often more alkaline) rock from Nachikinsky, Bakening, Nikolka volcanoes and the Pliocene shield volcanoe significantly differ in isotope-geochemical characteristics from the Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes rocks. Exactly this type of rocks is characteristic for CKD as rift structure. The Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes rock are not typomorphic for this structure and manifest the usual orogenic volcanism stage, typical for much larger area. Miocene plateau effusive rocks differ from rocks of this group only by slightly increased potassium alkalinity. The rift type rocks characteristic feature is not only their increased alkalinity, but also specific microcomponents ratios: Ti/V > 0.004, Nb/Y > 0.28, Dy/Yb > 2.00, La/Yb > 6.5, Sm/Yb > 2.4, Lu/Hf < 0.08. Along with isotopic characteristics, these ratios suggest the existence of the single deep asthenospheric mantle reservoir for initial melts. The Kurile-Kamchatka and Commander-Aleutian island-arc systems’ junction is marked by the increased fluid enrichment (Ce group of REE) of melts for rocks of certain volcanoes: Shiveluch, Kharchinsky, Zarechny.

We utilized the Neoma™, a recently released MC-ICP-MS platform offered by ThermoFisher Scientific, to assess the behavior of the Lu-Yb-Hf system during laser ablation analyses of various zircon standards as well as solution-based analyses of the JMC-475 Hf standard doped with varying quantities of Yb and Lu. The primary goal of this work was to characterize the behavior of the Yb interference correction on the Neoma™ platform since this is one of the biggest issues in the Hf isotope analysis community and because the Neoma™ platform will supplant the Neptune™ series instrument. During laser ablation analysis, we found that the overall data quality scales proportionally with the total Hf signal intensity, with higher signal analyses producing extremely accurate (within 1 εHf unit) and precise (sub εHf unit within-run standard errors) data. At low Yb signals (<0.1 V 173Yb), we were not able to produce an accurate internal Yb mass bias factor. However, utilizing an empirical approach allows for the application of session-specific relationships between the Yb and Hf mass bias factors, determined by analysis of standards of varying Yb content, to produce accurate εHf values from zircons with higher Yb/Hf ratios even where the total Hf signal intensity is relatively low. Similar behavior was observed in the solution analyses. Lastly, while the behavior of the Yb interference correction on the Neoma™ platform appears comparable to the Neptune™ series MC-ICP-MS, further work will help refine the understanding of the controls on mass bias behavior, oxide formation, session-to-session stability, etc.

Abstract The Late Mesozoic was characterized by extensive volcanism, crustal extension, lithospheric thinning, and craton destruction in the North China Craton (NCC). Here we investigate the petrology, whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and Lu-Hf isotope of rhyolitic rocks from the Chicheng region of China along the northern margin of the NCC to constrain their petrogenesis, magma evolution, and associated geodynamic processes. The newly obtained zircon U-Pb age data constrain the eruption age of rhyolitic rocks at ca. 144–114 Ma during the Early Cretaceous with multiple magmatic pulses at ca. 141, ca. 137, and ca. 130 Ma as defined by the age peaks. Zircon Hf isotopic data show markedly negative εHf(t) values of –23.0 to –11.8, and corresponding Hf crustal model ages (TDMC) are in the range of ca. 2650 to 1944 Ma, suggesting magma derivation through melting of Paleoproterozoic crustal materials with minor input of reworked Neoarchean components. Geochemically, the rhyolitic rocks correspond to A-type granites, with a mixed arc- and subduction-related signature, although generated in an extensional intraplate setting through partial melting of the mafic lower crust and upper crustal fractional crystallization. We correlate the late Mesozoic intraplate volcanism to the westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate and its far-field effect. Lithospheric extension and slab rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Plate are considered as the main triggers for the multiple eruptions. The late Mesozoic volcanism in the study area and adjacent regions also broadly coincide with the tectonic transition from the Paleozoic Paleo-Asian to Mesozoic Paleo-Pacific subduction realm with concomitant compressional to extensional tectonic regime.

The LA-ICP-MS method was applied to investigate U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope systematics of zircon crystals from charnockitoids that crop out in the open pits near Chausove village, Pervomaisk district. The association of enderbite gneisses, mafic and ultramafic (pyroxenite) granulites and vein bodies of pink biotite granites occur in the open pits. Enderbites are rather heterogeneous, and their composition varies from leucocratic quartzite-like rocks to enderbite-diorite. The Pervomaisk open pit is located within charnockite massif. Our data indicates that the association of enderbites and charnockites crystallised at 2850-2760 Ma from juvenile material (Hf isotope composition in zircons from enderbite-diorite is 176Hf/177Hf = 0.280915 ± 12, εHf2850 = +2; from leucocratic charnockite 176Hf/177Hf = 0.280875 ± 12, εHf2760 = –1; and from charnockite 176Hf/177Hf = 0.280875 ± 12, εHf2760 = –1). These rocks represented the newly formed Meso-Neoarchean crust, in contrast to the reworked older continental crust. This association has experienced a significant transformation in Paleoproterozoic. The last stage of transformation was accompanied by crystallisation of a new generation of zircon and formation of monazite at 2.04-2.06 Ga.

In their research, the authors of the comments have focused on the Late Paleoproterozoic rims of zircons, but ignored many important details of their own data. Their comments are based on a misconception that eclogite zircons have unique geochemical (REE, Th/U) and isotopic (Lu-Hf, δ18O) characteristics that do not depend on rock types and pressure rates (that were high or ultrahigh) during metamorphism. This idea leads to false unambiguous dating of the eclogite facies metamorphism based on single samples of the rocks.

The determination of trace element composition and Lu-Hf isotope system in zircons was carried out by LA-ICP-MS (the “Geoanalitik” shared research facilities of the IGG UB RAS, Ekaterinburg).Results and conclusions. The images and geochemical features of the main zircon population from granites confirm their magmatic genesis and minimal alteration, which proves previously defined Vendian- Cambrian (520 ± 9 Ma) age for the granites. Younger zircons (401–459 Ma) differing in composition from the older ones, were formed during subsequent tectonic-thermal activity, possibly under the fluid action. The mixed mantle-crustal nature of substrate for the granite melting is indicated by specific isotopic parameters (87Sr/86Sr = 0.703389, εHf(t)aver = +6.3) and a number of characteristic ratios for zircons and granites. The geodynamic concepts of the granite formation settings of the Bitim complex are corrected: in the Vendian–Early Cambrian, a transform-type margin has developed in this sector, the divergent movements on which have been accompanied by a break in the continuity of the crust and the intrusion of a deep mantle diapir; the participation of the slab substance in the magma generation might also be assumed.Conclusions. The results obtained can be used for the geological mapping and correction of a general geodynamic scheme for the junction zone between the Ural Mobile Belt and the East European platform.

The early Paleozoic is a crucial period in the formation and evolution of the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB), and is of great significance for understanding the evolutionary history of the Proto-Tethyan Ocean. This paper presents new petrography, geochemistry, zircon U–Pb dating, and Lu–Hf isotopic research on the Yuejingshan gabbro from the eastern segment of the EKOB. Zircon U–Pb data suggests that the gabbro formed in the Early Silurian (435 ± 2 Ma). All samples have relatively low TiO2 contents (0.45–2.97%), widely varying MgO (6.58–8.41%) and Mg# (58–65) contents, and are rich in large ion lithophile elements (LILE such as Rb, Ba, Th, and U) and light rare earth elements (LREE). This indicates that it has a similar geochemical composition to island arc basalt. The major element features indicate that the formation of this gabbro underwent fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase. The depletion of high field strength elements (HFSE, such as Nb, Ta, and Ti), and a slightly positive Hf isotope (with εHf(t) ranging from 1.13 to 2.45) may be related to the partial melting of spinel-bearing peridotite, led by slab fluid metasomatism. The gabbro likely represents magmatic records of the latest period of the early Paleozoic oceanic crust subduction in the Eastern Kunlun. Therefore, the final closure of the Proto-Tethyan Ocean and the beginning of collisional orogeny occurred before the Early Silurian.

Abstract Hafnium (Hf) isotope composition of zircon has been integrated with U-Pb age to form a long-term (>4 b.y.) record of the evolution of the crust. In contrast, trace element compositions of zircon are most commonly utilized in local- or regional-scale petrological studies, and the most noteworthy applications of trace element studies of detrital zircon have been in “fingerprinting” potential source lithologies. The extent to which zircon trace element compositions varied globally over geological time scales (as, for example, zircon U-Pb age abundance, O isotope composition, and Hf isotope composition seem to have varied) has been little explored, and it is a topic that is well suited to the large data sets produced by detrital zircon studies. In this study we present new detrital zircon U-Pb ages and trace element compositions from a continent-scale basin system in Australia (the Centralian Superbasin) that bear directly on the Proterozoic history of Australia and which may be applicable to broader interpretations of plate-tectonic processes in other regions. U-Pb ages of detrital zircon in the Centralian Superbasin are dominated by populations of ca. 1800, 1600, 1200, and 600 Ma, and secular variations of zircon Hf isotope ratios are correlated with some trace element parameters between these major age populations. In particular, elevated εHf(i) (i.e., radiogenic “juvenile” Hf isotope composition) of detrital zircon in the Centralian Superbasin tends to correspond with relatively high values of Yb/U, Ce anomaly, and Lu/Nd (i.e., depletion of light rare earth elements). These correlations seem to be fundamentally governed by three related factors: elemental compatibility in the continental crust versus mantle, the thickness of continental crust, and the contributions of sediment to magmas. Similar trace element versus εHf(i) patterns among a global zircon data set suggest broad applicability. One particularly intriguing aspect of the global zircon data set is a late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian period during which both zircon εHf(i) and Yb/U reached minima, marking an era of anomalous zircon geochemistry that was related to significant contributions from old continental crust.

The use of radioactive decay of 176Lu to 176Hf to study the evolution of the Earth requires a precise and accurate value for the 176Lu decay constant. Recent determinations of this decay constant by age comparison to the more precisely calibrated U-Pb isotopic system produced internally consistent but discrepant values between terrestrial minerals and meteorites. New highly radiogenic Lu-Hf data for phosphate minerals from Richardton (ordinary chondrite) and Acapulco (primitive achondrite) yield decay constant values of 1.864 × 10–11 ± 0.016 × 10–11 and 1.832 × 10–11 ± 0.029 × 10–11 year–1, respectively, identical to the value determined from terrestrial minerals.

Zircon grains in rocks collected from the Itsaq Gneiss Complex, southwest Greenland, were analyzed for U–Pb and Lu–Hf in the same grain using isotope dilution – thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and multicollector – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (MC–ICP–MS). Grains were pretreated using chemical abrasion or air abrasion to assure that only zircon material unaffected by the migration of parent and daughter elements was analyzed. The data are consistent with derivation of all studied rocks from a single enriched mantle source or mafic crustal protolith with 176Lu/177Hf of 0.022 ± 0.003 that was repeatedly melted and produced tonalitic magmas. The assessment of the primary mantle source from which this mafic protolith was derived, at or before 3.85 Ga, greatly depends on the assumed composition of the bulk silicate Earth. Using the currently accepted Lu–Hf bulk Earth parameters based on the analysis of chondrites yields εHf(T) of 0 to +1 for the 3.80–3.86 Ga rocks, suggesting that the protolith was derived from mantle that underwent moderate depletion shortly before 3.9 Ga. However, using alternative models of the bulk silicate Earth composition, i.e., that account for the possible irradiation-induced accelerated decay of 176Lu in the early Solar System, and (or) loss of the products of early planetesimal or planetary differentiation, can lead to widely variable interpretations of the enrichment or depletion history of the mantle source of the Itsaq protolith.

We report zircon U–Pb ages and Lu-Hf isotopic data from two sample of the retrograded eclogite in the Chicheng area. Two groups of the metamorphic zircons from the Chicheng retrograded eclogite were identified: group one shows characteristics of depletion in LREE and flat in HREE curves and exhibit no significant Eu anomaly, and this may imply that they may form under eclogite facies metamorphic condition; group two is rich in HREE and shows slight negative Eu anomaly indicated that they may form under amphibolite facies metamorphic condition. Zircon Lu-Hf isotopic of εHf from the Chicheng eclogite has larger span range from 6.0 to 18.0, which suggests that the magma of the eclogite protolith may be mixed with partial crustal components. The peak eclogite facies metamorphism of Chicheng eclogite may occur at 348.5–344.2 Ma and its retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite fancies may occur at ca. 325.0 Ma. The Hongqiyingzi Complex may experience multistage metamorphic events mainly including Late Archean (2494–2448 Ma), Late Paleoproterozoic (1900–1734 Ma, peak age = 1824.6 Ma), and Phanerozoic (495–234 Ma, peak age = 323.7 Ma). Thus, the metamorphic event (348.5–325 Ma) of the Chicheng eclogite is in accordance with the Phanerozoic metamorphic event of the Hongqiyingzi Complex. The eclogite facies metamorphic age of the eclogite is in accordance with the metamorphism (granulite facies or amphibolite facies) of its surrounding rocks, which implied that the tectonic subduction and exhumation of the retrograded eclogite may cause the regional metamorphism of garnet biotite plagioclase gneiss.

Abstract –We present data on the geochemical and Sr–Nd isotope compositions of rocks and on the Lu–Hf isotope composition of magmatic and xenogenic zircons from granitoids and gabbroids of the late Neoproterozoic island arc structure of the Lake Zone. Plagiogranitoids, gabbroids, and quartz diorites (559–542 Ma) formed at the late Neoproterozoic subduction stage of magmatism, and two-feldspathic granites (~483 Ma) mark Cambrian–Ordovician accretion–collision processes. We have established that the volcanic rocks of the late Neoproterozoic island arc and/or its oceanic base, which formed from the depleted mantle, were the mafic source of plagiogranitoids. This is proved by the overlapping positive εNd values of plagiogranitoids and the host volcanic rocks and by the commensurate εHf values of magmatic zircons from the plagiogranitoids and depleted mantle. The lower εNd values of gabbro and quartz diorites from the Tavan Hayrhan and Shuthuyn plutons, the lower εHf values of zircons from these rocks, and the high (87Sr/86Sr)0 ratios and K2O, Rb, and Th contents point to the generation of these rocks from a less depleted mantle source, namely, mantle wedge peridotites. The isotope composition of the latter changed at the previous subduction stage under the impact of fluids and with the contribution of subducted sediments. The least radiogenic Hf isotope composition of magmatic and xenogenic zircons from Ordovician accretion–collisional two-feldspathic granites of the Ih Zamiin pluton suggests their formation through the melting of the late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian island arc crust with the contribution of more differentiated crustal sources enriched in Th, Nb, and LREE and characterized by low εNd values. The age of xenogenic zircons (≤716 Ma) in the studied granitoids and gabbroids and their similarity in Hf isotope composition to magmatic zircons from the same rocks confirm the formation of the late Neoproterozoic island arc of the Lake Zone in an intraoceanic setting far from ancient continental sources similar to the Dzavhan microcontinent.

Combining U–Pb ages with Lu–Hf data in zircon provides insights into the magmatic history of rocky planets. The Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034/7533 meteorites are samples of the southern highlands of Mars containing zircon with ages as old as 4476.3 ± 0.9 Ma, interpreted to reflect reworking of the primordial Martian crust by impacts. We extracted a statistically significant zircon population (n= 57) from NWA 7533 that defines a temporal record spanning 4.2 Gyr. Ancient zircons record ages from 4485.5 ± 2.2 Ma to 4331.0 ± 1.4 Ma, defining a bimodal distribution with groupings at 4474 ± 10 Ma and 4442 ± 17 Ma. We interpret these to represent intense bombardment episodes at the planet’s surface, possibly triggered by the early migration of gas giant planets. The unradiogenic initial Hf-isotope composition of these zircons establishes that Mars’s igneous activity prior to ∼4.3 Ga was limited to impact-related reworking of a chemically enriched, primordial crust. A group of younger detrital zircons record ages from 1548.0 ± 8.8 Ma to 299.5 ± 0.6 Ma. The only plausible sources for these grains are the temporally associated Elysium and Tharsis volcanic provinces that are the expressions of deep-seated mantle plumes. The chondritic-like Hf-isotope compositions of these zircons require the existence of a primitive and convecting mantle reservoir, indicating that Mars has been in a stagnant-lid tectonic regime for most of its history. Our results imply that zircon is ubiquitous on the Martian surface, providing a faithful record of the planet’s magmatic history.
