Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of the Indosinian Dashenshan Granite, Western Hunan Province, South China
摘要
The Darongxi tungsten deposit in western Hunan Province is spatially and genetically related to the Dashenshan granite, which consists mainly of biotite monzonitic granite. The geochemical data reveal that the Dashenshan granite emplaced during the late stage of post-collision between the Yangtze and the Cathysia blocks, and belongs to I-type granite. The collision between Yangtze and Cathysia blocks and subsequently intra-continental subduction resulted in the over thickened lithosphere, and thus caused the lithospheric delamination and upper mantle upwelling in the Xuefengshan region, western Hunan Province. The underplating mantle magma led to the melt of the lower crust in the studied area, and produced a mantle-crust mixing magma which seems to be mainly derived from the partial melting of lower crustal materials rather than upper mantle. Thus, the mantle-crust mixing magma gradually evolved and finally formed Dashenshan granite.
