Late Neoarchean slab rollback in the Jiaoliao microblock, North China Craton: Constraints from zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of the Yishui Complex, Western Shandong Province

摘要

Earth's plate tectonic system was initiated between 3.0 and 2.5 Ga and became the dominant regime for crustal growth and differentiation. However, it is unclear whether subduction-accretion processes, including slab roll-back, occurred regionally in the area of the western Shandong Province Granite-Greenstone Terrane of the North China Craton (NCC) during the early development of plate tectonics. We quantified petrology, whole rock geochemistry, and zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes for felsic, mafic, and ultramafic rocks from the Yishui Complex (YC) in the NCC to constrain the origin of these rocks and the associated tectonic setting(s). The granites yield Pb-207/Pb-206 ages of 2509 +/- 20 to 2484 +/- 26 Ma, and magmatic zircon grains from these rocks have epsilon Hf(t) values of 0.6-6.4. The coeval mafic-dioritic rocks represent the fractional crystallization products of a primary magma that was derived from low-degree (<7%) partial melting of a metasomatized mantle source. The granodiorites were derived from the partial melting of oceanic slab material, with slab melts being contaminated by mantle wedge material during their ascent. The high-M granites represent the crustal reworking products of regional tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite and sedimentary rocks. Late Neoarchean magmatism in the YC was related to slab subduction, and slab rollback at similar to 2.50 Ga led to the generation of potassic rocks, coeval mafic-ultramafic xenoliths, and granulite metamorphism with a counterclockwise P-T-t path in the Yishui area.
