Early Paleozoic tectonic transition from ocean subduction to collisional orogeny in the Eastern Kunlun region: Evidence from Huxiaoqin mafic rocks

Published: Jan 1, 2013
Abstract
The Huxiaoqin mafic rocks which distribute in the Central Kunlun Suture Zone,are mainly composed of hornblen dediabases. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb analyses gave 438 ±2Ma ( MSWD = 1. 06,n = 15) of the crystallization age,suggesting Huxiaoqin mafic rocks are the products of the Early Silurian magmatism. All the rock samples are characterized by relatively low TiO2 ( 0.43%~1. 58% ) ,variable MgO (2. 83%~8.22% ) and Mg # (45 ~74) ,slight enriched Hf...
