Abstract
The Lengjimanda plate is situated in the middle section of the Da Hinggan mountains, in the eastern section of the Tianshan Xingmeng orogenic belt. To determine the formation age of the volcanic rocks in the Longjiang formation in this area, to explore their origin and tectonic background, and to reconstruct the geodynamic evolution of the region, this study conducted petrological, zircon U–Pb geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic analyses of the volcanic rocks in the Longjiang formation. The Longjiang formation’s volcanic rocks are primarily composed of trachyandesite, trachyte trachydacite, and andesite, which are intermediate basic volcanic rocks. They are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements, are depleted in high-field-strength elements, are significantly fractionated between light and heavy rare earth elements, and exhibit a moderate negative Eu anomaly in most samples. The results of the LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb dating indicate that the volcanic rocks in this group were formed in the Early Cretaceous period at 129.1 ± 0.82 Ma. The zircon εHf(t) ranges from +1.13 to +43.77, the tDM2 ranges from +655 to +1427 Ma, the initial Sr ratio (87Sr/86Sr)i ranges from 0.7030 to 0.7036, and the εNd(t) ranges from +2.1 to +6.6. Based on the geochemical compositions and isotopic characteristics of the rocks, the initial magma of the volcanic rocks in the Longjiang formation originated from the partial melting of basaltic crustal materials, with a source material inferred to be depleted mantle-derived young crustal. These rocks were formed in a superimposed post-collisional and continental arc environment, possibly associated with the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean closure and the oblique subduction of the Pacific plate. This study addresses a research gap regarding the volcanic rocks of the Longjiang formation in this area. Its findings can be applied to exploration and prospecting in the region.
