Abstract

Frequent magmatic intrusion and eruption during the early Yanshanian in South China formed a unique and diverse igneous rock assemblage, mainly comprising granite, rhyolite, and some basic rocks. Nevertheless, the tectonic regime responsible for the formation of these granitic rocks remains controversial. The comprehensive available data suggest that the Jurassic granitic rocks formed during the period from 180 to 145 Ma, with an age peak at ca. 160 Ma. Jurassic rocks are predominantly concentrated in Wuyi, southern Hunan, northeast Guangdong, and southern Jiangxi, followed by the eastern Guangxi-western Guangdong areas, mainly including I-, S-, and A-type granites, and a few I–S transformation-type granites. These granitic rocks invariably exhibit enrichment in Rb, Th, U, and Pb, while Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti are depleted, and variable Eu/Eu* ratios. The whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopic and zircon Hf isotopic compositions show that the Jurassic granitic rocks are mainly recirculation products of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic rocks, as well as the mantle-derived magma, which played a major role in the formation process. Among them, the granites in eastern Guangxi-western Guangdong and Northeast Guangdong areas display higher ε Nd(t) and ε Hf(t) values, suggesting a relatively larger contribution from mantle-derived materials. Based on the comprehensive regional geological data, we interpret that these Jurassic granitic rocks as a product of lithosphere extensional-thinning, tectonic-magmatic interaction formed during the process of flat-slab subduction.

1 Introduction

The South China Block (SCB) is a special area where the Tethys and Pacific tectonic domains intersect, and its tectonic framework and magmatic evolution are very complex [1–5]. During the Mesozoic period, large-scale magmatism and regional metamorphism occurred in the SCB, resulting in granitic intrusion with an exposed area of over 200,000 km2 and volcanic basins [6–10]. These granites provide favorable geologic setting for mineralization, thus making South China a world-renowned polymetallic mineralized area for Cu–Mo–Pb–Zn–Au–Ag, etc. [11–15].

The tectonic settings for the Jurassic granitic rocks in South China have been studied for decades. However, controversy continues regarding the following issues related to the geodynamic background [1,12,16–22]. Some scholars believe that the tectonic background of the early Yanshanian in South China is related to intracontinental extension-rifting events [6,22–26]. Differently, others believe that it was influenced by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate [10,20,27–29]. Recent studies have demonstrated that the Yanshanian magmatism was mainly controlled by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the SCB. Subsequently, scholars have proposed several different models, including a normal subduction model [20,21,30], a flat-slab subduction model [1,29,31], a multi-angle subduction model [22,32,33], and “ridge subduction and slab window” model [17,34].

For the purpose of validating various models, this article presents a combined study of zircon geochronology, petrogeochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data of early Yanshanian granitic rocks, which we use to discuss the petrogenetic and geotectonic contexts. Our comprehensive analysis suggests that the proposed flat-slab subduction tectonic-magmatic model in this article will be able to explain the Jurassic magmatic activity in SCB.

2 Geological background

The SCB, composed of the Yangtze Craton and Cathaysia Block at approximately 0.9 Ga, is the major tectonic unit in East Asia (Figure 1) [28,36]. With the formation of the SCB, continental rifts developed in the Neoproterozoic of the SCB and gave rise to the production of a large number of mafic rocks [37,38]. From the Late Paleozoic to Mesozoic, the disappearance of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean and the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate had a major impact on the SCB [7,39–42]. During the Indosinian, the SCB and the Indochina block amalgamated along the Jinshajiang-Ailaoshan-Song Ma suture zone and was accompanied by extensive magmatic intrusion [32,39]. The SCB collided with the North China block to form the metamorphic Qinling-Dabie orogeny [43,44]. As a result, the SCB has promoted strong fold belts, nappe structures, and thrust faults [45,46]. The Mesozoic geology of South China is characterized by widespread tectonothermal events [47–52]. These events led to widespread strong extrusive uplift in South China, producing generalized stratigraphic unconformity, metamorphic deformation, and thrust tectonics [53,54]. Many rift basins and extensional dome structures formed in the Late Cretaceous ([53] and references therein), which induced strong intrusion and volcanism [55–57]. The tectono-magmatic events of the Cretaceous may be related to the roll-back of the subducted Paleo-Pacific plate [13,31].

In the Jurassic, magmatic intrusion and eruption led to the formation of diverse types of intermediate-acidic igneous rocks, together with subordinate mafic rocks in South China [18,21,22,34,35,40,45]. At present, more than 150 Jurassic granite bodies have been found, mainly in Wuyi (WY), southern Hunan (SH), northeastern Guangdong (NEG), and southern Jiangxi (SJ), followed by the eastern Guangxi-western Guangdong (EGWG), with sporadic distribution in other areas (Figure 1). The rocks are mainly composed of I-, S-, and A-type granites, and a few I–S transformation-type granites (Tables S1 and S2). They consist of biotite monzogranite, biotite granite, biotite syenogranite, etc. ([58,59] and references therein). The research shows that continuous Jurassic magmatism in South China occurred between 180 and 145 Ma, with a peak age at ca. 160 Ma (Table S1 and Figure 2). The peak magmatism mainly occurred in the Nanling area [6,60–72], and the Huanshan, Guposhan, Gudoushan, Wuguishan, Huashan, and Baer plutons in the EGWG area [28,73–76]. In addition, the early Yanshanian volcanic rocks are mainly distributed in the WY and Zhuguangshan areas, mainly including basalt, andesite, dacite, and rhyolite [54,57,76,77].

3 Petrogeochemical characteristics

The petrogeochemical characteristics of Jurassic granitic rocks from these five areas (WY, SH, NEG, SJ, and EGWG), including whole-rock major-trace elements, zircon Hf isotopes, and Sr–Nd isotopes, will be shown in detail below. Brief information of these granites is listed in Tables S2–S4. Since ferrous iron and ferric have not always been given together, the major oxides of the rocks were recalculated to 100%.

3.1 Whole-rock geochemistry

All the Jurassic granitic rocks show SiO2 = 58.90–80.78%, Al2O3 = 11.06–17.28%, MgO = 0.02–3.22%, CaO = 0.05–4.98%, and K2O = 0.93–8.29% (Table S2). The granite is comparatively high in total alkalis (3.34–10.24%), showing a range from subalkaline granite and granodiorite (Figure 3a; [78]). All granitic rocks exhibit a shoshonite series to high-K calc-alkaline affinity (Figure 3b; [79]), and aluminum saturation index (molar A/CNK) values mainly focused between 0.86 and 3.18 (Figure 3c; [80]). In Harker diagrams, all the rocks display intensively negative correlations in the plots of TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, P2O5, MgO, CaO, Sr, and Ba vs SiO2 contents (Figure 4; [80–82]). It is to be noted that there is a trend of gradual decrease between SiO2 and Na2O in EGWG and SH areas. On the contrary, SiO2 vs Na2O showed a positive correlation tendency in WY, SJ, and NEG areas (Figure 4g).

In the primitive mantle-normalized trace element diagrams (Figure 5a–e; [83]), these granitic rocks from EGWG, WY, SH, SJ, and NEG invariably exhibit enrichment in Rb, Th, U, and Pb, while Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti are depleted. All these rocks show total rare-earth elements (REE) contents ranging from 38.99 to 489.73 ppm (Table S2), with variable LREE/HREE ratios (0.43 and 24.69; LREE: light rare earth elements [from La to Eu]; HREE: heavy rare earth elements[from Gd to Lu]). The chondrite-normalized REE diagrams (Figure 5f–j) show REE fractionation patterns ([La/Yb]N = 0.15–66.31; [La/Sm]N = 0.33–11.23; [Gd/Yb]N = 0.41–5.88) and variable Eu/Eu* ratios (0.003–1.423; Figure 5f–j). Therein, the REE distribution in SH, SJ, and NEG shows stronger negative Eu anomalies and higher HREE (HREE: from Gd to Lu) contents (Figure 5h–j). In contrast, the REE distribution in EGWG and WY shows medium-weak negative Eu anomalies and lower HREE (HREE: from Gd to Lu) contents (Figure 5f and g). In Figure 4J, Eu/Eu* values usually vary within a higher constant range (Eu/Eu* > 0.3) when the SiO2 contents are below ca. 72% but appear in a rapid decrease when the SiO2 exceeds ca. 72% (Eu/Eu* ≤ 0.3). In addition, almost all samples in the SH, SJ, and NEG show intensely negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* ≤ 0.3) fall in the fractionated felsic granite zone (Figure 4k and l, FG), while the granitic rocks from the EGWG and WY are mainly plotted in the unfractionated granite zone (Figure 4k and l, OGT).

3.2 Sr–Nd isotopes

The granite samples from EGWG, WY, and NEG display a wide range of (87Sr/86Sr)i values (Figure 6a), and ε Nd(t) values ranging from −12.2 to +0.9 (Figure 6b and Table S3). However, the granitic rocks in NEG have the most variable ε Nd(t) and (87Sr/86Sr)i values, from −12.2 to +0.3 and 0.7044 to 0.7136, respectively. The two-stage model ages (T DM2) of the rocks in these three areas are 2.26–0.76 Ga (Figure 7a, b, and e and Table S3). The rocks from the SJ and SH areas show similar Sr–Nd isotopic features. They have been widely varying (87Sr/86Sr)i values of 0.7024–0.7246, ε Nd(t) values from −13.0 to −5.1, and T DM2 from 2.00 to 1.33 Ga (Figure 7c and d and Table S3). In particular, the granites of the SJ probably all originated from partial melting of Proterozoic crustal materials in South China (Figure 6b; [13,35,71]).

3.3 Zircon Hf isotopes

In the SH, NEG, and EGWG areas, the zircon Hf isotopes of the Jurassic plutons are largely variable, with zircon ε Hf(t) values from −23.6 to +7.9, −19.4 to +8.3, and −11.4 to +7.4, respectively (Figure 6c and Table S4), indicating addition of juvenile mantle-derived materials. Zircon Hf isotope two-stage model ages (T DM2) value for granitic rocks from these three areas ranges from 2.68 to 0.61 Ga (Figure 7f, h, and j). Among them, the T DM2 peaks of rocks in the EGWG are ca. 1.6–1.2 Ga (Figure 7f). For rocks in the SH and NEG areas, the major T DM2 peaks of rocks are all at ca. 1.6–1.4 Ga, with a minor peak at ca. 1.8–1.6 Ga (Figure 7h and j), indicating a partial melting of magmatic material mainly from the Mesoproterozoic crust. Jurassic granitic rocks from the WY and SJ areas share similar zircon Hf isotopic characteristics, with ε Hf(t) values from −16.1 to −2.9 and −20.3 to −4.8. The T DM2 of the rock ranges from 2.63 to 1.24 Ga, with a peak of about 1.8 Ga (Figure 7g and i), indicating that the partial melting of magmatic material is sourced from the Meso-Proterozoic crust.

4 Discussion

4.1 Petrogenesis of the Jurassic granitic rocks

4.1.1 Magma sources

The trace elements of the Jurassic granitic rocks show enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and depletion of high field strength elements (HFSEs), Ba, and Sr, suggesting that the magmatic materials may mainly originate from the crust [24,28,84–86]. REE distribution diagrams show relatively steeper curves for LREE and gentle curves for some HREE, with variable Eu/Eu* ratios, showing the characteristics of crust–mantle mixing [87–89].

The comprehensive Sr–Nd–Hf isotope analysis indicates that the Jurassic granitic rocks are mainly recirculation products of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic rocks (Figure 6; [42,55,60]). Whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopes indicate that during the formation of Jurassic Granites, they might have been affected by the mantle-derived components or juvenile crustal materials (Figure 6a and b). In Figure 6a, these granites are also mainly distributed on the crust-mantle mixing evolutionary line. The common feature of zircon Hf isotopic compositions is that they generally have negative ε Hf(t) values, but they have positive ε Hf(t) values in EGWG, NEG, and SH, showing a larger range of variability. In the major elements illustration, the Jurassic granitic rocks show a clear trend of magma mixing (Figure 8a; [90]), and the magma source may be mixed with a definite proportion of basaltic magma (Figure 8b; [91]). It is noteworthy that many mafic microgranular enclaves occur in the Jurassic granitic rocks, such as the western Guangdong Baer [76], northeast Guangxi Huashan-Guposhan [73,74,93], northeast Guangdong Qinghu [47], southern Hunan Xitian [94], Xintianling [95], and Koushuishan granitic pluton [2]. These evidences indicate that these granitic rocks may have originated from different magmatic sources (Figure 4; [16,76,94]). There are many Jurassic basic rocks occurring in the studied area, i.e., Chenglong gabbro in southern Jiangxi (ca. 178 Ma; [96]); Wushijiao gabbro in northeast Guangdong (162 Ma; [13]), Guluo-Wangjiangchong gabbro in southeast Guangxi (158–163 Ma; [52]), Mashan peridotite-gabbro in eastern Guangxi (153 Ma; [25]), Daoxian high-Mg basaltic rocks in southern Hunan (ca. 150 Ma; [97]), and Xiangjia basalt in southern Jiangxi (162 Ma; [98]). They originated from partial melting of the asthenospheric or the lithospheric mantle, which may provide heat or material to the magma source of the granitic rocks (e.g., [13,25,96,99]).

Experimental studies have shown that magma temperature is one of the important parameters affecting the petrogenesis and it can serve as an effective tracer for detecting heat, melting, and emplacement condition [100]. Built on the zircon saturation temperature, we roughly estimate the melt temperature of the Jurassic granitic rocks [101]. In Figure 8c, the analyses from the EGWG and NEG are more variable in the ca. 700–850°C, and the analyses in the WY, SH, and SJ areas center at 750–800°C [92]. In the case of the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, the presence of amounts of basalts indicates a hot, and the larger temperature variations in the formation of these granites may be the result of different degrees of magma underplating.

In summary, we believe that mantle-derived magma played an important role in the formation of granitic rocks. The mantle-derived magma not only provides the heat needed for partial melting of basement rocks but also may supply the mantle-derived material.

4.1.2 Crystal differentiation processes

In Harker diagrams, the negative correlation between TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, and SiO2 demonstrates that the granitic rocks may be the product of fractional crystallization during magmatic evolution (Figure 4). During crystallization, the reduction of Fe2O3 and MgO during magmatic evolution suggests the separation of mafic minerals, i.e., hornblende, biotite, and minor Ti–Fe minerals (Figure 4c and e; [16,93,102]). The decrease in P2O5 and TiO2 with increasing SiO2 indicates the crystallization of apatite and sphene (Figure 4a and d; [13,16,35]). The process of crystal fractionation is confirmed by the variations of La vs La/Sm, Yb vs Th/Yb, Rb vs Ba, Sr vs Rb/Sr, Sr vs Ba, La vs (La/ Yb)N, and SiO2 vs ε Nd(t) and the negative correlations among Eu/Eu* vs Ba and Sr (Figure 9; [22,31,35]).

The pronounced depletion of Sr, Nb, Ti, and P (Figure 5a–e) further demonstrates that fractional crystallization occurred during the formation of granitic rocks [13,67]. Eu/Eu* vs Ba and Sr are positively correlated, but Ba vs Rb is negatively correlated (Figure 9d), showing that these elements are largely influenced by the separation of K-feldspar and plagioclase from the fractionating melt [22,93]. In the Sr vs Ba and Sr vs Rb/Sr diagrams (Figure 9e and h), the separation of K-feldspar is clearly present [16,31]. The separation of Ti-rich minerals (e.g., ilmenite, sphene, and rutile) and apatite leads to the depletion of Ta, Nb, Ti, and P [13,16,22]. Crystal fractionation of monazite and/or allanite controls the variation from La and Yb contents (Figure 9i). Also, the SiO2 vs ε Nd(t) diagram shows that the FC or AFC process is clear during the magmatic crystallization process (Figure 9a–c; [35,103]).

Usually, the LILEs or HFSEs trace element ratios (e.g., Sm/Nd, Rb/Sr, Ba/Rb, and Th/U) are used to represent the strength of magma fractionation [13,88,104]. With magmatic evolution Sm/Nd and Rb/Sr values will increase, while Ba/Rb and Th/U values decrease [35,47]. Sm/Nd values of EGWG, WY, SH, SJ, and NEG areas are 0.15–0.33, 0.15–0.41, 0.14–0.49, 0.08–0.69, and 0.08–0.49; Rb/Sr values are 0.29–14.75, 0.17–52.84, 0.21–229.26, 0.21–123.69, and 0.25–100.00; Ba/Rb values are 0.14–7.72, 0.06–23.86, 0.01–6.03, 0.01–4.94, and 0.01–7.65; and Th/U values are 0.84–6.84, 0.99–13.64, 0.31–7.60, 0.55–8.29, and 0.42–11.81, respectively. In conclusion, Jurassic granitic rocks underwent fractional crystallization, and the magma evolution and differentiation in SH, SJ, and NEG were relatively stronger than those in WY and EGWG (Figure 9j–l; [13,35,93]).

4.2 Tectonic setting

The composition and spatial-temporal distribution of the Yanshanian igneous rocks provide important constraints on the geodynamic evolutionary processes [105–108]. The Yanshanian granitic intrusive rocks are clearly controlled spatially by regional fault zones and can be divided into three main intrusive phases according to time (170–150, 140–125, 110–80 Ma; [21,26,34,109]). The age of magmatic activity has a certain regularity, i.e., there is a tendency for the age to become progressively younger from inland to coastal areas of South China [54,67,104]. This trend is shown by subduction [31,32,34]. A large number of zircon U–Pb ages show that the Jurassic granitic rocks formed mainly between 180 and 145 Ma, with the strongest magmatic intrusion taking place at ca. 160 Ma (Figure 2; Table S1). These rocks show clear similarities in trace elements (Figure 5) and display arc-related affinities [110–112]. In geochemical tectonic discrimination diagrams of this study, the formation environment of these granites indicates extension-tensioning associated with orogeny (Figure 10; [113–115]). In recent years, with the in-depth study of the early Yanshanian igneous rocks in South China, more and more scholars believe that the tectonic background may be mainly related to lithosphere extensional thinning [16,52,75,86,116–118], such as southern Jiangxi Quannan syenite (161 Ma; [119]), Hunan Qitianling granite (161 Ma; [6]), southern Guangdong Changsheshan granite (163 Ma; [120]), northern Guangdong Nankunshan granite (158 Ma; [31]), Guangxi Hengxian monzodiorite (154 Ma; [25]), and Hainan Limao gabbro (167 Ma; [121]). To sum up, the extensional thinning of the lithosphere may be the major tectonic dynamics mechanism in South China (170–150 Ma).

Data sources are listed in Table S2.

Regional geological data indicate that the gradual transition of the SCB from the Paleo-Tethys tectonic domain to the Paleo-Pacific tectonic domain probably occurred at ca. 180 Ma [75,122,123]. Therefore, the Yanshanian magmatism is related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate and its effects (back-arc extension, slab break-off, subsidence, etc.) [28,67,123–125]. During the Early-Middle Jurassic (190–170 Ma), the discovery of A-type granites and gabbro- and OIB-type basalts in the Nanling area and southwest Fujian marked the beginning of subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath the SCB [19,31,126,127]. In the Middle-Late Jurassic (170–150 Ma), the lithosphere of the SCB was in a comprehensive “extension-thinning” context due to the influence of the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate [35,57,128]. Research suggests that the most distant subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate may have arrived at the famous Qin-Hang belt [14,27,126,129–131]. Interestingly, the Paleo-Pacific plate did not successively subduct to the northwest but rolled back in the Late Jurassic plate [21,126,132,133]. It has been shown that the early Yanshanian basalts in South China are interpreted as a result of delamination of a flat-subducted Paleo-Pacific plate [1,7], as well as post-orogenic extension of the collision [134–136]. The latest numerical modelings show that the Yanshanian (Mesozoic) was subjected to the dynamical evolution of flat-slab subduction/slab-foundering of the Paleo-Pacific Plate [29]. Based on the comprehensive consideration of previous research data and geotectonic factors, we suggest that the flat-slab subduction tectonic-magmatic model can more reasonably explain the early Yanshanian magmatic activity, in which the foundering and delamination of the flat-slab resulted in a large number of high-K granites and basaltic underplating in an extensional environment.

Taken together, ca. 190 Ma, the Paleo-Pacific plate enters beneath the SCB by flat-slab subduction [31,98]. During ca. 170 Ma, the subduction plate may have begun to break up, resulting in the production of small amounts of bimodal igneous rocks and basaltic in South China [1,35,137]. The subsidence and foundering of the plate may have occurred ca. 160 Ma, which induced the upwelling of asthenosphere mantle and the underplating of mantle-derived magma, resulting in the occurrence of tectonothermal events in South China and the formation of different types of granites ([28,31]; Figure 11).

5 Conclusion

From the comprehensive study and analysis of Jurassic granitic rocks, we came to the following conclusions:

  1. The granitic rocks are formed during the period from 180 to 145 Ma, with an age peak at ca. 160 Ma.

  2. These rocks invariably exhibit enrichment in Rb, Th, U, and Pb, while Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti are depleted, and variable Eu/Eu* ratios. Whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopic and zircon Hf isotopic compositions show that the Jurassic granitic rocks are mainly recirculation products of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic rocks, as well as the mantle-derived magma, which played a major role in the formation process.

  3. Based on the comprehensive regional geological data, we interpret these Jurassic granitic rocks as the product of lithosphere extensional-thinning, tectonic-magmatic interaction formed during the process of flat-slab subduction.
