Texturally Controlled U-Th-Pb Monazite Geochronology Reveals Paleoproterozoic UHT Metamorphic Evolution in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton

Abstract: Sapphirine-bearing UHT granulites from the Dongpo locality in the Khondalite Belt of the North China Craton have been comprehensively characterized in terms of petrology, mineral chemistry, metamorphic evolution and zircon geochronology. However, the precise timing of the peak-UHT metamorphism and other key stages in the P–T–t evolution remain controversial due to the complexity of multiple metamorphic overprints and the lack of petrographic context for zircon age data. In this study, monazite from four s les of the Dongpo granulite are ided into six groups based on chemical composition and textural context, and dated (in-situ SHRIMP and LA–ICP–MS U–Pb). An age population of 1·91–1·88 Ga was obtained from high-Y cores of monazite inclusions in garnet (Group 1) and on grains in the rock matrix (Group 2). The maximum age of c.1·91 Ga is interpreted as the minimum timing for prograde metamorphism before UHT metamorphism (M1). An age population of 1·90–1·85 Ga was obtained from low-Y domains of monazite inclusions (Group 3) and of matrix grains (Group 4). Combined with previous zircon dating results, the age population from low-Y Mnz constrains the timing and duration of the UHT metamorphism to 1·90–1·85 Ga and 50 (±15) million years, respectively. The large (50 m.y.) age spread is interpreted to reflect continuous monazite formation, and it is consistent with the slow post-peak near-isobaric cooling stage (M2). An age of c.1·86 Ga was obtained from monazite in textural contact with sapphirine/spinel + plagioclase intergrowths (Group 5), which is interpreted as the timing of the subsequent decompression–heating stage (M3). The younger age clusters at c.1·80 and 1·77 Ga, obtained from Th-rich monazite rims (Group 6) and one single Th-depleted monazite in textural contact with matrix biotite, respectively, indicate dissolution–reprecipitation and new monazite growth from fluid released by crystallizing anatectic melt during retrogression. These results, along with the previous 1·93–1·91 Ga data for UHT metamorphism, suggest that there was a very long-lived Paleoproterozoic UHT metamorphism (1·93–1·85 Ga) in the Khondalite Belt of the North China Craton. This supports the large hot orogeny model for the generation of Paleoproterozoic UHT metamorphism in the Khondalite Belt during the amalgamation of the Nuna supercontinent.

Abstract: A highly residual granulite facies rock (s le RG07‐21) from Lunnyj Island in the Rauer Group, East Antarctica, presents an opportunity to compare different approaches to constraining peak temperature in high‐grade metamorphic rocks. S le RG07‐21 is a coarse‐grained pelitic migmatite composed of abundant garnet and orthopyroxene along with quartz, biotite, cordierite, and plagioclase with accessory rutile, ilmenite, zircon, and monazite. The inferred sequence of mineral growth is consistent with a clockwise pressure–temperature ( P – T ) evolution when compared with a forward model ( P – T pseudosection) for the whole‐rock chemical composition. Peak metamorphic conditions are estimated at 9 ± 0.5 kbar and 910 ± 50°C based on conventional Al‐in‐orthopyroxene thermobarometry, Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry, and calculated compositional isopleths. U–Pb ages from zircon rims and neocrystallized monazite grains yield ages of c. 514 Ma, suggesting that crystallization of both minerals occurred towards the end of the youngest pervasive metamorphic episode in the region known as the Prydz Tectonic Event. The rare earth element compositions of zircon and garnet are consistent with equilibrium growth of these minerals in the presence of melt. When comparing the thermometry methods used in this study, it is apparent that the Al‐in‐orthopyroxene thermobarometer provides the most reliable estimate of peak conditions. There is a strong textural correlation between the temperatures obtained using the Zr‐in‐rutile thermometer––maximum temperatures are recorded by a single rutile grain included within orthopyroxene, whereas other grains included in garnet, orthopyroxene, quartz, and biotite yield a range of temperatures down to 820°C. Ti‐in‐zircon thermometry returns significantly lower temperature estimates of 678–841°C. Estimates at the upper end of this range are consistent with growth of zircon from crystallizing melt at temperatures close to the elevated (H 2 O undersaturated) solidus. Those estimates, significantly lower than the calculated temperature of this residual solidus, may reflect isolation of rutile from the effective equilibration volume leading to an activity of TiO 2 that is lower than the assumed value of unity.

Abstract: The most poorly exposed and least understood Gondwana-forming orogen lies largely hidden beneath ice in East Antarctica. Called the Kuunga orogen, its interpolation between scattered outcrops is speculative with differing and often contradictory trends proposed, and no consensus on the location of any sutures. While some discount a suture altogether, paleomagnetic data from Indo-Antarctica and Australo-Antarctica do require 3000–5000 km relative displacement during Ediacaran-Cambrian Gondwana amalgamation, suggesting that the Kuunga orogen sutured provinces of broadly Indian versus Australian affinity. Here we use compiled data from detrital zircons offshore of East Antarctica that fingerprint two coastal subglacial basement provinces between 60 and 130°E, one of Indian affinity with dominant ca. 980–900 Ma ages (Indo-Antarctica) and one of Australian affinity with dominant ca. 1190–1140 and ca. 1560 Ma ages (Australo-Antarctica). We combine this offshore compilation with existing and new onshore U-Pb geochronology and previous geophysical interpretations to delimit the Indo-Australo-Antarctic boundary at a prominent geophysical lineament which intersects the coast east of Mirny at ~94°E.
