- Abstract:
- The Susong metamorphic zone is a relatively lowgrade metamorphic unit, located in the southern part of the Dabie collisional orogen, China. This zone is mainly composed of mica-quartz schist, granitic gneiss, meta-basalt/amphibolite, meta-gabbro, rodingite, marble, graphite schist and phosphate rock series, etc. However, the forming ages and petrogenesis of these rocks are still largely controversial. For this reason, the zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating and Hf isotope analysis on granitic gneisses from the Susong metamorphic zone in the Dabie orogen were performed. The zircon dating results reveal that the precursor ages of these granitic gneisses can be divided into two types, i.e. Late Archean (2.5-2.7 Ga) and Neoproterozoic (770-830 Ma), and that they experience epidote amphibolitefacies metamorphism in Late Triassic. The protoliths of Neoproterozoic granitic gneisses are derived from remelting of the Late Archean rocks with ~2.0 Ga metamorphic overprinting during Neoproterozoic continental breakup. In view of the agreement of Neoproterozoic igneous zircon age records of granitic gneisses with the protolith ages of Dabie ultrahighpressure metaigneous rocks, combined with their metamorphic characteristics, published data and regional geological setting, the granitic gneisses from the Susong metamorphic zone are further documented to be involved in Triassic subduction of the Yangtze Block and underwent epidote amphibolite-facies with possibly local highpressure eclogite-facies metamorphism, and then detached and offscraped from the subducting crust of the Yangtgze Block at shallow depths. Because of thrusting up, nappe, tectonic stack and erosion after continental collision and orogenesis, the relatively deeply subducted rocks may have been mixed into the Susong metamorphic zone.
