Abstract

The authors studied geochronology and geochemical data of the Songjianghe biotite monzogranite in the southern Zhangguangcai Range in order to determine its formation age, magma source,and tectonic environ- ment. The results indicate that the Songjianghe biotite monzogranite was formed in the Middle Jurassic with an age of 168. 2 ±2. 0 Ma (MSWD =0. 93). The monzogranite was characterized by high alkali and low CaO and MgO,belonging to high- potassium calc- alkaline,metaluminous I- type granite. The rock is enriched in large ion lithophile elements such as Rb,Ba,and K and strongly depleted high field strength elements such as P,Ti, Nb,and Ta. It is concluded that the Songjianghe biotite monzogranite was derived from partial melting of am- phibolite facies metamorphism mafic lower- crust and its formation was controlled by the Pacific Plate subduc- tion.
