AbstractVoluminous granitic intrusions are distributed in the West Junggar, NW China, and they can be classified as the dioritic rocks, charnockite and alkali-feldspar granite groups. The dioritic rocks (SiO 2 = 50.4-63.8 wt.%) are calc-alkaline and Mg enriched (average MgO = 4.54 wt.%, Mg # = 0.39-0.64), with high Sr/Y ratios (average = 21.2), weak negative Eu (average Eu*/Eu = 0.80) and pronounced negative Nb-Ta anomalies. Their Sr-Nd and zircon Hf isotopic compositions (( 87Sr/ 86Sr) i = 0.7035-0.7042, ε Nd(t) = 4.5-7.9, ε Hf(t) = 14.1-14.5) show a depleted mantle-like signature. These features are compatible with adakites derived from partial melting of subducted oceanic crust that interacted with mantle materials. The charnockites (SiO 2 = 60.0-65.3 wt.%) show transitional geochemical characteristics from calc-alkaline to alkaline, with weak negative Eu (average Eu*/Eu = 0.75) but pronounced negative Nb-Ta anomalies. Sr-Nd and zircon Hf isotopic compositions (( 87Sr/ 86Sr) i = 0.7037-0.7039, ε Nd(t) = 5.2-8.0, ε Hf(t) = 13.9-14.7) also indicate a depleted source, suggesting melts from a hot, juvenile lower crust. Alkali-feldspar granites (SiO 2 = 70.0-78.4 wt.%) are alkali and Fe-enriched, and have distinct negative Eu and Nb-Ta anomalies (average Eu*/Eu = 0.26), low Sr/Y ratios (average = 2.11), and depleted Sr-Nd and zircon Hf isotopic compositions (( 87Sr/ 86Sr) i = 0.7024-0.7045, ε Nd(t) = 5.1-8.9, ε Hf(t) = 13.7-14.2). These characteristics are also comparable with those of rocks derived from juvenile lower crust. Despite of the differences in petrology, geochemistry and possibly different origins, zircon ages indicate that these three groups of rocks were coevally emplaced at ~ 305 Ma. A ridge subduction model can account for the geochemical characteristics of these granitoids and coeval mafic rocks. As the "slab window" opened, upwelling asthenosphere provided enhanced heat flux and triggered voluminous magmatisms: partial melting of the subducting slab formed the dioritic rocks; partial melting of the hot juvenile lower crust produced charnockite and alkali-feldspar granite, and partial melting in the mantle wedge generated mafic rocks in the region. These results suggest that subduction was ongoing in the Late Carboniferous and, thus support that the accretion and collision in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt took place in North Xinjiang after 305 Ma, and possibly in the Permian. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
