Late Precambrian Rhyolite–Granite Volcanic–Plutonic Associations of the Southern Ulutau (Central Kazakhstan)

  • Published:
Geotectonics Aims and scope

Abstract

The results of a study of Late Precambrian effusive and plutonic rocks of the Dyusembai and Aktass volcanic–plutonic associations of the western part of the Southern Ulutau are reported. A U‒Th‒Pb isotope–geochronological study of accessory zircons (SHRIMP II) showed that the formation of rhyolite–granite associations occurred in the second half of the Tonian in the Neoproterozoic (~830 Ma, Dyusembai association, and ~800–790 Ma, Aktass association). The formation of parental melts for effusive and plutonic rocks of both associations occurred via dehydration melting of metatonalite (metagreywacke) formations of the Early Precambrian continental crust in an intraplate environment. The Neoproterozoic evolution of the Southern Ulutau took place in an environment of an active continental margin. The formations of the eastern part of the Southern Ulutau were formed within the ensialic island arc, while the western part, in the area of riftogenic magmatism, upon extension in the rear area. The Tonian magmatism in the Southern Ulutau, as well as in the other terranes of the Ulutau‒Moyunkum Group, indicates their incorporation into the basement of a large volcanic–plutonic belt marking subduction of the oceanic lithosphere beneath the northwestern margin of the Rodinia supercontinent.
