英文摘要 | The present study deals with geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of three younger granite varieties (coarse-grained biotite-muscovite granites (CBG), garnetiferous muscovite granites (GMG) and Abu Aggag biotite granites (AAG)) in El-Hudi area, east of Aswan, southeastern desert of Egypt. Mineral chemistry and whole rock chemistry data revealed that all granites have high SiO2 (70.8-74.7 wt.%), Al2O3 (12.8-14.3 wt.%), Na2O and K2O (> 3.2 wt.%) contents with high Na2O/K2O ratios (> 1). Plagioclase feldspars range in composition from albite to oligoclase (An(9-27)) in CBG, oligoclase (An(13-18)) in GMG and albite (An(2-6)) in AAG. Potash feldspars are mainly perthitic microcline and exhibit chemical formulae as (Or(93-96) Ab(7-4) An(0)) in CBG, (Or(95-98) Ab(5-2) An(0)) in GMG and (Or(82-98) Ab(18-2) An(0)) in AAG. Biotites from CBG and GMG are enriched in (Mg and Ti) and depleted in (Al, Fe, Mn and K) compared with those of AAG. Biotites from CBG and GMG had been derived from calc-alkaline magma, whereas those from AAG had been derived from peraluminous magma. Chlorites from CBG and GMG are Mg-Fe bearing, while that from AAG is Fe-rich chlorite (chamosite). The CBG and GMG are Mg-rich monzogranites originated from high-K calc-alkaline magma with metaluminous to mildly peraluminous nature. The AAG are Fe-rich monzogranites to syenogranites generated from high-K calc-alkaline peraluminous magma. Both CBG and GMG are late- to post-orogenic granites, while the AAG are post-orogenic granites. All three granite varieties are considered as evolved I-type granites, formed under low to moderate water pressures (similar to 0.5-7 kbars) and relatively high ranges of crystallization temperatures (similar to 700-890A degrees C). They were generated from partial melting of crustal materials at lower (CBG > 30 km depth) and intermediate (GMG & AAG similar to 20-30 km depth) levels. The crystal fractionation was the predominant process during differentiation of parent magmas of these granites. Geochemical characteristics manifest that AAG represent the highly fractionated member of magma cycle differs from that produced CBG and GMG. The CBG are relatively enriched in both U and Th existing only within the accessory minerals such as zircon, sphene, and allanite. |
