Abstract

The Early Yanshanian Yaogangxian granite pluton in southern Hunan province is composing dominantly of biotite monzogranites.Their mean content of SiO2 is 75.83 wt%,K2O 4.78 wt%,Na2O+K2O 8.02 wt% with mean K2O/Na2O ratio 1.53 and Al2O3 12.98 wt%.Thus,the rocks belong to weakly perluminous granite of calc-alkaline series.eNd(t) value of-11.13~-9.13,t2DM of 1.70~1.86 Ga,coinciding with the ages for the granites from Hunan and Guangxi interior continental belt(1.8~2.4 Ga) and the basement formation ages of the study area(1.7~2.7 Ga).The magmas of the Yaogangxian granites are derived from the middle crustal crystalline basement,typical origin of the S-type granites.Multiple oxide-diagrams for discrimination of tectonic setting and regional tectonic evolution analysis indicate that the rocks are formed in the post-orogenic extension environment.
