Ag. Vladimirov et al., Synkinematic granites and collision-sheer deformations in Western Sangilen(Southeastern Tuva), GEOL GEOFIZ, 41(3), 2000, pp. 398-413
By the example of the Naryn-Marat area (left bank of the Naryn River, Sangi
len highland) it is shown that metamorphic rocks of the Teskhem-Mugur compl
ex and overlapping Upper Riphean terrigenous-carbonate series exhibit shear
-extensional deformations that occurred under ductile and beihle-ductile no
w conditions. These deformations, caused by an oblique collisional compress
ion of the crust in the Early Caledonian, resulted in a system of weakened
zones (marble melange in the terrigenous-carbonate cover, subhorizontal sur
faces of stripping (decollement), and subvertical zones (Ridel's)). Shear-e
xtensional dislocations and related decollements were magma-controlling str
uctures for sills of the Tannuol' diorite-quartz-diorite-granodiorite compl
ex (451+/-15 Ma) and younger dike belts and vein series of the Chzhargalant
granite-leucogranite-pegmatite complex (442+/-21 Ma). The composition of g
ranite-leucogranites of this complex indicates their dual geochemical natur
e. On the one hand, they have a plumasite composition with a predominance o
f potassium, which makes them similar to S-type granites forming from a met
apelite source, and, on the other, they inherit some geochemical features o
f the Tannuol' dioritoids (deficit of Ta and Nb and enrichment in Sr and Ba
). A model is proposed according to which the formation of the Chzhargalant
granite-leucogranites was caused by two independent factors: existence of
a deep-seared chamber of andesitic magmas - a source of heat and fluids, an
d shear-extensional deformations, leading to formation of local decompressi
on areas in the roof, where fluids concentrated and nonequilibrium melting
of metapelites occurred.
