The genesis and tectonic controls on the emplacement of post-collisional granites in the Karakoram Block (KB) in northern Pakistan are unclear due to lack of detailed studies. Zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the Sumayar pluton was emplaced at ∼ 9.6 Ma and represented one post-collisional magmatism. The Sumayar granite samples belong to strong peraluminum granites with aluminum saturation indexes of 1.1–1.2. Zircons from the granite exhibit strong negative εHf(t) values mostly of between −30 and −25, indicating a supracrustal source. Whole-rock geochemical data display enrichment in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements, depletion in high field strength elements, and strong negative Eu anomalies. The low CaO/Na2O ratios and high Rb/Sr ratios together with the presence of tourmaline, suggest that the primary magma was formed from dehydrating melting of B-rich metapelites at moderate temperature conditions. In comparison with other post-collisional S-type granites in the KB, two groups were recognized. The first group represented by the Baltoro granite and other granites of ca. 36–15 Ma, is volatile-depleted and B-deficient, and formed from partial melting of greywacke source. The second group represented by the Sumayar granite and other small plutons of 9.6–3.0 Ma, formed from dehydration melting of B-rich metapelitic source. The emplacements of these S-type granitoids are attributed to the episodic partial melting of accretionary wedge rocks and associated crustal anatexes, due to the heat generation during the post-collisional stage at the hanging wall along the collisional boundary between the Kohistan Island Arc and the Asian Plate.

Granitoids at subduction zones play a significant role in the generation and evolution of continental crust. The Kohistan Batholith in the Kohistan Island Arc is, in large part, comprised of granitoids with various sizes, amongst which the Matum-Das tonalitic pluton stands out as the most enigmatic due to its emplacement age and unique geochemical signatures. The genesis and formation mechanism of the Matum-Das tonalite is still unclear. In addition, the Matum-Das tonalite hosts abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), which have rarely been mentioned in previous studies. Here, a combined investigation of the petrological characteristics, mineral chemistry, zircon U[sbnd]Pb geochronology and Hf isotope, whole-rock major, trace element and Sr[sbnd]Nd isotope geochemistry has been conducted on the Matum-Das tonalite and the MMEs. Zircon U[sbnd]Pb dating indicates that the Matum-Das tonalite was emplaced at ∼150 ± 2 Ma, comparable with the age of the MMEs (∼149 ± 1 Ma). The consistent isotopic signatures of the host tonalite (ISr = 0.7046∼–0.7053; εNd(t) = +6.0 ∼ +7.8; εHf(t) = +13.9 ∼ +18.0) with the MMEs (ISr = 0.7034∼–0.7048; εNd(t) = +6.6 ∼ +9.4; εHf(t) = +11.2 ∼ +20.4) indicate the same parental magma source, which was mainly derived from the depleted mantle. The tonalite displays highly acidic signatures with SiO2 contents ranging from 73.72 to 76.06 wt% and low alkali (Na2O + K2O) contents of from 3.62 to 5.04 wt%. It has low Sr and high Y contents with low Sr/Y ratios. Compared to the host tonalite, the MMEs are dioritic in composition and have metaluminous affinity. Combined with the non-adakitic traits and high-water contents (9.07–11.68 wt%) inferred from the amphibole chemistry, we propose that the Matum-Das tonalite was most likely formed by fractional crystallization of hydrous magma derived from the metasomatized asthenosphere mantle. The associated MMEs were formed in the earlier stage of magma evolution from the same parental magma. The onset of intra-oceanic subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean in the late Jurassic is responsible for the island arc volcanism. The studied tonalitic rocks yielded the oldest ages within the KIA, and they represented the magmatic products in the initial stage of the Neo-Tethys intra-oceanic subduction.

The Jijal Complex is considered one of the largest Neo-Tethyan remnants in the intra-oceanic Cretaceous–Palaeogene Kohistan Arc of Pakistan. This complex largely consists of gabbros, peridotites, and chromitites. Previous studies documented the genesis of gabbros and chromitites in detail; however, detailed geochemistry and magma genesis were lacking. In this investigation, we present whole-rock geochemical and platinum group elements (PGEs) data of Jijal peridotites (dunites and harzburgites). The objectives of this study are to elucidate magmatic processes and tectonic regimes involved in the formation of peridotites, factors influencing the concentration and dispersion of PGEs in them, and their tectonic evolution. The investigated peridotite samples are depleted in magmaphile major elements (Al2O3: 0.23–0.57, TiO2: 0.01–0.04, and CaO: 0.08–0.69 wt%), relative to the primitive mantle values, reflecting melt-rock interaction during their magmatic evolution. In addition, rare-earth element (REE) contents in harzburgites are relatively higher compared to the dunites; however, both rock types exhibit depletion with respect to the chondrite-normalized values. The obvious negative anomalies of Nb, Zr, and enriched LREE and large ion lithophiles collectively substantiate their association with depleted arc-type mantle components, metasomatism, and melt/fluid-rock reactions after partial melting episodes. Bulk-rock and geochemical modelling of PGEs data of the peridotites suggest their shallow depth spinel-bearing depleted heterogeneous mantle source and generation from refractory mantle residuum along with boninitic signatures in a supra-subduction zone (SSZ). The PGE’s geochemistry additionally reveals that partial melting, fractionation, metasomatism, and sulphur under-saturation were the key factors that controlled the concentration and distribution of PGEs in the studied rocks. The boninitic features of the Jijal peridotites are equated with intraoceanic fore-arc followed by subduction initiation, and melt-rock reactions in a hydrated forearc mantle, indicating robust evidence of mantle depletion and pervasive refertilisation in an embryonic Neo-Tethyan arc system. Tectonically, the investigated rocks encapsulate vestiges of the Cretaceous Tethyan Ocean and record multifaceted history from boninitic to slab-proximal island arc affinity in compliance with an intraoceanic SSZ fore-arc regime coherent with the subduction inception.

Enhanced weathering (EW) of ultramafic rocks from the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite, Pakistan, has been studied in laboratory experiments to explore carbon sequestration as a climate change mitigation strategy for coastal and open sea environments. The research focused on a cost-effective ex situ experiment to examine the effects of EW reaction pathways arising from the interactions among rock powder, seawater and CO2. The experimental filtrates from different milled peridotite samples exhibit a decrease in the Mg/Ca ratio as the specific surface area increases, which accelerates reaction rates. This suggests that the leached Mg from the original rock may have been consumed in the formation of brucite, serpentine and carbonates during EW. Similar reaction pathways are also responsible for the chemical alterations observed in amphibolite, albeit to varying degrees. On the other hand, the experimental residues showed an increase in loss on ignition compared to the original rock, indicating that EW has facilitated the incorporation of H2O and CO2 into secondary mineral structures through various reaction pathways, leading to the formation of brucite, serpentine and carbonates. Thermal gravimetric analysis of the experimental residues confirms the presence of these minerals based on their decomposition temperatures. Additionally, XRD analysis identified a range of carbonates in the residues of both peridotite and amphibolite samples, validating the occurrence of carbonation reactions. SEM images reveal textural changes in both samples, supporting the formation of secondary minerals through EW, consistent with observations from the petrographic study of untreated samples. Control experiments on CO2 absorption in seawater showed a decrease in pH, highlighting ocean acidification from increased CO2 emissions. However, when rock powder was added to the seawater-CO2 mixture, the pH increased. This suggests that the EW of ultramafic rock powders can sequester CO2 while raising seawater pH through the formation of secondary minerals. This research could serve as an analog for EW applications, considering the worldwide abundance of ultramafic rocks and the availability of coastal and open ocean environments. However, further research is required to understand the behavior of other elements and their impacts on ocean chemistry in EW processes before applying CO2 sequestration strategies.

Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous materials (RSCM) was applied to 10 carbonaceous material (CM) -rich low- to medium-grade metasedimentary rock samples of Western Himalaya, Pakistan to assess their optimum thermal evolution. The RSCM thermometry is based on the degree of graphitisation of CM as a function of peak metamorphic temperature. Petrographic observations of the studied samples revealed two dominant CM morphologies. Type-I CM, represented by fine-grained discontinuous dust-like and scattered to thin sporadic layers, was more prevalent in low-grade metamorphic samples. Type-II CM, corresponding to continuous and extended thick fibres and elongated grain constellations, was dominant in medium- to high-grade metamorphic samples. The degree of crystallinity of CM and subsequent metamorphic temperatures were quantified by considering the intensity-based R1 and the area-based R2 ratio parameters. Low-grade samples from the Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS), having Type-I CM, resulted in RSCM peak temperatures between 306°C and 403°C. Medium- to high-grade samples from Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC), containing Type-II CM, yielded peak temperatures in the 482°C–560°C range. The extremely deformed sample from a fault zone in the LHS produced relatively higher temperature of 403°C, thereby suggesting heat associated with shearing due to fault activities resulting in CM recrystallisation and elevated temperature values. The study revealed that the peak metamorphic temperatures increase from south towards north following a progressive path of metamorphism in the region.

Zircon grains preserve records of crystallization, growth, and/or deformation that can be envisaged from their internal structures and through the U–Pb isotope analysis. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a non-destructive method for visualizing undeformed domains to differentiate them from those that are plastically deformed. In this study, we report EBSD analyses conducted on zircon grains, in thin sections with available textural information, from Himalayan eclogites. The studied eclogite samples show no petrographic evidence of shearing or mylonitization. However, several zircon grains preserve plastically deformed domains. These deformed domains display several degrees of misorientation relative to the undeformed domain and yielded geologically reset ages when analysed for U–Pb isotope ratios using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), in contrast to most undeformed domains which retained the protolith age. The degree of resetting is positively correlated with the extent of misorientation. These pieces of evidence indicate that plastic deformation in zircon grains, equilibrated at higher pressure–temperature conditions, affected the primary geochemical and geochronological records. Based on these observations, we assume that not only regional shearing/mylonitization in metamorphic rocks affects the geochemical records, but also that zircon grains in apparently unsheared high-grade metamorphic rocks behave plastically. The micro-scale intra-grain plastically deformed domains can easily be identified through EBSD analysis in the form of crystallographic misorientations. To extract meaningful geochronological results, it is necessary to identify undisturbed domains in zircon grains before applying any destructive analytical method.

Arsenic (As) in natural hydrological systems is known as a worldwide major environmental concern. A geochemical and sedimentological study was done to ascertain the origin and geographical distribution of As in surface water and fluvial sediment collected from the floodplains/basins of the River Indus and its four major tributaries that drain through the northern Pakistan. The hydrogeochemical compositions of all five rivers were similar with calcium (Ca2+) and bicarbonate (HCO3−) being the dominating ions. The concentration of As ranged from 0.62–24.05 μg/L (average 3.7 ± 3.5 μg/L, n = 61) in river water, 2.3–23.4 mg/kg (average 5.7 ± 3.9 mg/kg) in suspended sediment, and 2.0–13 mg/kg (average 4.13 ± 2.3 mg/kg) in fluvial sediment. Various approaches were used, including mineralogical, sequential extraction, geochemical, and statistical analyses to investigate the distribution, behavior, and potential sources of As in the sediment. The effect of geological factors on the distribution of As was also studied. No noticeable changes in the relative abundance of minerals were observed in the sediment at different locations along the river. Both mineralogical and statistical analyses showed that silicate minerals like muscovite, biotite, and chloride are the main As reservoir while oxides minerals like hematite and magnetite, which are minor components in the sediment are second largest As carrier. A geochemical baseline, using the normalization and cumulative frequency distribution curves was constructed for As. The estimated mean human contribution of As was 3.4% in the Indus River, 1.9% in the Jhelum River, 13.7% in the Chenab River, 17.5% in the Ravi River and 5.4% in the Sutlej River, indicating relatively higher effects of anthropogenic activity along the Chenab River and Ravi River. The almost negligible effects of anthropogenic activities were additionally confirmed through the pollution assessment parameters estimated from the geo-enrichment, contamination factors, and accumulation index analyses. The current data suggest that As transported by the Indus River and its major tributaries is accumulated in the sediment and is potentially incorporated in the sedimentary aquifers situated along the Indus Basin and surrounding areas. Based on the current study, it is concluded that the source of As is dominantly geogenic whereas the role of anthropogenic activities is considered negligible except along the Ravi River which showed relatively a higher percentage (17.5%) of human or industrial contribution.

Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) studies on Himalayan high- and ultrahigh-pressure eclogites are reported. Subduction-related peak eclogite facies (omphacite, garnet, quartz, rutile) and exhumation-related post-eclogite facies (hornblende, epidote, titanite) minerals were investigated to understand subduction and exhumation-related deformation regimes. Petrographic features from the studied eclogite samples show preferably shape-oriented omphacites coexisting with random to weakly shape-oriented garnets, and overgrown by hornblende and symplectites. Quartz grains are also randomly shape-oriented in the eclogite matrix whereas epidote grains display shape-preferred orientations. Based on EBSD data, an L-type CPO was dominant in omphacites in the studied eclogites, exhibited by the maximum density of [001] axes parallel to the lineation and the high density of poles to the (010) and (110) planes forming girdles perpendicular to the foliation. This CPO likely developed in a constrictional strain regime during the peak eclogite-facies conditions due to dislocation creep and is associated with an intra-crystalline (110) [001] and (110) <110> slip systems. EBSD data of garnets exhibit complex fabric, suggesting they most likely behaved like rigid objects in the presence of omphacite, indicating insignificant plastic deformation. EBSD data of quartz in high-pressure eclogites show irregular CPO but in ultrahigh-pressure eclogites the fabric is relatively strong. EBSD data of rutile show CPO of [001] axes strongly aligned along the lineation, suggesting its deformation was coeval to the omphacite. Titanite, mainly overgrown around rutile, indicates a random CPO different from rutile, suggesting its growth during late-stages. Hornblende in both types of eclogites shows identical fabric to that of omphacite, displaying CPO of [001] axes parallel to the lineation and poles of (010) and (110) planes form girdles perpendicular to the foliation, suggesting topotactic replacement over omphacite during exhumation. The EBSD data, combined with textural features, indicate syn-deformation peak metamorphism as well as preserve records of subsequent exhumation.

The Qilinchang (Pb–Zn)–Ag-Ge deposit of the Yangtze Platform, southwest China are hosted in the Early Carboniferous carbonate rocks of the Baizuo Formation. The deposit is located within the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou (SYG) metallogenic province, which is western bounded by the Yangtze Platform in the southwestern part of China. Ore minerals are sphalerite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and marmatite, whereas gangue minerals are dolomite, calcite, and quartz. This study highlights the results of sphalerite chemistry analyzed by electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA), the laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and isotopic analysis. These techniques were used to investigate the major and trace concentrations in sphalerite from the Qilinchang deposit, in an attempt to provide noteworthy discernments into the ore-forming temperature and metal sources of the deposit. The calculated FeS (mole %) results obtained from Fe (wt. %) with the assumption that the sphalerite is stoichiometric in composition range from 0.02 to 13.48 mol % and mode at 3 mol %. This low FeS content falls within the bornite + pyrite + chalcopyrite field on the Fe–Zn–S system suggesting an increase in sulfur activity. The application of Ga/Ge ratios in sphalerite against the formation temperature was used to determine the homogenization temperature of this deposit. This expression is based on the existing Al/Si geothermometers as (Al/Si)total atomic ratio as a function of temperature calculated using available constants of hydrolysis reactions. The log10 (Ga/Ge) ratios calculated for this study range from −2.8 to 0.87, corresponding to formation temperatures of 100–227 °C, with an average of 180.3 °C. Likewise, correlation between PC1* and the homogenization temperature indicated that the calculated formation temperatures for this study ranged from 119.3 to 217.9 °C, which suggests that the deposit is sourced from a low-temperature environment. The δ34S of sphalerite is related to the thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) of Carboniferous seawater sulfate and are mainly derived from evaporites in the host strata producing H2S−rich fluid by TSR with restricted inducement from mantle-derived sulfur. The homogenous composition of Pb isotopic data of sphalerite indicates that the metals were predominantly originated from the basement rocks of the Mesoproterozoic-early Neoproterozoic rocks of the Kunyang Group. From these geochemical signatures, it can be inferred that the Qilinchang deposit was not linked to magmatic activities. It is proposed that the ore-forming fluids responsible for the formation of the deposit were generated from a low-temperature environment. Economic potential reveals the most important attributes of this deposit are high Zn and Pb grade (approximately 17.5% Zn and 6.6% Pb, 3.32 Mt of metal). Overall, the mineralization of the Qilinchang Pb–Zn deposit shows it a high-grade remarkable Pb–Zn deposit transiting between MVT and high-temperature carbonate-replacement Pb–Zn deposits. We suggest that the determination of the genetic type of this exceptional deposit is important to the research and exploration of similar Pb–Zn deposits in other metallogenic provinces of China.

This study presents detailed petrography, bulk rock geochemistry, U-Pb dating, and Sr-Nd isotopes of pre-Himalayan granite gneisses and granites exposed in the Neelum Valley, NW Pakistan. To understand pre-Himalayan crustal growth history in the Indian plate, basement granitoids provide useful constraints. Two granites (the Jura and Neelum granites) and two granitic gneisses (the Nauseri and Jura gneisses) were investigated with the goal of their petrogenesis and constraining their geotectonic settings. Petrographically both granites and gneisses contain plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz with S-type granite paragenesis of muscovite, garnet and tourmaline. Geochemically granites and gneisses are characterized by strongly peraluminous (A/NK > 1.1) character with a distinct mafic metapelitic sources. Notable negative Ta, Nb, and Ti compared to La and K, and a pronounced positive Pb anomalies in the studied rocks indicate convergence related source with a similar rare earth element pattern of upper continental crust. Two U-Pb zircon age populations, ca. 2429 ± 17 Ma and 1844 ± 11 Ma were obtained from the Nauseri gneiss whereas Jura gneiss yielded 865 ± 5.6 Ma. In contrast, Neelum and Jura granites yielded ages of 736 ± 11 Ma and 459.1 ± 3.5 Ma, respectively. Sr-Nd isotopic composition ((87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7099 to 0.7303; εNd(t) = -8.1 to −3.6) together with the major and trace element geochemistry indicate that parental magmas of granites and gneisses were derived from the partial melting of upper continental crust during syn-collision tectonic settings. The Sr-Nd isotopes coupled with two-stage model ages further suggest incorporation of Archean and Paleoproterozoic reworked continental material that contained some mafic metapelitic component as well. Tectonically the parental magma of gneisses and granites could be linked with the global-scale orogenic events that operated during the assembly and rifting of the supercontinents of Columbia to Pangaea. Protoliths of Nauseri gneiss was possibly formed during the assemblage of Columbia supercontinent (1.8 Ga). Later, the Pan-African Orogeny provided additional pulse of magmatism that resulted Jura gneiss and Neelum granite. Moreover, the Bhimphedian orogeny in the Indian plate during Ordovician times generated the Jura granite of ca. 460 Ma.

The Wadhrai granite stock is a part of the Nagar Parkar Igneous Complex, an extension of the Neoproterozoic Malani Igneous Suite of western Rajasthan. It is occupied by a petrographically uniform granite comprising perthite, plagioclase, quartz, with small quantities of biotite, opaque oxides, titanite, and secondary minerals. The rocks are sparingly porphyritic and contain dykes of microgranite, aplite, and rare pegmatite. In the south-central part, parallel sheets and swarms of mafic dykes, and in the western part very fine-grained felsic sheets intrude the body. The granite is metaluminous to peraluminous and characterized by high silica (73–76 wt%), and alkalis (7–9 wt%), and low CaO (0.15–1.4 wt%), MgO (0.15–0.38 wt%), Th (7–12 ppm), and U (1–2 ppm). On geochemical discriminant diagrams, it classifies mostly as A-type (with rather high Y/Nb (8.6 to 2.4, average 5.2) and low Nb/Ga and Ce (typical of A2-type), but sparingly as I-type. Chondrite-normalized patterns show enrichment in LREE over HREE, and small negative Eu anomalies, whereas mantle-normalized spidergrams display higher LILE over HFSE, distinct troughs for Nb, Sr, P, Ti, and spikes for La, Ce, Nd, Sm and Tb. The granite magma was possibly derived from a tonalite-granodiorite-dominated crustal source. Based on the above-mentioned geochemical evidence, it is interpreted that the source rocks of the magma of the Wadhrai granite likely developed initially in a continental margin subduction setting and underwent partial melting in a continental extensional environment.

The Paleocene coals of the Salt Range in the Punjab Province of Pakistan have great economic potential; however, their trace element and stable isotopic characteristics have not been studied in detail except for a few sporadic samples. In this study, a total of 59 coal samples of which 14 are obtained from open cast mines have been investigated for elemental composition and δ13C-δ15N isotopic signatures. Average contents of trace elements such as Co, Cr, Cu, Pb, Sr, Th, U, V, and Zn are 7.4, 41.7, 11.2, 12.5, 90.2, 4.0, 1.9, 128, and 31.1 mg/kg, respectively. These values, when compared with the World Coal Clarke values, were relatively higher in low-rank coals in comparison with Clarke values for brown coals. Likewise, As (20.4 mg/kg), Co (6.6 mg/kg), Cr (22.4 mg/kg), Cu (13.3 mg/kg), Pb (19.2 mg/kg), Sr (154.7 mg/kg), Th (2.5 mg/kg), V (47.8 mg/kg), and Zn (75.1 mg/kg) were significantly higher in the sub-bituminous to bituminous coals of the Salt Range. Mineralogical analysis, based on X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealed that the studied samples contain illite, kaolinite calcite, gypsum, pyrite, and quartz. Elemental affinity with organic and inorganic phases of coals calculated by an indirect statistical approach indicated a positive association of ash content with Ag, Al, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Mn, P, Rb, Pb, Th, U, and V, suggesting the presence of inorganic components in studied coals. However, As, Fe, Sr, and Zn exhibit negative correlations that imply their association with the organic fraction. The δ13C and δ15N isotopic range and average −24.94‰ to −25.86‰ (−25.41‰) and −2.77‰ to 3.22‰ (0.96‰), respectively, reflecting 3C type modern terrestrial vegetation were common in the palaeomires of studied coal seams. In addition, the trivial variations of 0.92‰ and 0.45‰ among 13C and 15N values can be attributed to water level fluctuations and plant assemblies.

The Kohistan Arc preserves an exquisite and ideal petrogenetic record for studying mafic magmatism in an arc environment. Here we report the geochronological, mineralogical, and geochemical data of the gabbros from the Chilas Complex of Kohistan in order to understand their genesis, timing, role in crustal thickening, and tectonic evolution in Neo-Tethys. The mineral composition of orthopyroxene (Opx) in gabbros displays transitional to metamorphic behaviour with high amount of Al2O3 (0.59–2.66 wt.%), suggesting the influence of subsolidus re-equilibration during cooling or magmatic crystallization. Thermobarometric constraints propose the crystallization of Chilas gabbros around 892–985°C and ≤1.5 GPa pressure coupled with high H2O content (5.6%–7.7%). Geochemical modelling and isotopic peculiarities such as (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.000018–0.704140) and 206Pb/204Pb (18.526–18.554) suggest that the source of gabbros was depleted, likely controlled by peridotite melts and experienced insignificant crustal contamination. Relatively lower ratios of Nb/Yb (0.89–3.32) and TiO2/Yb (0.14–0.79) imply that the garnet was not a residual phase during the partial melting of a mantle source. The Chilas gabbros with depletion in Nb and Ta, enrichment in light rare earth element (LREE)s, the lower Ce/Pb ratios, plot of Th/La versus Th, and negative anomalies of Eu provide a consistent clue regarding the negligible participation of recycled components. Zircon U–Pb concordant ages of 83–86 Ma indicate the timing of emplacement and a Cretaceous magmatic event in the Chilas Complex. We infer that the Cretaceous magmatic flare-up is a significant crustal growth event of Kohistan and consider the underplating of mantle-derived magmas as one of the primary reasons for the crustal thickening based on zircon Hf isotopic signatures. The average chemical composition of Kohistan Complex provides support for the generation of andesitic magmas in arcs and the “andesite model” of continental crustal growth. We propose the similar petrogenesis for the Nidar, Kargil, and Chilas gabbros linking the formation of these variants within Neo-Tethys based on identical magmatic records.

The Loe-Shilman carbonatite complex in northwest Pakistan comprises carbonatite and ultrapotassic silicate rocks. The age and environment of emplacement of these rocks have long been controversial, and therefore, impeded our understanding on the regional tectonic setting. New whole-rock geochemistry, Sr-Nd isotopic and zircon petrochronological data provide age and petrogenetic information on the carbonatite and ultrapotassic silicate rocks of the Loe-Shilman complex. Zircon U/Pb data yield 206Pb/238U weighted mean ages of 90.6 ± 1.0 Ma (n = 33) for the carbonatite and 89.3 ± 1.0 Ma (n = 30) for the ultrapotassic rocks, which indicates that the two lithologies were emplaced simultaneously during a single tectonic/thermal event. The Nd isotope data of the ultrapotassic rocks is homogenous (εNd(i) = −2.5 to −2.9) and overlap εNd(i) of the carbonatite (−2.6 to −2.8), indicating derivation from a common, enriched mantle source. Despite this temporal overlap, whole-rock geochemical data, however, indicates that generation of both rock types by fractional crystallization or liquid immiscibility is unlikely and that the carbonatite and ultrapotassic rocks are actually products of two independent melts generated by partial melting of an enriched sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) source at the same time. Trace element data further indicate that the ultrapotassic rocks are products of fractional crystallization of a melt produced by a low degree partial melting of an enriched mantle source, within the garnet stability field. Moreover, the ultrapotassic rocks and carbonatites show association with anorogenic and within-plate plume type tectonic settings, coeval with juxtaposition of the northwestern margin of the Indian plate over the Réunion hotspot mantle-plume during Late Cretaceous time.

Oxygen isotope data (δ18O) of quartz are reported for the San-yo and Ryoke belt granites, metamorphic rocks, and late-stage siliceous veins. The analyzed quartz showed δ18O values of 9.7-12.9‰ (relative to VSMOW) in granites, 15.1-17.3‰ in biotite schist, 16.4-17.8‰ in siliceous schist. The δ18O values of quartz in foliation-parallel and -normal veins are 16.6‰ and 17.3‰, respectively. The δ18O values of quartz in the granite samples are relatively higher than those crystallized from I-type granite magma (ca. 5–8‰) and similar with values of S-type granite magma (ca. 9–12‰). These features suggest partial melting of the chemically modified crust with sedimentary precursors to form the parental magma of granites. Hafnium isotope data of zircons from those granites, reported in an earlier publication, exhibited by εHf (t) values between +1.1 and -4.8, provide additional evidence for the formation of the granites from a continental crust with some incorporation of hydrothermally altered reworked crust before partial melting. The relatively higher δ18O values (> 15‰) of quartz in siliceous veins indicate their precipitation from silica- and 18O-rich fluids that were extracted from the slab-dehydration process during late-stages of their evolution.

The Mansehra Granitic Complex (MGC) is mainly comprised of Mansehra Granite, Hakale Granite, pegmatitic, microgranitic, and leucogranitic bodies in the northwest Lesser Himalaya of Pakistan. The Mansehra Granite is generally massive but occasionally gneissic due to local shearing manifested by solid-state deformation. Geochemical classification diagrams placed these plutonic rocks in calc-alkaline, peraluminous granite fields. The zircon saturation temperatures of the Mansehra Granite, Hakale Granite, and Leucogranite are 749–852, 709–779, and 749–754 °C, respectively. The temperature range (709–852 °C) of the MGC rocks is comparable with crystallization temperatures (670–817 °C) of the peraluminous S-type Lesser Himalayan Indian granites. Rb/Sr and Sr/Ba ratios suggest that the granitic melt of Mansehra Granite was derived through biotite dehydration-melting of the protolith Tanawal Formation at > 5 kbr pressure and > 700 °C temperature, whereas the Hakale Granite magma was generated at a relatively shallower depth and lower temperatures by muscovite fluid-absent anatexis of the source rock. The occurrence of andalusite in the contact aureole of Mansehra Granite, presence of perthitic microcline along with negative Nb, Sr, and Ti anomalies in spider diagram and higher Rb/Sr ratios reveal upper crustal signatures and low-pressure shallow emplacement (< 15 km) of the MGC magmatic bodies. The occurrence of psammitic restites, migmatites, and geochemical characteristics suggests the S-type trait of these plutonic rocks. The leucogranitic bodies most likely are the products of Na2O-rich residual melt and boron-rich fluids of the MGC magma. Harker’s variation diagrams indicate that the MG, HG, and LG display significant to poor relationships which suggest imperfect mixing of the non-homogenous protolith during partial crustal melting. However, scattering in some of the plots reflects the heterogeneity of the protolith and irregular distribution of minerals in the granitic melt of the MGC. Owing to affiliation with the continental-continental, syn-collisional geotectonic field, petrogenesis of the MGC rocks can be attributed to an Andean-type Cambro-Ordovician episode along the northern margin of east Gondwana.

We investigated zircons from the Nagar Parkar Igneous Complex (NPIC) Gray and Pink granites for hafnium isotope and trace elements geochemistry to elucidate their petrogenetic source and tectonic setting. The studied zircons are characterized by oscillatory zoning, contain micro-inclusions of apatite, monazite, xenotime, and plagioclase. Rare-earth elements of the Neoproterozoic (ca. 750 Ma) zircons are characterized by a positive slope from La to Lu, exhibit distinct positive Ce- and negative Eu-anomalies that suggest their crystallization in magma that was fractionating plagioclase. The relatively smaller but variable Ce/Ce*N ratios (2–62), smaller Eu/Eu*N (0.01 to 0.45), and comparatively higher Th/U ratios (>0.30, reaching up to 3.20) affirm their derivation mainly from the continental crustal type magmas. The εHf(t) values of zircons in Gray and Pink granites range from +5.7 to +14.4 and +1.9 to +10.7, respectively, indicate their derivation from a juvenile crust and the absence of negative εHf(t) values point towards non-involvement of the older or reworked material during the crustal growth. The TDM model ages, calculated from the Hf isotope values of zircons, spread between 1119 and 736 Ma for Gray and 1013 and 900 Ma in Pink granites, further opine their derivation from a comparatively young and juvenile crust. Crystallization temperatures, estimated from the titanium content in zircon and zircon-saturation in whole-rock, range from 631 to 905 °C and 784 to 918 °C, respectively, show consistent results for the crystallization conditions of most granitic melts. Whole-rock major and trace element data, combined with zircon Hf isotope and trace elements geochemistry suggest within-plate A-type granitic magma that likely generated in a rift-related tectonic setting that persisted along the western margin of Rodinia during the Neoproterozoic era.

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>Thermometry of high-grade metamorphic rocks is difficult due to fast cationic diffusion during slow cooling, but the titanium content of calcium amphibole (Ti-Amp) can retrieve amphibole-forming temperature as high as ~1000 °C. Based on pseudosection modeling and past research survey, we find that Ti-Amp is controlled by temperature under the conditions of oxygen fugacity &lt;2 log units above the Ni-NiO oxygen buffer (ΔNNO+2), in subalkaline systems, and with the presence of Ti-phases (rutile, ilmenite, or titanite). We apply available experimental data to calibrate a new Ti-Amp thermometer for such conditions:</jats:p>
<jats:p>T ( C ° ) = 2400 1.52 − log ⁡ Ti Amp − 273</jats:p>
<jats:p>where T is temperature and log TiAmp is the Ti content of amphibole in atom per formula unit (apfu) expressed in the logarithm to base 10. The standard error of the calibration experiments is ±35 °C. This thermometer can be applied only if the aforementioned conditions are fulfilled. Besides, caution should be taken when applying the thermometer to rocks under subsolidus water-unsaturated conditions, which can be observed as non-equilibrium textures or low bulk-rock water content (&lt;1–1.5 wt%). The results of this thermometer may be underestimated if applied to rocks that are equilibrated above 850 °C and contain rutile and a significant amount of water (&gt;3.5–4 wt%).</jats:p>
<jats:p>The new thermometer can be successfully applied to amphibole-bearing natural igneous and meta-morphic rocks. In addition, we propose the Si vs. Ti in amphibole diagram that roughly demarcates the boundaries among the high amphibolite, high-temperature granulite, and ultrahigh-temperature granulite facies. Although pseudosection modeling provides details of the P-T evolution of studied rocks, the Ti-Amp thermometer is quick and easy to apply. However, further research is needed to improve our knowledge of the behavior and stability of amphibole and to improve the accuracy of both pseudosection modeling and conventional thermometry.</jats:p>

<p>Zirconium in rutile thermometry data from the garnet granulites of the Jijal Complex of Kohistan arc, NW Himalaya are presented in this study. The garnet granulites are composed of garnet, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, quartz, symplectic augite/amphibole, rutile, ilmenite, zircon, and magnetite. Rutile grains range in size from 50 to 350 µm, occur as inclusion in garnet, clinopyroxene, and in plagioclase as well as along the grain boundaries. In total 19 rutile grains were analyzed for Zr contents using an X–ray Analytical Microscope (XGT–5000) by HORIBA. The Zr contents among the analyzed grains ranged between 450 and 920 ppm, where the analyzed spots with lower Zr contents (containing SiO₂ or Fe₂O₃), indicating some influence of host silicate or ilmenite, were removed from results. At the individual grain scale, most of the rutile grains exhibited homogeneous chemical compositions, regardless of their textural affinity. Temperature values, based on zirconium in rutile thermometry, ranged between 792 and 849 °C for rutile enclosed in garnet, 771 and 851 °C for rutile in clinopyroxene, and 784 and 862 °C for rutile in plagioclase whereas matrix rutile grains showed <i>T</i> values between 820 and 847 °C. Using the pressure–dependent zirconium in rutile thermometry, the <i>T</i> values were slightly lower (±50 to 100 °C). The maximum temperature values were consistent with the temperature data obtained from the conventional thermobarometry results (<i>P</i>; 1.2 ± 0.2 GPa and <i>T</i>; 818 ± 80 °C) whereas the lower values, likely, reflect chemical resetting of the analyzed grains during later stages of retrogression.</p>

The Kasuga High Sulfidation gold deposit is hosted in the silicified Late Miocene andesite of Nansatsu Volcanic Rocks in the southern part of the Satsuma Peninsula, Southwest Japan. Optical microscopic observations and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (Horiba XGT-5000) analysis of two silicified andesite samples from the Kasuga ore body revealed that the rocks underwent different degrees of hydrothermal alteration and no tectonic deformation afterward. Crystallographic orientations of quartz composing the silicified andesite samples studied using Electron Backscatter Diffraction, EBSD (EDAX GE-1, TSL-OIM) displayed different trends in the <i><b>c</b></i>-axis orientations between the samples. The <i><b>c</b></i>-axes of quartz grains are mainly oriented sub-horizontal or plunging at low angles in the less-silicified andesite. The highly silicified sample has larger quartz grains with <i><b>c</b></i>-axes plunging at high angles. The difference in <i><b>c</b></i>-axis orientations is provably related to the silicification processes in the earlier and later stages of hydrothermal alteration. The results of this study suggest that quartz <i><b>c</b></i>-axis orientations of rocks deformed under low strain regimes are potentially inherited from initial undeformed state, for example crystallization from hydrothermal solutions.

In this study, we revisited a serpentinite occurrence in the Shimanto Belt. Serpentinite is sporadically distributed along a distance of 1400 m in a north—south-striking zone, across a width of about 250 m, at Yaseo on the Satsuma Peninsula. We mapped isolated blocks, debris deposits, and massive bodies of serpentinite. Two significant serpentinite bodies are exposed over areas measuring approximately 100×50 m and 200×70 m. These bodies overlie west-dipping sandstone and mudstones layers; the boundary between serpentinite and sedimentary layers is subhorizontal. Brittle shear planes near the structural base of serpentinite indicate top-to-the-east displacement. The serpentinite bodies are interpreted as klippes that were structurally emplaced onto the sedimentary sequence of the Shimanto Belt.

Eclogites of the Kaghan valley, Pakistan Himalaya were investigated petrographically and geochemically. Based on petrography, geochemistry and mineral compositions, metamorphic history and a reasonable tectonic model are proposed. Eclogites exposed in the Kaghan valley are classified into two groups. Group I eclogites appear as massive and Group II are lens-type. Group I eclogites have a mineral assemblage of garnet, omphacitic clinopyroxene, quartz, symplectite with rare epidote and phengite. Accessory minerals include abundant zircon, rutile, ilmenite, and rare apatite. Group II eclogites have a mineral assemblage of garnet, omphacitic clinopyroxene, phengite, quartz/coesite, epidote, and symplectite. In accessory minerals rutile and ilmenite are common while zircon and apatite are rare. Different types of protolith are proposed for these eclogites. Group I eclogites have higher FeO and TiO₂ contents and trace element contents, and seem to be derived from gabbroic protolith. Group II eclogites have lower FeO and TiO₂ and trace element contents and were derived from basalts. Pressure-temperature-time path was constructed for the Kaghan valley eclogites using various mineral assemblages along with textural relationship and inclusions study. At least three distinct metamorphic stages were identified. The first stage is the prograde garnet growth stage deduced from the inclusion paragenesis in garnet core. The second stage records the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic stage deduced from the presence of coesite inclusions in omphacitic clinopyroxene. The third stage is the decompression stage and is deduced from the quartz-albite-amphibole symplectite portions. These petrological and geochemical results combined with isotopic ages reported elsewhere indicate that basalts and associated gabbroic dikes were emplaced at about 267 Ma when the Indian plate was moving northward and passing above an unknown hot spot. The closure of the Tethys and initiation of collision of the Indian plate with the Kohistan-Ladakh Island Arc is reported from 65-50 Ma. After that the leading-edge of the Indian plate underwent eclogite facies metamorphism at 49 Ma and when it reached to depths of about 100 km, the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic event took place at 46 Ma.
