Abstract

A combined study of single zircon U-Pb dating, Hf-O zircon isotopic analyses and whole-rock Nd isotopic compositions was carried out to infer the magma sources of Neoproterozoic post-collisional A-type granitoids in Saudi Arabia. U-Pb zircon dating of magmatic zircons of two samples from the Hadb adh Dayheen ring complex yielded ages of 625±11Ma for a hornblende-biotite granite sample, and 613±4Ma for a monzogranite sample. The granitic rocks show initial ε_Nd values of +4.1 to +5.3 and ε_Hf of +4.5 to +8.4 that are lower than those of a model depleted mantle (ε_Hf ~+14 and ε_Nd ~+6.5) and consistent with melting of subduction-related crustal protoliths that were formed during the Neoproterozoic assembly of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS). Crustal-model ages (Hf-t_NC) of 0.81 to 1.1Ga are inconsistent with depleted-mantle Nd model ages of 0.71 to 0.81Ga and indicate that the post-collisional Hadb adh Dayheen granites were derived mostly from juvenile crust formed in Neoproterozoic time. Single zircons data show a wide range in δ¹⁸O values from +3.2‰ to +6.4‰, possibly indicating crystallization of zircon from magma derived from magmatic rocks altered by meteoric water in a magma chamber-caldera system.

N2 - A combined study of single zircon U-Pb dating, Hf-O zircon isotopic analyses and whole-rock Nd isotopic compositions was carried out to infer the magma sources of Neoproterozoic post-collisional A-type granitoids in Saudi Arabia.
