英文摘要 | The Nigerian alkaline ring complexes have long been regarded as typical anorogenic A-type granite. However, uncertainty still surrounds many aspects of their petrogenesis and tectonic implication. In this paper, a combined study of whole rock geochemistry, Nd-Pb isotope and zircon U-Pb dating was carried out on the Kudaru ring complex from north-central Nigeria. The complex consists of mildly alkaline fayalite granite porphyry, peralkaline arfvedsonite granite and metaluminous biotite granite, which were emplaced between 176.9 ± 2.5 and 180.55 ± 0.6 Ma. These rocks are characterized by variably high alkalis, HFSEs, Ga/Al ratios, and zircon saturation temperature, typically of A-type granites. Notably, the popular subdivision scheme of A-type granite permits the discrimination of the alkaline-peralkaline granites as typical “A1-type” granites and the metaluminous granite as “A2-type”. These co-existing A1 and A2 granites show distinct isotopic compositions with less negative εNd (t) values and higher 206Pb/204Pb ratios for the former, indicating that the magma which gave rise to the A1 and A2 suites was derived from an enriched mantle source but modified to different extent during ascent. Notably, the coexistence of A1-A2 granites do not indicate discrete tectonic regimes (intraplate setting for A1 and post-orogenic setting for A2), but rather point to a significant role of crustal contamination, as seen also from the differences in Y/Nb ratios. © 2020, Geologische Vereinigung e.V.
