Petrogenesis of Diorite-Porphyrite in the Southern Xintai Area of the Mid-Western Shandong Peninsula, North China Craton: Insights from Geochronology, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Sr-Nd-Hf Isotopes

The Early Cretaceous intermediate intrusive rocks have important significance in understanding the crust–mantle interaction, iron mineralization, and tectonic evolution in the western Shandong Peninsula. In this study, we present new zircon U–Pb ages, and Hf isotope, whole-rock geochemistry, Sr–Nd isotopes, and the mineral chemistry of the diorite-porphyrite in the southern Xintai area, mid-western Shandong Peninsula. The diorite-porphyrite formed at ca. 125 Ma. They have intermediate SiO2 (59.57–62.29 wt.%) and MgO (2.78–3.58 wt.%) contents, high Mg# values (53–56), high Sr (589–939 ppm) and low Y (9.2–10.8 ppm) contents, and high Sr/Y ratios (54–94), showing adakitic affinity. The diorite-porphyrite exhibits lower zircon εHf(t) values (−30.1 to 7.5) and whole-rock εNd(t) values (−3.5 to −6.0), with (87Sr/86Sr)i ratios of 0.70514–0.70567. We suggest that the diorite-porphyrite was derived from the partial melting of the local delamination of lower continental crust and then by the interaction with the enriched lithospheric mantle. The genesis of diorite-porphyrite may be related to the rollback process of the Paleo-Pacific slab in the Early Cretaceous. This geodynamic process induced the melting of the enriched lithospheric mantle, subducted oceanic crust, and local delamination of lower continental crust, which produced different types of adakitic magmatism in the western Shandong Peninsula.
