    Abstract:

    This study presents bulk petrogeochemistry and zircon U-Pb dating results for the Niuzhi monzonitic porphyry in Mojiang, Yunnan. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating results show that the Niuzhi monzonitic porphyry formed in the Late Permian (263.5±1.7 Ma). The Niuzhi monzonitic porphyry is characterized by SiO2 content of 55.30%-74.37%, alkali (Na2O+K2O) 2.56%-7.57%, and Na2O higher than K2O. It is enriched in LREE and Sc, Co, Cs, As, and depleted in Cr, Ni, Zn, Rb, Sr, Ba, Zr, Ta, Th, U, W, with negative Eu anomalies (δ Eu 0.74-1.06). According to the diagrams, the Niuzhi monzonitic porphyry formed in the tectonic environment of island arc-continent or continental-arc collision, indicating that the branch of Paleo-Tethys Ocean or arc basin in Ailaoshan tectonic belt may have been closed in the Late Permian (263.5±1.7 Ma).
