Abstract:
After detailed field survey and indoor analysis, the quartz diorites exposed at the Kekesha area of Dulan, eastern section of the East Kunlun orogenic belt, include four types of rocks: (1)Gray-dark gray medium grained quartz diorite; (2) Gray medium grained gneissic quartz diorite; (3)Gray medium-coarse grained amphibole quartz diorite; (4)Light flesh-red medium-fine grained porphraceous adamellite. LA-ICP-MS method is used to determine the zircon U-Pb isotope age of the rock, which shows that the zircon 206Pb/238U weighted average age of the sample 11013 is 515.2±4.4Ma (MSWD=2.5) and defines the crystallization age of the rocks in Middle Cambrian period. It indicated that East Kunlun orogenic belt had experienced a magmatism event during the early Caledonian.
