Abstract

The study focused to the so called "Yangpyeong Igneous Complex" which intruded into the Gyeong Gi gneiss complex of Pre-cambrian basement of Yangpyeong area. The geologic sequence of the mapped area was shown in table 1. In laboratory work, 31 modal analyses and 7 chemical analyses on the rock samples taken from the igneous complex have been made to discuss the nomenclature of the rocks and the petrological relationship between rock types. The petrographical and petrochemical features based on the analyses are as follow; 1) The classification of this rocks based on the systematics of igneous rocks of IUGS showed that Yangpyeong Igneous complex consist of hornblende gabbro, diorite and porphyritic monzonite. The major rock forming minerals in hornblende gabbro are hornblende and plagiodase ($An_{46{\sim}55}$), in diorite, hornblende, biotite and plagioclase ($An_{23{\sim}33}$) and in porphyritic monzonite, K-feldspar, plagioclase ($An_{21{\sim}35}$), hornblende and biotite. Hornblende gabbro and diorite show coarse to medium grained hypidiomorphic granular texture and porphyritic monzonite was named by the characteristically porphyritic texture of K-feldspar phenocrysts. 2) Silica-oxides variation diagram (Fig.4) illustrate that the igneous complex is similar ttl that of Daly's average basalt-andesite-dacite-rhyolite and equivalent to the calc-alkalic rock series of Peacock's rock series. In AMF diagram (Fig. 5), the trend of the igneous complex is nearly pararell to that of the Skaergaard intrusion which shows the trend of the fractional crystalization of magma. 3) In normative Or-Ab-An diagram (Fig. 6) the general trend of the data points from gabbro to porphyritic monzonite of the igneous complex directs to a point of Or/Ab=1:1 on the side of Or-Ab. The field and laboratory evidences suggested that the Yangpyeong igneous complex was thought to be a series of comagmatic differential products.
