Abstract

The Eocene Gyeongju granitoids in SE Korea are alkali feldspar granite (AGR), biotite granite (BTGR), and hornblende biotite granodiorite (HBGD) along Yangsan fault and Ulsan fault. According to their geochemical characteristics, these granitoids are classified as A-type (AGR) and I-type (BTGR and HBGD) granitoids, and regarded that were derived from same parental magma in upper mantle. The hornblende and biotite of AGR as an interstitial phase indicate that influx of F-rich fluid during the crystallization of AGR magma. AGR is enriched LILE (except Sr and Ba) and LREE that indicate the influences for subduction released fluids. The highest HFSE contents and zircon saturation temperature of AGR among the Eocene Gyeongju granitoids may indicate that it was affected by partial melting rather than magma fractionation. These characteristics may represent that the high F contents of AGR was affected by F-rich fluid derived from the subducted slab and partial melting. It corresponds with the results of the REE modeling and the dehydrated fluid component (Ba/Th) modeling showing that AGR (A-type) was formed by the partial melting of BTGR (I-type) with the continual influx of F-rich fluid derived from the subducted slab.

한반도 남동부에 분포하는 에오세 경주 화강암체들은 양산단층과 울산단층을 따라 분포하며, 알칼리장석화강암(AGR), 흑운모화강암(BTGR), 각섬석흑운모화강섬록암으로 분류된다. 지화학적 특성에 따라 이들은 A-형 화강암 (AGR)과 I-형 화강암 (BTGR)로 분류되며, 상부맨틀 내의 같은 모마그마로부터 유래한 것으로 생각된다. AGR의 경우, 유색광물들 (각섬석, 흑운모)이 간극상으로 관찰되는데 이는 AGR 마그마의 결정화 동안 Fluorine (F)이 풍부한 유체가 유입되었을 것으로 생각된다. AGR은 친석원소와 (Sr, Ba 제외) 경희토류원소의 함량이 높으며, 이는 섭입대에서 유래한 유체의 영향으로 생각된다. 에오세 경주 화강암체 중 AGR의 가장 높은 고장력원소 함량과 저어콘포화온도는 마그마 결정분화보다는 부분용융의 영향으로 판단된다. 이들 특징들은 AGR의 높은 F 함량이 섭입슬랩에서 유래한 F이 풍부한 유체와 부분 용융의 영향을 나타내는 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 또한 이러한 결과는 이 연구에서 수행한 희토류원소와 Ba/Th 모델링과도 일치한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 AGR은 BTGR의 부분용융과 섭입슬랩에서 유래한 F이 풍부한 유체의 유입의 영향이 합쳐져 형성된 것으로 판단하였다.
