Whole-rock elemental geochemistry and Nd isotope composition of siliciclastic rocks from the basal part of the unmetamorphosed middle Paleoproterozoic Francevillian Group, Gabon (FA Formation and FB1 Member) were examined to provide insights into their provenance and its crustal evolution. Chemical weathering index diagrams suggest moderate degree of weathering in the provenance and secondary K-addition during illitization. Trace element geochemical proxies including the REEs provide evidence for sediment derivation from felsic-dominated upper continental crust (UCC) similar to Archean trondhjemite-tonalite-granodiorite (TTG) with minor contribution of mafic components. The low 143Nd/144Nd and negative eNd values (-10.83 to -5.76) provide further evidence for old and evolved upper continental crust components in detrital sources. The depleted mantle model ages for the provenance protolith (2.73-3.05 Ga) are consistent with sediments sourced from the Mesoarchean granitoids of East Gabonian block exposed in the northern and southern parts of Gabon. We infer that the evolved, Mesoarchean felsic TTG-like granitoids were the main source for the sediments of the basal Francevillian Group, while minor mafic inputs from the contemporaneous greenstone belt with the Belinga Group cannot be completely discounted. The predominantly old crustal sources for the sediments suggest crustal addition and recycling of differentiated granitoid plutons instead of formation of juvenile crust during deposition in the Francevillian basin.

元素地球化学和 Nd 同位素对加蓬中古元古代 Francevillian 群基底硅质碎屑层序物源的限制

研究了来自加蓬未变质的中古元古代弗朗西维利亚群(FA 组和 FB1 段)基部的硅质碎屑岩的全岩元素地球化学和 Nd 同位素组成,以深入了解它们的来源及其地壳演化。化学风化指数图显示出处中等程度的风化和伊利特化过程中的二次钾添加。包括 REE 在内的微量元素地球化学替代物提供了沉积物源自以长英质为主的上大陆地壳 (UCC) 的证据,类似于太古代长闪长岩-英长岩-花岗闪长岩 (TTG),但基性成分的贡献很小。低 143Nd/144Nd 和负 eNd 值(-10.83 至 -5.76)为碎屑源中古老和演化的上大陆地壳成分提供了进一步的证据。物源原岩(2.73-3.05 Ga)的耗尽地幔模型年龄与来自加蓬北部和南部出露的东加蓬地块中太古代花岗岩的沉积物一致。我们推断,演化的中太古代长英质 TTG 样花岗岩是基底 Francevillian 群沉积物的主要来源,而来自与 Belinga 群同时期绿岩带的少量镁铁质输入不能完全排除。沉积物的主要古老地壳来源表明,在 Francevillian 盆地的沉积过程中,地壳添加和分化的花岗岩类岩体的再循环,而不是幼年地壳的形成。05 Ga) 与来自加蓬北部和南部出露的东加蓬地块中太古代花岗岩的沉积物一致。我们推断,演化的中太古代长英质 TTG 样花岗岩是基底 Francevillian 群沉积物的主要来源,而来自与 Belinga 群同时期绿岩带的少量镁铁质输入不能完全排除。沉积物的主要古老地壳来源表明,在 Francevillian 盆地的沉积过程中,地壳添加和分化的花岗岩类岩体的再循环,而不是幼年地壳的形成。05 Ga) 与来自加蓬北部和南部出露的东加蓬地块中太古代花岗岩的沉积物一致。我们推断,演化的中太古代长英质 TTG 样花岗岩是基底 Francevillian 群沉积物的主要来源,而来自与 Belinga 群同时期绿岩带的少量镁铁质输入不能完全排除。沉积物的主要古老地壳来源表明,在 Francevillian 盆地的沉积过程中,地壳添加和分化的花岗岩类岩体的再循环,而不是幼年地壳的形成。而同时期绿岩带与 Belinga Group 的少量镁铁质输入不能完全打折扣。沉积物的主要古老地壳来源表明,在 Francevillian 盆地的沉积过程中,地壳添加和分化的花岗岩类岩体的再循环,而不是幼年地壳的形成。而同时期绿岩带与 Belinga Group 的少量镁铁质输入不能完全打折扣。沉积物的主要古老地壳来源表明,在 Francevillian 盆地的沉积过程中,地壳添加和分化的花岗岩类岩体的再循环,而不是幼年地壳的形成。
