Geochemistry and K-Ar Age of Gabbroic Rocks in the Konamsan Area of Yonchon Province, South Korea

연천 고남산 지역에 분포하는 반려암질암의 암석화학과 관입시기

Gabbroic rocks in which titanomagnetite orebodies are embedded were emplaced in Precambrian metasedimentary rocks. Hornblende K-Ar ages for equigranula and gneissic gabbros were obtained to be $1021.8{\pm}14.5$ Ma and $1468.4{\pm}20.8$ Ma, respectively. Biotite-granite has an age of 116.4 Ma, which has corresponded to Daebo granite. Amphibole minerals of the gabbroic rock and the magnetite orebodies belong to calcic amphibole group such as ferroan pargasite, pargasite, and ferro-pargasite. The gabbroic rocks have unusually high content of $TiO_2$ ranging from 0.88 to 6.03 wt.% with an average value of 3.46 wt.% as compared to normal gabbroic rock with 1.32 wt.% in $TiO_2$. Incompatible elements such as Ba and Sr of the gabbros are negatively correlated with $SiO_2$. In contrast, Co and Cr have a positive correlation with $SiO_2$, suggesting a normal differentiation trend of gabbroic magma.
