Abstract

The geochemical results of the Chunyang granites located in the northeastern part of the Yeongnam Massif, indicate that these rocks have characteristics of calc-alkaline series in the sub-alkaline field, I-type and peraluminous. Most of the geochemical features in major and trace elements show systematic trends, which are similar to differentiation trends of the general Jurassic granitoids in South Korea. The Chunyang granite is largely enriched in mobile LILE (Sr, K, Rb and Ba) relatively immobile HFSE. They show LREE enriched patterns [$(La/Lu)_{CN}=41.8-73.2$] with a slightly negative Eu anomaly [$(Eu/Eu^*)_{CN}=0.89-1.10$]. There are no meaningful correlations in major and trace elements between the Chunyang granites and the Buseok plutonic rock which is the main unit of the Yeongju batholith. This result may suggest that these two plutonic rocks be not derived from the same parent magma. Tectonic discrimination diagrams indicate that the Chunyang granite was formed in volcanic arc environments. These geochemical characteristics results suggest that the Chunyang granite must have been generated at the active continental margin during the subduction of the Jurassic proto-Pacific plate.

영남육괴 북동부에 위치하는 춘양화강암은 비알칼리계열 중 칼크-알칼리계열에 해당하는 I-type의 화강암류이며, 고알루미나질이다. 주성분원소 및 미량원소의 함량변화는 체계적인 연속성을 보이며, 일반적인 남한의 쥐라기 화강암류의 분화경향과 유사하다. 미량원소 중 유동성을 가지는 LILE (Sr, K, Rb, Ba)는 부화되어 있는 반면, 비유동성을 나타내는 HFSE 중 Ta, Nb, P, Ti의 함량은 상대적으로 결핍되어 있다. HREE에 대한 LREE의 강한 부화($(La/Lu)_{CN}=41.8-73.2$)와 Eu 부(-)이상[$(Eu/Eu^*)_{CN}=0.89-1.10$]은 남한에 분포하는 쥐라기 화강암류의 패턴과 매우 유사하다. 이러한 춘양화강암을 암체의 서쪽에 위치하며 영주저반의 대부분을 차지하는 부석심성암체와 비교하면 주성분원소 및 미량원소의 Harker 성분변화도에서 $SiO_2$ 함량에 따른 상관관계를 인지할 수 없어 두 암체는 성인적으로 무관한 별개의 암체로 사료된다. 춘양화강암은 지구조 판별도에서 화산호 환경에 도시되고 따라서 춘양화강암의 지화학적 특성을 종합해보면 쥐라기 고태평양판이 섭입하는 활동성 대륙주변부 환경에서 생성되었을 것으로 사료된다.
