Abstract

The Dongcheondong granite is alkali feldspar granite in Dongcheondong, Gyeongju. The granite is coarse grained and consists of alkali feldspar, quartz, amphibole, and biotite. Alkali feldspar is perthitic orthoclase and quartz often shows undulatory extinction. Plagioclase often shows albite twins, and biotite and amphibole emplace as interstitial minerals. The Dongcheondong granite is plotted in A-type area having high ($Na_2O+K_2O)/Al_2O_3$ and low (MgO+CaO)/FeOT ratio. The Dongcheondong A-type granite has higher $SiO_2$, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$, Zr, Y, and REE contents (except for Eu) and lower $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, Sr, Ba, and Eu contents than I-type granites in Gyeongsang Basin. These results show that the geochemical characteristics of the Dongcheondong A-type granite are distinguished from I-type granite in Gyeongsang Basin. A-type granite in the Dongcheondong is thought to has been generated by partial melting of I-type tonalite or granodiorite.

동천동 화강암은 경주 동천동 일대에 분포하는 알칼리장석화강암이다. 이는 주로 우백질의 조립질화강암이며 알칼리장석, 석영, 흑운모, 각섬석이 관찰된다. 경하관찰 결과, 알칼리장석은 퍼싸이트로 나타나며, 석영은 주로 파동소광을 보인다. 사장석은 주로 알바이트 쌍정을 보이며, 흑운모와 각섬석은 간극상으로 산출된다. 동천동 화강암은 $(Na_2O+K_2O)/Al_2O_3$ 비가 높고 (MgO+CaO)/FeOT가 낮은 전형적인 A-형 화강암 영역에 도시되며 경상분지 I-형 화강암류에 비해 $SiO_2$, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$, Rb, Ga, Zr이 부화되어 있는 반면 $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, Sr, Ba, Sc 등은 결여되어 있다. 또한, 연구지역 화강암은 I-형 화강암에 비해 희토류원소의 함량이 높고 큰 Eu(-) 이상을 보여준다. 이러한 지화학적 특성은 기존에 보고된 경상분지 I-형 화강암류와 뚜렷이 구분된다. 동천동 A-형 화강암은 현재까지 제시된 A-형 화강암의 기원 중 지각 내의 토날라이트질(Tonalite) 내지 화강섬록암의 I-형 화강암의 부분용융으로 만들어졌을 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.
