- Abstract
Metamorphosed dacitic porphyry dikes were first found in the western part of the Vorontsovka terrane, which is located in the Paleoproterozoic Volga–Don orogen at the margin of Archean Sarmatia and Volga–Ural cratons. The magmatic protolith age for the metadacites is ca. 2.07 Ga. These are ferrous, metaluminous calc-alkali I-type granitoids. The sodium specialization of the rocks and their low concentrations of Mg, Cr, Ni, and incompatible elements, with significant REE fractionation, the absence of Eu* anomalies, high Sr/Y ratio, remarkably high (Gd/Yb)n values (>10), and the radiogenic Nd isotopic composition indicate that the dacitic melts were derived from a juvenile mafic source. According to petrogenetic estimations, such conditions could be caused by the partial melting of depleted N-MORB basites in equilibrium with an eclogitic residue. The dacitic magmas were likely generated by the partial melting of mafic rocks at lower levels of the significantly thickened crust (>60 km) in relation to collision processes.
