Abstract:
The Younger Granite plutons of Gabal Um Erjaj (GUE) and Gabal Um Sudaydat (GUS) in the Eastern Desert of Egypt provide key insights into the geological history and crustal evolution of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS). These granitic intrusions represent the final phase of magmatic activity in the region, cutting through older Neoproterozoic basement rocks. Both plutons exhibit sharp, non-reactive contacts with the surrounding rocks, with no evidence of thermal alteration. Based on modal analysis, these granites are primarily alkali feldspar granites and syenogranites. The GUS granites display more deformation features and inequigranular textures, suggesting a shallower level of intrusion compared to GUE. Electron microprobe analyses reveal significant compositional variations between the two plutons, particularly in feldspar and biotite chemistry. Geochemically, both granitoid suites exhibit peraluminous, ferroan A-type characteristics, with distinct geochemical signatures that differentiate them from other A-type granites. Geothermometric analyses indicate moderate to high crystallization temperatures for accessory minerals, suggesting a highly fractionated magmatic origin. Trace element distributions, including pronounced negative Nb, Ti, and Eu anomalies, coupled with high Y/Nb ratios (>1.2), indicate a predominantly crustal-derived melt. The post-collisional geodynamic setting of these granitoids within the ANS aligns with lithospheric delamination and slab breakoff processes, contributing to the extensive crustal melting. The geotectonic discrimination diagrams support their classification as A2-type granites, reinforcing their post-collisional evolution. These findings emphasize the significance of crustal processes in the formation of post-collisional A-type granites, contributing to a broader understanding of the crustal evolution within the ANS.
