Continental intraplate volcanism in the Sinai subplate: The Oligo-Miocene basalts of the Gulf of Suez rift

A b s t r a c t Three major Oligo-Miocene basaltic occurrences in Sinai, along the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez rift (Wadi Tayiba, Wadi Matulla and Gabal Abu Durba), have been chosen to reveal the geochemistry and petrogenesis of the magmatism associated with this newly-formed continental rift. They include riftrelated basaltic/doleritic dikes and sills and isolated basaltic lava flows, belonging to a prolonged persistent magmatic event occurred around 20 Ma, that crosscut older Phanerozoic strata and Precambrian basement. The Gulf of Suez rift (GSR) volcanics show confined range of SiO2 contents (47.51 e52.25 wt%) and Mg# values (31e48) and consist of alkaline basalts, hawaiites, mugearites and transitional tholeiitic basalts. All of the investigated basaltic samples possess explicit Fe-enrichment and sodic nature and are silica-oversaturated (quartz-normative) and metaluminous (diopside-normative and have NK/A<1 and A/CNK <1). The compatible transition elements Ni (9e69 ppm), Cr (14e123 ppm), V(237e453 ppm), Sc (19e43 ppm) are generally depleted relative to primitive lavas, consistent with the evolved nature of these basalts (e.g. low Mg# (<68) and silica-oversaturation). Conversely, these basalts show strong enrichment of most of the incompatible LIL and HFS elements relative to primitive mantle, analogous to ocean island basalts. The GSR basalts have suffered minimal degree of crustal contamination, which was likely a minor contribution from the lower crust that superimposed on crystal fractionation. The Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf ratios of the studied basalts are comparable to those of OIB and enriched MORB and are suggestive of their derivation from mantle source. The GSR basalts were most probably derived via partial melting of quite deep asthenosphere (>70 km) amphibole-bearing garnet peridotite mantle source.

Spatial association of Neoproterozoic continental arc I-type and post-collision A-type granitoids in the Arabian–Nubian Shield: The Wadi Al-Baroud Older and Younger Granites, North Eastern Desert, Egypt

Mohammed Zaky El-Bialy , Mohamed M. Omar Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Port Said University, Port Said 42522, Egypt A b s t r a c t The Neoproterozoic basement of Wadi Al-Baroud area located at the northern Eastern Desert (ED) of Egypt, at the northernmost segment of the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS), is comprised of two different granite suites. A large batholith ascribed to the Older Granite suite, extends across the boundary between the northern and central ED, and is intruded by two isolated plutons of the Younger Granite suite. The Older Granite suite includes gray-colored, massive to gneissose, granodiorites to tonalites typically containing microgranular mafic enclaves. These are calc-alkaline, magensian, metaluminous I-type granitoids, with high Sr contents, and depleted in Rb, Nb, Y and REE. The Younger Granite suite plutons are pink to red, biotite and two-mica monzogranites. These are peraluminous A-type granites exhibiting a high- K calc-alkaline nature, and varying between ferroan and magnesian type granites. The A-type granites of the Younger Granite suite are enriched in Ga, Y, HFSE and REE elements, and depleted in the LILE elements Ba, Sr and Rb and transition metals Cr, Ni, Co, Sc and V. Magmatic saturation temperatures indicate early crystallization of apatite at high temperature in the metaluminous I-type Older Granite suite, while in the peraluminous A-type Younger Granites its crystallization occurs later after separation of zircon and monazite. The plutons of the Younger Granite suite were generated during the post-collisional stage of the northern ANS, following collision between the juvenile ANS crust and the pre-Neoproterozoic continental blocks of west Gondwana. The emplacement of the Older Granite suite took place earlier, within a normally mature continental arc prior to the collision. These pre-collision granitoids evolved through assimilation-fractional crystallization processes from mantle-derived parental magmas, which have interacted with crustal materials during ascent and storage. The post-collisional Younger Granite suite seems to have been derived by high degree, partial melting of metasedimentary sources, particularly psammitic and pelitic metasediments.

7 International scientific Conference "Faculty of Science, Al Azhar Uni." March. 2008. GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON SOME PAN AFRICAN ROCKS AT WADI ABU FURAD, EASTERN DESERT, EGYPT.

I. Abu El Leil*, A.M.A.E.M. ORABI**, K.F.M. SAYED***, M.M.A. Omar** * Department of Geology, University of Al-Azhar, Egypt. ** Department of Geology, University of Al-Azhar, (Assiut branch), Egypt. *** Nuclear Materials Authority (NMA), Egypt. ABSTRACT The present area under study covers about 136 km² at southwestern corner of Safaga City between Latitude 26˚ 33´ 24˝ - 26˚ 37´ 22˝ North and Longitude 33˚ 37´ 38˝ - 33˚ 47´ 27˝ East. The area under study is covered by Pan - African rocks, including ophiolitic melange, island arc assemblage, late to post calc - alkaline rocks and molasse - type sediments (Hammamat Sediments). According to field relationship the ophiolitic melange is represented by small belt of amphibole schist. The island arc assemblage rocks are represented essentially by two rock units of metavolcanics and metagabbro that form two successive sheets thrusting over each other. The late to post orogenic rocks are represented by; tonalite, molasse type sediments and younger granites. Dykes are represented by granite, aplite and andesite.

According to the petrographicaland geochemical studies the schists (ophiolitic melange) are classified into actinolite – hornblende schist and hornblende schist. The metavolcanics are classified into metabasalt and metaandesite. Metagabbro and quartz diorite are classified into course-grained metagabbro, altered metagabbro, fine- grained metagabbro and quartz diorite. The late to post orogenic rocks are classified into tonalite, molasse type sediments(quartz arenite, quartz wakes and siltstone) and younger granites.

According to the spider diagrams of the examined schists, metavolcanics, metagabbro and quartz diorites have quite similarity in between, it is clear that they had been originated from one and same source of magma, related essentially to island arc assemblage. The constructed spider diagrams of the examined tonalite and younger granites have difference in the behavior of HFSE in the examined tonalite and younger granites, may presumably suggest that the tonalites resemble the cordilleran type granites and the younger granites resemble the caledonian type granites, coincident well with the notion of Abu El Leil et al. (1995). The plots of the trace elements of the Hammamat Sediments, reveal that the Hammamat Sediments had been derived from different reference of Pan African rocks during Late to Post orogenic stage.

8 According to the chemistry of some minerals, the plagioclases range in composition from An58.68 Ab41.32 to An73.04 Ab26.96, i.e. they have composition ranges from labradorite to bytownite. The plots on An–Ab–Or diagram (Yoder et al. 1957) reveal that the examined plagioclases formed at high tempreature. The amphiboles have the ideal formula X8Y5Z2-3O24, in the study rocks they have formula ranging from X8Y4.2Z1.5O24 to X8Y6.7Z3.2O24 i.e. they have tremolite, hornblende, pargasite and tschermakite composition. The analyzed apatite reveals that it is related to hydroxylapatite.

Abu El Liel I.*, Orabi A.**, Shalaby M.H.***, Sayed K.***, Omar M.** * Department of Geology, University of Al-Azhar, Egypt. ** Department of Geology, University of Al-Azhar, (Assuit branch), Egypt. ***Nuclear materials Authority (NMA), Egypt. A B S T R A C T The studied Pan-African rocks outcropping at the North East of Gabal Gattar, North Eastern Desert of Egypt, between Latitudes 26˚ 58´ 03˝ - 27˚ 13´ 00˝ N and Longitudes 33˚ 17´ 33˝ - 33˚ 37´ 00˝ E, comprise from oldest to youngest tonalite, granodiorite, Dokhan Volcanics, adamellite, monzogranite, syenogranite, rapakivi syenogranite, Hammamat Sediments and alkali feldspar granite. The investigated alkali feldspar granite which presents as hypersolvus granite was crystallized at high temperature. The syenogranite and rapakivi syenogranite were crystallized at moderate temperature and related to transolvus granite. The tonalite, granodiorite, adamellite and monzogranite are related to subsolvus granites. Geochemically the investigated Dokhan Volcanics are considered as andesite with calc-alkaline affinity. The behavior of trace elements may give information on result of relative sialic crust in continental arcs into which primitive mantle – derived magma were intruded and experience differentiation (calc-alkaline continental magmatic arc). The tonalite and granodiorite are tectonically related to I- type granite and show fractionated pattern from LREE to HREE without Eu anomaly, while, the other granitic rocks except the alkali feldspar granite were formed during the 9 transitional of I- type magma to A- type magma and show a fractionated pattern from LREE to HREE with negative Eu anomaly. The alkali feldspar granite represents the A- type granite. The mother source rocks of Hammamat Sediments had been derived from oceanic island arc and continental arc rocks. Mineral chemistry of plagioclases indicates that they have albite and oligoclase composition and biotite is fall within the field of plutonic biotite rich in Mg and Fe2+. The apatite is a hydroxylapatite and zircon usually contains high amounts of uranium and thorium. The investigated granitic rocks include also some minerals such as titanite (sphene), magnetite, ilmenite and rutile.
