| Abstract |
The coupling of zircon typology together with the distribution of trace elements contents (Hf, Y, Th, U) in crystals, determined after ponctual electron microprobe analyses (and observations with cathodoluminescence), constitutes a fundamental key for the understanding of granitic magma history: source material and protolitic composition, contaminations at different periods of the magmatic stage, role of late fluid phases. Chemical composition of zircon crystals changes as a function of the mantle, hybrid or crustal origin of granitic rocks (oceanic or continental). Oceanic tholeiitic differentiates have specific zircons with low HfO2 (mainly <1%) and high Y contents. In the same way, but less marked, zircon populations from calc-alkaline rocks have early magmatic crystals with low HfO2 (<1.2%) and sometimes high Y contents, systematically absent in crustal rocks (out of inherited nuclei). |
