Zusammenfassung
Major tin (Sn) deposits within the Variscan orogen are closely related to 325–270 Ma postkinematic granites that intruded the metamorphic rocks of the former precollisional accretionary wedge of the Gondwana margin. In the Erzgebirge (Germany), some of these metasedimentary rocks have high Sn contents (locally more than 1000 ppm Sn). We report cassiterite (SnO2) U-Pb ages of 395–365 Ma and high Sn contents in prograde biotite in these metasedimentary rocks. These data demonstrate that Sn was already introduced into these rocks during accretion and prograde metamorphism. Mobilization of Sn from sedimentary source rocks during prograde fluid loss in a subduction-accretion setting represents an important process of pre-enrichment of sedimentary source rocks that upon partial melting may produce Sn-enriched melts. The large-scale metamorphic mobilization of Sn, documented here for the first time, highlights the possible importance of metamorphic Sn enrichment in accretionary complexes, thereby explaining the spatial distribution of major Sn districts within the Variscan orogen.
