  • In order to furtherly constrain the evolution of regional geological structure in the western Ethiopia, we selected the magmatic rocks from the Bure area of western Ethiopia for petrogeochemical and chronologic analysis.The Burequartz monzonite in western Ethiopia has relatively high SiO2(66.4% to 68.5%), K2O (4.56% to 4.87%), and iron value (TFeO/(TFeO+MgO) is 0.75 to 0.79), and relatively low MgO (0.8% to 1.3%), CaO (2.01% to 2.36%), and A/CNK (0.89~0.96), withthe characteristic that areemriched in elements such as Zr, Hf, Y, and Ga, and depleted Sr, P, Ti, and Eu elements, which reveal the feature of A-type granite. The zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age of the rock is 631±4 Ma (MSWD=2.9), representing the extension stage of the East African orogenic movement. The εHf(t) values of Bure A-type granite range from 3.2 to 9.1 (average=7.3), showing a relatively inhomegeneous feature. The Bure A-type granite formed in the post-stretching environment of the East African orogenic movement. Thewhole rock geochemistryand Hf isotopic characteristicssuggest that the Bure A-type granite may originated from basaltic magma in the thinned lithospheric mantle, and then formed through extensive crystallization differentiation.
