Granitic rocks around Namsan area, Kyeongju, were studied from petrographic and petrochemical point of view. The Naman granite is generally medium to coarse grained hypersolvus granite dominated by pink K-feldspar and quartz, and shows miarolitic cavities. K-feldspar is the most abundant mineral(57-64% in volume), forming tabular microperthite crystals, or granophyric intergrowths with quartz. Plagioclase($lt;0.3%) appears only as perthitic streaks in microcline perthite. It contains biotite(X=pale brown, Y=Z=brown), blue amphibole(X=deep blue, Z=pale to inky blue) and fluorite. Petrochemically the Namsan granite is distinguished from the Bulgugsa granites of I-type, by higher abundance of SiO₂, K₂O, (Na₂O+K₂O) and large highly charged canons such as Nb, Y, Zr and the REE, and lower abundance of Al₂O₃, MgO, CaO, Ba, Sr, Eu, Co, Sc, Cr, and Ni. The Namsan granite shows higher strontium initial ratio(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr) of 0.713±0.002, and the age yielded 51±1.4Ma(Rb-Sr age) to 49.3±0.9Ma(K-Ar age). These petrographic and petrochemical characteristics indicate that the Namsan granite belongs to the A-type granitoid series. And the Namsan granite is originated by direct, high-temperature partial melting of a melt depleted I-tape source rock in the lower crust.
