摘要
The Guangxingyuan composite pluton is located at the upper reaches of Xar Moron River, Inner Mongolia. It is composed mainly of monzonite, monzogranite,granite,and granodiorite with minor amount of monzogabbro and diorite exposed at edges. Its geochemistry is characterized by the typical volcanic-magmatic arc environment. High-precision SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating was carried out on early monzonite and granodiorite intruding the monzonite, and yielded 206Pb/238U weighted mean ages of 263.8±2.1 Ma and 263.3±2.5 Ma, respectively, suggesting a Mid-Late Permian age. These data demonstrate that the southeastern margin of the Paleo-Asian Ocean crust subducted southward beneath North China Craton during the Mid-Late Permian, resulting in a volcanic-magmatic arc environment at the northern margin of North China Craton, which was followed by collisional orogensis between the northern paleo-North China plate’s margin and southern Siberia Craton in Mid-Early Triassic.
