Abstract:

Accurately constraining the basement formation and metamorphic deformation age of the North China Craton is the key to understanding the early tectonic evolution of the North China Craton. The Jiandeng intrusion is located in the Zanhuang complex in the southeast member of the central orogenic belt of the North China Craton, which is ~2.5 Ga granite and has undergone multi-stage metamorphism and deformation. A detailed multidisciplinary study on Jiandeng intrusion and associated undeformed pegmatites, coarse-grained deformed granite, fine-grained deformed granite,and granitic stock within Jiandeng intrusion includes field investigation, petrography, petrogeochemistry, and zircon U-Pb chronology. The results show that the main lithologies are gneiss syenogranite and monzogranite pegmatite for undeformed pegmatites. The lithologies of the other three intrusions are syenogranite. The geochemical characteristics of jiandeng intrusion and veins show high Si, rich in K and alkali elements contents, low Ti, Fe, Mg and Ca content, and rich in large ion lithophilic element Rb but deficient in high field strength element Ti. The Rb/Sr ratio ranges from 0.75 to 1.56, indicating crustal source characteristics. High Al and low Ti, and high Pb and low Th in magmatic zircon, further indicate that the Jiandeng intrusion belong to peraluminous S-type granite. LA-ICP-MS dating of zircon shows that there are ~2.5 Ga and ~2.3 Ga granite magmatic events. Veins magmatic activity can be divided into three stages, with the first three stages formed at ~2.5 Ga, ~2.3 Ga, and ~2.1 Ga, respectively. The fine-grained deformed granite records a metamorphic event at 1897±17 Ma. The tectonic evolution of the North China Craton is driven by a combination of multi-stage magmatic intrusions and metamorphic events. The formation of the Jiandeng intrusion at ~2.5 Ga marks the formation of a unified basement, indicating an early tectonic stabilization process. The Paleoproterozoic granite intrusions (2.3 Ga and 2.1 Ga) revealed a cracking-extensional event within the craton, and the metamorphic event of ~1.85 Ga represented a subduction collision process between the eastern and western land masses.
