In our paper, we suggested that the Junan granulite xenoliths and xenocrysts record evolution of the Precambrian lower crust beneath the southeastern North China Craton (NCC). Yuan and Xia (2015) disagree with us. However, they have not fully considered the evolutional histories of the NCC lithosphere, and geochemical and isotopic compositions of the Junan xenoliths. We also contend that they have...
Knowledge of the lower crust beneath the southeastern parts of North China Craton (NCC) is still sparse. The Junan basalts (67 Ma) in the southeastern NCC contain abundant xenoliths of lower crustal granulites, pyroxenites and mantle peridotites. We present integrated in-situ U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes of zircons from the Junan basalts and granulite xenoliths, to investigate accretion and modification...
We thank Zeng and Yan (2014) for their interest in our recent paper “Petrogenesis and geochronology of Cretaceous adakitic, I- and A-type granitoids in the NE Yangtze block: Constraints on the eastern subsurface boundary between the North and South China blocks”. However, Zeng and Yan (2014) have misinterpreted some available data and literature regarding the basement in the Yangtze block. After carefully...
In situ Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf-isotopes, whole-rock major- and trace elements, and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of the Liudusi and Taiboding intrusions in the Jiaodong Peninsula (eastern China) are presented to trace their petrogenesis and relationships to lithosphere evolution. The Liudusi complex, which consists of biotite-bearing gabbro and quartz monzonite, formed at ca 115Ma. The rocks show shoshonitic...
The position of the subsurface boundary between the North China block (NCB) and South China block (SCB) has been debated, mainly using evidence from surface geology and geophysical observations. Here, petrochemical and geochronological data on four early Cretaceous granitic plutons from a focused area east of the Tan–Lu fault, NE Yangtze block, are reported to provide constraints on their petrogenesis...
Adakite was originally defined as a specific type of magmatic rock derived from melting of subducted oceanic plates (Defant, M.J., Drummond, M.S., 1990. Derivation of some modern arc magmas by melting of young subducted lithosphere. Nature 347 (6294), 662–665), producing unique chemical signatures with high Sr/Y and La/Yb. However, widespread occurrences of igneous rocks that are geochemically similar...
