Abstract
The Hegenshan–Heihe Suture (HHS) is an important suture zone between the Xing’an and Songliao–Xilinhot blocks in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Many studies have examined the northern and southern parts of this suture zone, but the middle segment remains under-researched and controversial. This paper presents new research into Permian felsic rocks along the middle segment of the HHS, including alkaline granites, rhyolites, and granodiorites. Zircon U–Pb dating of these rocks yielded precise Permian ages of 300.4 ± 2.5, 292.8 ± 2.7, and 293.1 ± 2.2 Ma. The alkaline granites and the rhyolites are A-type rocks that were derived from lower crustal protoliths, with the melting of these protoliths caused by asthenospheric upwelling associated with lithospheric delamination. In comparison, the granodiorites are I-type granites were generated from a mantle-derived magmatic source. The petrogenesis of these granites also involved the assimilation of sedimentary rocks and fractional crystallization. This Permian magmatism occurred during post-collisional extension following the amalgamation of the Xing’an and Songliao–Xilinhot blocks.
