Abstract: Zircon U-Pb dating was carried out for four granitoid plutons at Wulian in the north-western part of the Sulu orogenic belt,whose intrusion ages were not known for a long time and thus were often confused with adjacent granitoids of Neoproterozoic age. The present dating yields concordant ages of 123±4 Ma for amphibole monzonite at Dadian, 126±3 Ma for pyroxene monzonite at Qibaoshan,116±4 Ma for miraolitic granite at Wulianshan.and 115±1 Ma for monzonitic granite at Maershan.The results show the occurrence of Early Cretaceous intru sions at~ 115 Ma and ~ 125 Ma in the Sulu orogenic belt,being consistent with those coeval magmatic activity in the Dabie orogenic belt an d the northeastern part of the Sulu orogenic belt.Although these Yanshanian granitoids occur in the Triassic collisional orogen between the Yangtze and North China plates,they belong to post-collisional magmatism and were produced by partial melting of the subducted continental crust.
