Abstract: Major trace element characteristics and zircon U-Pb SHRIMP dating of the Luyashan augite-monzonites and Yunzhongshan granites in Luliang area, Shanxi Province indicate that the Luyashan augitemonzonites and Yunzhongshan granites belong to the post-orogenic granite.Zircon grains from the Luyashan augite-diorite yield a SHRIMP U-Pb age of 1 794±13 Ma and zircon grains from the Yunzhong-shan granite a SHRIMP age of 1 801±llMa. Determination of post-orogenic granites at ca.1 800 Ma provides direct evidence for constraints on the ending time of the orogeny at the end of Paleoproterozoie.
