Abstract:

      The Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt is tectonically situated in the northeastern margin of the Yangtze Block. This belt is mostly underlain by granitic gneisses (over 80%), and minor eclogites occur as pods or layers within them. The protoliths of the granitic gneisses and eclogites correspond to acidic and basic igneous rocks, respectively, and both of them are of Neoproterozoic ages. In this paper, the protolith assemblages and geochemical characteristics of these metamorphic rocks are systematically compared with those of the Late Mesozoic igneous rock associations in the coastal area of Zhejiang and Fujian Provinces.
