Abstract: The southern Dabie collisional complex from the Jiangling area, eastern Dabie Mountains, Anhui Province comprises eclogites, mica schists-leptynites and gneisses. These three rock series show different metamorphic evolutional stages and P-T paths: the eclogites have 5 metamorphic stages where the early stages belong to ultra-high and high pressure type and the late stage to medium pressure type, and were probably related to the subduction of a palaeo-oceanic crust; the mica schists-leptynites show 4 metamorphic stages where the early stages belong to high pressure type and the late stage to medium pressure type, and the early high pressure metamorphism was originated from the subduction of the Yangtze continental crust; the gneisses, however, 8re developed only with one stage of metamorphism of medium pressure type, and progbably related to the obducted North China continental crust. These three rock series of different origin were together subjected to the epidote-amphibolite facies metamorphism of medium pressure type alter they were tectonically mixed.
