Abstract
The Jijiquan plution in the eastern section of Beishan Orogenic Belt consists of gabbro and diabase. The zircon LA-ICP-MS dating has obtained an age of (274.1±5.3) Ma, which reveals that this pluton was formed in Early Permian. The geochemical data shows that these rocks have low SiO2 content, relatively high Al2O3 and CaO content as well as Mg# value, low total REE contents, no obvious fraction of LREE and HREE, weak positive Eu anomly, enrichment of LILE and depletion of HFSE. The geochemical features indicate that the magma was formed by the partial melting of depleted mantle, which was suffered the crust contamination in the magma rising process. After analyzing the regional geological background, it is considered that the Jijiquan pluton was formed at an intraplate extensional tectonic setting.
