摘要
The Sulu （苏鲁）-Dabie （大别） orogen in East-Central China formed during the subduction and collision of the Yangtze block with the North China block in Early Mesozoic （240-225 Ma）. Constraints on the nature and derivation of eclogites, which are a significant component of the orogen, can provide useful information about subduction-zone metamorphism and crust-mantle interaction. The U-Pb ages, Hf-isotope ratios and trace-element compositions of zircons in eclogites from the Jiangzhuang （蒋庄） （Jiangsu （江苏） Province） and Rongcheng （荣成） （Shandong （山东） Province） areas indicate that the protoliths of the eclogites derived from ultramafic-mafic complexes or mafic intrusion in the subducted continental lithosphere. The upper intercept age of 852±10 Ma and high tHf （up to 14.7） of the Neoproterozoic zircons in a Jiangzhuang sample indicate that the protoliths represent products of the Neoproterozoic addition of juvenile materials to the older （i.e., Paleo-Mesoproterozoic） continental crust. The zircon ages of eclogites from both localities mainly record the Triassic （230-220 Ma） metamorphism, consistent with the formation of the Sulu orogen in Early Mesozoic. The lower intercept age of 316±4 Ma in a Jiangzhuang sample suggests that thermal activity relating to the paleo- Tethyan in Late Carboniferous also affected the eclogitic protolith.
