The alkalic-monzonite granite （105.9±1.3 Ma） and monzogranite （102.6±1.1 Ma） are characterized by high SiO2 （73.5%-77.7%）, KzO＋Na20 （6.9%-8.5%）, Ga/AI ratios （2.6-3.4） and low A1203 （11.8%-14.5%）, CaO （0.25%-1.5%）, MgO （0.18%-0.69%）, negative Ba, Sr and Eu anomalies, showing A-type granite affinities.
