It has long been debated that the Dabie orogenic belt belongs to the North China or Yangtze cratons. In re-cent years, the eastern China has been suggested, based on the Pb isotopic compositions of Phanerozoic ore and Mesozoic granitoid K-feldspar (revealing the crust Pb) combined with Meso-Cenozoic basalts (revealing the mantle Pb) , being divided into North China and Yangtze Pb isotopic provinces, where the crust and mantle of the Yangtze craton are characterized by more radiogenic Pb. In this sense, the previous researchers suggested that the EW-treading Dabie orogenic belt with less radiogenic Pb in the crust was part of North China craton. In this paper, however, the Late Cretaceous basalts in the central and southern parts of Dabie orogenic belt are characterized by some more radiogenic Pb (206Pb/204Pb = 17. 936 - 18. 349, 207Pb/204Pb =15. 500-15. 688, 208Pb/204Pb=38. 399 - 38. 775) and a unique U-Th-Pb trace element system similar to those of Yangtze craton, showing that the Mesozoic mantle is Yangtze-typed. In addition, the decoupled Pb isotopic compositions be-tween crust and mantle were considerably derived from their rheological inhomogeneity, implying the complicat-ed evolutions of the Dabie orogenic belt.
