Abstract:Three episodes of intrusive magmatic activities occurred at the Hupiyu area of Yingkou in Liaoning province during the Paleoproterozoic. The early Hupiyu Liaoji granite emplacing in 2123±17 Ma is characterized by rich Si and alkali, low Ca, and negative Eu anomaly, suggesting its geochemical features similar to that of Atype granite. Extremely low Sr and high Yb indicate that the granite formed in a lowpressure crust thinning setting. The secondepisode Housongshugou granodiorite forming in 1892±16 Ma is high in SiO2, Na2O, Al2O3, with the value of Na2O/K2O greater than 1.3, no or positive Eu anomaly, indicating that it is similar to adakitic rocks. Lowhigh Sr and low Yb suggest that the granidiorite formed in a high pressure setting with great depth, probably related to the partial melting of underplating basaltic magma in the postcollisional thickening crust setting. The Nantaizi quartz monzonite at the late stage formed in 1851±11 Ma, and has high alkali (Na2O+K2O=11.32%~11.93%) and Rittmann index of 662~705, indicating that the magma was the product of the intracontinental extension after the orogeny. Low Sr and Yb also indicate the middle pressure and a depth of 40~50 km. Three magmatic events mentioned above have a significant indication for tectonic evolution of Liaoji Paleoproterozoic active belt: the early Liaoji granite possibly formed in the back arc extentional setting of Liaoji Paleoproterozoic active belt; the Housongshugou granodiorites were the product of thickened crust after later Paleoproterozoic collision; and the Nantaizi quartz monzonite belongs to the postorogenic granite which marks completion of cratonization in the Liaodong area and beginning of the postorogenic extension evolution.
