Abstract:The formation, composition and evolution of the oldest continental crust is the logical starting point for discussing the differentiation and development of the crustmantle system of the Earth. However, the rarity of preserved ancient continental crust due to its longterm reworking make this research extremely challenging. Fuchsite quartzite with abundant 3. 4~3. 8 Ga detrital zircons have been discovered in early study in the Labashan area, Lulong, which is very similar in rock feature and detrital zircon age distribution to that in the Huangbaiyu area, Qian’an. This study carried out SHRIMP U- Pb dating on zircons from metasedimentary rocks associated with fuchsite quartzite in the Labashan area. Ninetyfour analyses on zircons from biotite plagioclase gneiss (J2006) reveal that detrital zircons commonly show strong lead loss with data being mainly distributed along two discordant lines with upper intercept ages of 3. 8 Ga and 3. 45 Ga. An age of 3. 08 Ga was obtained for metamorphic zircons. In feldspar quartzite (J2009) for which 68 analyses have been finished, six detrital zircons of 3. 92~4. 0 Ga have been identified together with abundant 3. 4~3. 8 Ga detrital zircons. The discovery of early Eoarchean to Hadean detrital zircons assuredly indicates that the North China Craton has a longterm history of formation and evolution up to 4. 0 Ga. The 3. 1~3. 4 Ga CaozhuangLabashan rock series defined in this study is mainly composed of metasedimentary rocks and metamafic to ultramafic rocks, suggesting an environment of plumecontinental crust interaction. In terms of the shape features of detrital zircons and the different age distribution of abundant ancient detrital zircons from different samples, it is speculated that the source region from which the detrital materials were derived is at short range and in a large scale, and contains multiple granitic magmatism at the periods of 3. 92~4. 0 Ga, 3. 8 Ga, 3. 6~3. 7 Ga and 3. 4~3. 45 Ga, respectively.
