Xiatang area is located in the southern margin of the North China Craton, where Paleoproterozoic tectono—thermal events widely occur. This paper reports wholerock geochemistry and zircon ages and Hf isotope compositions of rocks from the early Precambrian basement in the Xiatang area, to understand the early Precambrian magmatism and metamorphism. Methods: Rock geochemical analysis, SHRIMP UPb zircon dating and Hf isotope analysis.Results: wo metasedimentary rock samples of the Upper Taihua Group have the ages of 1.91 ~ 1.93 Ga for metamorphic zircons, and the ages of detrital zircons are difficult to be determined because of strong recrystallization. The εHf(t) and tDM2(CC)(Hf) of the detrital zircons are -0.26 ~ 10.41 and 2.24 ~ 2.96 Ga, respectively. A metagabbroic diorite sample has captured and metamorphic zircons of 2.32 Ga and 1.93 Ga. The captured zircons have εHf(t) values and tDM2(CC)(Hf) ages ranging from -1.79 to 2.22 and 2.70 Ga to 2.94 Ga, respectively. Two gneissic trondhjemite samples have magmatic and metamorphic zircons of 1.93 Ga and 1.92 Ga , the magmatic zircons have εHf(t) values and tDM2(CC)(Hf) ages being -3.30 ~ 1.30 and 2.48 ~ 2.76 Ga, respectively. A gneissic syenogranite sample has magmatic and metamorphic zircons of 1.93 Ga and 1.92 Ga, respectively, with the εHf(t) and tDM2(CC)(Hf) of magmatic zircon being -3.67 ~ 2.40 and 2.42 ~ 2.79 Ga, respectively.Conclusions: Combined with wholerock geochemical compositions and early study, the main conclusions can be drawn as follows: 1) The Upper Taihua Group was formed in early Paleoproterozoic; 2) this study surppots the conclusion that there was ~ 2.3 Ga magmatism in the area; 3) widespread 1.91 ~ 1.93 Ga crustallyderived trondhjemtie and syenogranite are identified; 4) 1.91 ~ 1.94 Ga metamorphism was well developed.
