Abstract:Magmatism plays an important role in rebuilding evolutionary history of orogenic belts. This paper presents a systematic study of petrology,geochemistry and geochronology on the Lüliangshan granite pluton at west segment of the North Qaidam ultrahigh pressure metamorphic belt. The results show that the Lüliangshan pluton is a composite granite pluton formed in three magma periods in response to continental crust subduction,exhumation and mountain collapse. The first period (436-430 Ma) formed mainly small scale porphyry granodiorite,which is partial melting products of thickened mafic lower crust during continental subduction. The second period (400-390 Ma) formed tonalite and minor synogranite and monzonitic granite,which are partial melting products of exhumed eclogite-bearing ultrahigh pressure metamorphic terrane and lower continental crust during post-collisional extension. The third period (365-360 Ma) formed large scale two-mica granite,with strong peraluminous S-type granite geochemical characteristics and is partial melting products of metapelite during orogen unrooting and collapse.
