Geochronology, geochemistry, and Hf isotopes of Jurassic intermediate-acidic intrusions in the Xing’an Block, northeastern China: Petrogenesis and implications for subduction of the Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate

Zircon U–Pb dating, whole-rock geochemistry, Hf isotopic compositions, and regional geological observations of Jurassic intermediate-acidic intrusions in the Xing’an Block, northeastern China, are presented to constrain their petrogenesis and the tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean. Zircon U–Pb age dating indicates that the intrusions were emplaced in three stages: during the Early Jurassic (180–177 Ma), Middle Jurassic (171–170 Ma),...
