Abstract

Based on the new data from some recent studies,the granitic batholith in Buyant area in the western part of northern margin of North China platform is composed of 4 granitic intrusive bodies of the Late Permian and the Late Triassic Period,with the emplacement age of 261 Ma±1.3 Ma,220.9 Ma±0.3 Ma and 204.9 Ma±5.9 Ma respectively.The intrusive rocks consist of biotite granodiorite,porphyritic biotite granite and two-mica granite.Late Permian biotite granodiorite is characterized by mean Na2O/K2O ratio of 2.06,mean A /CNK contents of 1.03 and mean σ contents of 1.9,belonging to calc-alkaline series.The Late Triassic granite has an average Na2O/K2O ratio of 0.82,mean A /CNK contents of 1.03 and mean σ contents of 2.18,belonging to calc-alkaline series.Petrochemical plots for diagnosing tectonic environments of rocks indicated that the Late Permian biotite granodiorite and the Late Triassic biotite granite were a series of island arc dioritoid and granitoid formed in the process of subduction.However,the Late Triassic two-mica granite was post-orogenic continental granitoid.
