Abstract
Five metamorphic intermediate-acid intrusive rock bodies in Proterozoic have been identified in the central Qimantage by the 1∶50000 mineral prospect survey. The intermediate-acid intrusive rock bodies located in amphibolite facies the volcanic-sedimentary rocks are gray-pale flesh red two-feldspar gneiss with eye-shaped. The two-feldspar granites are their original rocks. Zircon U-Pb age is of 832±12 Ma on average, which are known the oldest intermediate-acid intrusive magma products. Geochemistry of rocks is as follows: high K2O (4.92—5.76×10-2), poor FeO, MgO, and CaO. Rocks with high-K are calc-alkaline S-type high-evolution granites that were formed about 34.7 km in crustal thickness. Tectonic setting is shown sys-collision by R1-R2 discriminant diagrams. Rodinia continent closed at about 830 Ma in the East Kunlun. Intermediate-acid magma action reproduced in early Paleozoic. In this process Rodinia breakup and plates in low latitudes moved to high-latitude. The discovery is important to know the structure evolution of early Paleozoic in East Kunlun.
