Аннотация:The Heihe–Nenjiang suture zone, which is one of the major sutures in the eastern Central Asian
Orogenic Belt, occurs between the Xing’an and Songnen–Zhangguangcai Range massifs and
extends from southern Mongolia via northeastern China into eastern Russia. The amalgamation
history of these massifs is controversial, especially for that during the late Paleozoic. Here we
report whole-rock geochemical and zircon U–Pb geochronological data for two granite intrusions
in the northeastern Heihe–Nenjiang suture zone with the aim of constraining the emplacement
timing and their tectonic setting. In addition, combined with our previously published data for
the Russian part of this suture zone, we compare tectonic processes between the two regions. We
identified two monzogranites dated at 313 ± 3 and 307 ±3 Ma, and a hornblende–biotite granite
dated at 306 ± 2 Ma. The ca. 313 Ma and ca. 307 Ma monzogranites contain annite and have
geochemical affinity to A2-type granites. The geochemistry of the ca. 306 Ma hornblende–biotite
granite, and the presence of edenite, pargasite, and siderophyllite, indicate it is an I-type granite.
These late Carboniferous A2- and I-type granites in the Russian part of the Heihe–Nenjiang
suture zone formed during a 313–295 Ma magmatic event, which include 306 ± 4 Ma
monzogranites, 301 ± 4 Ma rhyolites, and 295 ± 4 Ma plagiogranites with an adakitic signature.
These rocks are all related to the post-collisional extension setting after the amalgamation of the
Xing’an and Songnen–Zhangguangcai Range massifs.
