辽东半岛位于华北克拉通东部、苏鲁超高压造山带的北部(图1(a)).该区分布着大面积的花岗岩类侵入体(图1(b)),经过我们近几年的锆石U-Pb年代学详细研究表明,它们主要形成于侏罗纪(180～153 Ma)和早白垩世(131～118 Ma)(吴福元等,2005;Wu et al.,2005a,b;Yang et al.,2004a,2006,2007).……
Lithospheric removal and destruction of the North China Craton have been hotly discussed recently. It has been confirmed that the timing of a strong lithospheric removal took place in Late Mesozoic; however, little is known about when the lithospheric removal was initiated and how the Late Permian to Early Triassic deep subduction of Yangtze continental crust affected the cratonic destruction. This paper presents an overview on the temporal and spatial framework and geochemical characteristics of the Triassic intrusive rocks in the eastern North China Craton and use these data to trace their sources and petrogenetic processes, in order to constrain the tectonic setting in which they evolved. It is concluded that the destruction of the North China Craton was initiated in the Late Triassic and induced by delamination of the thickened continental crust by deep subduction of Yangtze continental crust and continent-continent collision. This suggests that the subduction of the continental crust and continent-continent collision are possibly interpreted as the inducement of Late Mesozoic decratonization of the North China Craton.
