The basement of North China Craton (NCC) is a research hotspot in the field of Precambrian geology, as it contains a great deal of information about the formation and evolution of continental lithosphere. In this paper, LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and trace element analysis has been carried out on a monzogranite sample from the basement of the Xueye area in Western Shandong, North China. Although no concordia age can be obtained from the 206Pb/238U and 207Pb/235U data of the zircon grains, these data are distributed along a discordant line, the upper intersection of which gives the formation age of the sample (2356Ma). The concentrations of some trace elements, such as U, Yb, Y, Hf, Th and P, in the zircon grains strongly indicate that the sample is a product of continental crust magmatism. Besides, the relative less extent of Eu anomalies as well as the high concentrations of Th and Pb of the zircon grains indicate that the sample does not belong to anorogenic granitoid. Therefore, the monzogranite is orogenic and its formation may be related to continent-continent or ocean-continent collision. As a result, it can be inferred that a rigid continental plate had been formed by early Paleoproterozoic. Zircon grains in this sample have experienced different extent of alteration since their formation. Most of the zircon grains that have been analyzed have experienced serious alteration, which indicates that there has been intense hydrothermal activity in this area since early Paleoproterozoic.
El basamento del Cratón del Norte de China (NCC) es un foco de investigación en el campo de la geología precámbrica, ya que contiene abundante información sobre la formación y evolución de la litosfera continental. En este trabajo se realizó la datación U-Pb de circón LA-ICP-MS y el análisis de elementos traza en una muestra de monzogranito del basamento del área de Xueye, en el oeste de Shandong, norte de China. Aunque no se puede obtener una edad certera a partir de los datos de 206Pb/238U y 207Pb/235U de los granos de circón, estos datos se distribuyen a lo largo de una línea discordante, cuya intersección superior proporciona la edad de formación de la muestra (2356Ma). Las concentraciones de algunos elementos traza, como U, Yb, Y, Hf, Th y P, en los granos de circón indican firmemente que la muestra es producto del magmatismo de la corteza continental. Además, la relativa menor extensión de las anomalías de Eu, así como las altas concentraciones de Th y Pb de los granos de circón, indican que la muestra no pertenece a un granitoide anorogénico. Por lo tanto, el monzogranito es orogénico y su formación puede estar relacionada con la colisión continente-continente u océano-continente. Como resultado, se puede inferir que una placa continental rígida se había formado en el Paleoproterozoico temprano. La mayoría de los granos de circón que se han analizado han experimentado una alteración grave, lo que indica que ha habido una intensa actividad hidrotermal en esta área desde el Paleoproterozoico temprano.
