Neoproterozoic foreign low-grade metamorphic slices in the western Beihuaiyang zone of the Dabie orogen and their tectonic significance

Recent field investigations，petrographic observations and zircon U Pb dating results strongly suggest that the Neoproterozoic foreign low grade metamorphic slices in the western Beihuaiyang zone of the Dabie orogen are at least composed of two types of rocks such as meta granite and meta gabbro，which occur as tectonic blocks or slices within the Ordovician metavolcanics of the Dingyuan Formation.These Neoproterozoic low grade rocks experienced epidote amphibolite facies metamorphism and strong structural deformation.Their formation timing is 750～720 Ma for the metagranite and 635 Ma for the metagabbro，respectively.These rocks occur within the metamorphosed Ordovician volcanic zone(originally named the Dingyuan Formation)and are in tectonic contact to each other，but they formed in different tectonic settings.The protolith ages for the Neoproterozoic low grade metaigneous rocks are in good agreement not only with ages for two episodes of mid and late Neoproterozoic mafic and felsic magmatism in the Suizhou and Zaoyang area，Hubei Province，but also agree with protolith ages of ultrahigh pressure metaigneous rocks in the Dabie Sulu orogenic belt.In view of their tectonic relationships to country rocks，it is most likely that these Neoproterozoic low grade rocks are exotic and they might been detached and scraped off from the subducted continental crust of the SCB crust during the initial stage of subduction at the early Triassic，and subsequently exhumed and thrusted over Paleozoic metamorphosed rocks in the southern margin of the North China Block during continental collision.
