AbstractAmphibolites occur in a number of localities in the Cathaysia Block, some of them have been migmatised and their protoliths represent basaltic magmas erupted in various tectonic settings. Four migmatised amphibolites were collected from Jiangxi and Fujian Provinces. Cathodo-luminescence images of zircons extracted from the representative amphibolites show unzoned or sector-zoned structure. LA-ICP-MS analysis indicates that most zircons have high Th/U ratios and yield U-Pb zircon ages of 446. ± 5, 435. ± 2, 434. ± 4 and 423. ± 2. Ma, respectively. Lu-Hf isotopic analysis on these zircons gives Hf model ages ranging from 900 to 1200. Ma. Based on lithological observations and previously published geochronological data, we interpret that these U-Pb ages record an important tectonothermal event that led to the migmatization. This early Paleozoic (Caledonian) tectonothermal event in the Southeastern China has a great tectonic implication for the evolutionary history of the Cathaysia Block. © 2010 International Association for Gondwana Research.
