The Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt (JLJB), situated between the Longgang Block and Nangrim Block, hosts extensive Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary-volcanic sequences of the Liaohe Group. There has always been controversy over the stratigraphic relationships between the various formations of the Liaohe Group and the tectonic evolution of the JLJB.Methods: Field investigations, petrology, zircon U-Pb dating, and whole-rock geochemistry.The mafic rocks from the Lieryu Formation comprises gabbro and amphibolites.
Keywords: Paleoproterozoic mafic rocks, Lieryu Formation, Zircon U-Pb chronology, geochemistry, feature of source; tectonic background
