Abstract:The metamorphosed and deformed tonalites are distinguished from the Archaean metamorphic strata (Jiaodong Group) by geological mapping(maP scale 1:50000)in the Qixia area. In this paper the authors discuss their characteristics in terms of geology, petrology, petrochemistry, REE and U Pb isotopic age. They intrude into the Jiaodong Group and involved in two stages of magmatism at 2.8 Ga and 2.6 Ga, respectively according to their isotopic ages. The tonalites are first identified in eastern Shandong, which i...
