Abstract:In order to know characteristics of ore forming materials at the beginning of basin deposition, sedimentation characteristics, material compositon, and detrital zircon U-Pb isotope age of Zhifengzhuang formation in early Crataceous in eastern Jiaolai basin have been studied. As showed by field survey results, Zhifenghzuang formation belongs to the land sources clastic deposition and has the characteristics of proximal deposition. Detrital zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb isotope age of clastic rocks in lower part of Zhifengzhuang formation in Nanbo area is 233~734Ma. Isotope ages distributed in five groups and showed an obvious curtain type characteristics. It at least recorded two tectonic thermal events. Zircon U-Pb weighted average age of adamellite intruded in Zhifengzhuang formation is (123.05±0.95)Ma. It delimits the upper age limit of Zhifengzhuang formation to123.50Ma. According to comprehensive analysis, material source of Zhifengzhuang formation mainly came from Sulu orogenic belt, and partly from Yangzi palte. It is helpful for understanding geological circumstance in material source area at the beginning of sedimentary age in Jiaolai basin.
