Paleozoic granites are widely spread in northeastern China, and they are very important for revealing crustal growth. Nevertheless, the study on the Paleozoic granites in east part is relatively weak; therefore, Paleozoic granite research in east pail requires special attention. Zircon U-Pb dating by LA-ICPMS technique indicates that the studied granitic pluton was emplaced during Late Paleozoic (Hercynian) with a weighted age of 262.2 +/- 1.2Ma. Meanwhile, zircon Hf analyses conducted by LA-MC-ICPMS show that this pluton has variational epsilon(Hf) (262Ma) values from 1.35 to 5.62, indicating that the primary magma of the granites mainly resulted from a depleted asthenospheric mantle. In addition, the Hf two-stage modal ages change from 1091Ma to 1357Ma, suggesting an important crustal growth event beneath the studied area.
