Abstract: To better understand the petrogenesis, tectonic environment, and geological significance of the lamprophyres in Qingchengzi, Liaodong. Zircon U-Pb dating and major elements were studied by LA-ICP-MS U-Pb and X-ray fluorescence spectrometers. Results show that characteristics of the lamprophyres have low silicon and high ferrum and magnesium. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating yields ages of (226.0±1.0)Ma~(227.7±1.3)Ma, which indicate lamprophyres are the product of late Indosinian magmatism in North China Craton(NCC). Combined with regional tectonic evolution, results indicate that the lamprophyreas originated from slab break-off during the process of Yangtze Craton and North China Craton continental deep subduction. The deep subduction of Yangtze continental crust and continent-continent collision could be the main reason for the late Mesozoic decratonization of the North China Craton.
