Abstract: BIFs have spatial and temporal association with their basaltic volcanic wall rocks in Benxi area of Liaoning Province. Through an analysis on the HFSE (high field-strength element)characteristics of basaltic volcanic wall rocks around BIFs, it was found that their w○Nb/w○Ta ratios (7.00~19.93) were remarkably fractionated, but the fractionation of w○Zr/w○Hf ratios (33.46~38.28) was not so obvious. In addition, the fractionation of w○Nb/w○Ta ratios had regional tendency from Gongchangling to Nanfen and Waitoushan. These migration and fractionation characteristics of HFSE showed a connection between basin evolution and subduction process. Their (w○Nb/w○Yb)N ratios (1.21~18.45, average 2.72) were greater than 1, further suggesting that the tectonic setting for BIFs in the studied area was an intra-continental back arc basin.

Key words: Benxi area, BIF, basaltic volcanic wall rock, HFSE (high field-strength element), intra-continental back arc basin
