The Huashan granitic batholith in Xiongershan area, western Henan, is composed of three granitic bodies, i.e. Wancun biotite moyite-adamellite，Haoping amphibole-biotite adamellite and Jinshanmiao moyite. Being a product of Yanshanian intracontinental compression-subduction on the southern margin of the North China platform, the batholith was formed by remelting of the crystalline basement of this area (metamorphic rocks of Arcbean Taihua Group) under appropriate P-T conditions. The early stage Wancun granitic body represents the average composition of the remelted magma, whereas the late stage Jinshanmiao body might have been formed by crystallization differentiation of the middle stage Haoping granite body. Various stages of rock bodies making up the Huashan granitic batholith are comparable with I-type granites proposed by Chappell(1974) or South China syntectic granites in mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry and stable isotope composition, but are obviously different from the South China transformation type granites proposed by Xu Keqin et al.(1984) in spite of their similarity in petrogenic style. This is because the source rocks of the Huashan batholith are metamorphosed intermediate-basic volcanic rocks, suggesting that characteristics of granites formed by crustal anatexis depend to considerable extent on properties of source rocks. It is therefove concluded that in genetic classification of granites, their geological settings, properties of their source rocks and their petrogenic styles should be considered synthetically.
