Abstract:The Hercynian-Indosinian granitoids in Hongshishan area of the Beishan orogenic belt belong to the calc-alkaline series and have characteristics of is land-arc granitoids. A study of their petrochemical, geochemical and Nd-isotopic characteristics shows that they have the characteristics of “adakite”These rocks have the following characteristics: SiO2>56%,Al2O3≥15%,Na2O and Sr are high, MgO<3%, Mg#=30.71~59.13, Sr/Y=19.71~72.86, Y<18×10-6(6.0×10-6~14.7×10-6); no Eu anomaly or only weak negative Eu anomaly can be observed; REE distribution patterns show strong REE segregation and belong to the type of enriched LREE; and there exist very prominent negative Nbanomaly and obvious positive Sr anomaly in the trace element spidergram εNd(t) values are positive [εNd(t)=4.09~5.67], major samples fallinto the area of adakite on (La/Yb)N-YbN and Sr/Y-Y diagrams Therefore, the discovery of the adakitic rock has great significance in the study of Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution and geodynamics and the search for ore deposits in the Beishan orogenic belt of Gansu Province
