“…The new structural data have therefore major implications on the tectonic significance of the high‐pressure Heilongjiang Complex in particular the transition from E‐W Pacific‐type tectonic regime to N‐S dominated shortening related to closure of Mongol‐Okhotsk Ocean. Recent papers considered that the docking between the Jiamusi and Songliao blocks occurred during the latest Triassic to early Jurassic (Dong et al, , ; Zhou et al, , ; Zhou & Li, ) or after Late Jurassic (Ge et al, , , ; Zhu et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Sun, Eizenhöfer, Liu, et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Ji, et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Sun, Han, et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Sun, Eizenhöfer, Han, et al, ), by a westward oblique accretion of microblocks and closure of intervening basins related to the Paleo‐Pacific Plate subduction. This tectonic scenario can be modified due to above‐presented results showing a massive D3 N‐S‐directed shortening and associated large scale folding/transposition of subduction wedge.…”

“…The micaschists are strongly foliated and bear mineral paragenesis of quartz‐plagioclase‐biotite‐muscovite‐garnet with local occurrence of amphibole. The proposed protolith for the micaschists is a shale or a mudstone (Cao et al, ; Dong et al, ; Li et al, ; Wu et al, ; Zhou et al, ; Zhu et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Sun, Eizenhöfer, et al, ) with some tuffitic admixture. The quartzite bodies (Figure ) are mainly composed of quartz, stilplomelane, epidote, and spessartine‐rich garnet with a protolith supposingly derived from chert‐type formations (Cao et al, ; Wu et al, ).…”

“…In the Yilan area, different U‐Pb ages on zircon were also carried out to constrain the timing of protolith formation of mafic rocks and range from 281 Ma (Ge et al, ) to 200 Ma (Zhou et al, ). Recently, a metagabbro located near the Yilan city was dated at 256 ± 2 Ma (Dong et al, ), while the U‐Pb ages of detrital zircons from micaschists range from 2512 Ma to 180 Ma (Dong et al, ; Li et al, ; Zhou et al, ). However, recent U‐Pb dating performed on metabasites located in the east of the Yilan area indicates younger 162–141 Ma protolith ages than the previously reported ones (Zhu et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Sun, Eizenhöfer, Liu, et al, ; Zhu, Zhao, Ji, et al, ).…”

The high‐pressure Heilongjiang Complex belongs to a Jurassic accretionary complex in Yilan area, NE China. The complex is located in the junction of three orogenic systems in the NE Asia: the E‐W‐striking Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the N‐S‐striking Paleo‐Pacific system, and the ENE‐WSW‐striking Mongol‐Okhotsk system. Thus, a detailed tectono‐metamorphic analysis coupled with accurate radiometric dating of the Heilongjiang Complex provided in this study represent important evidence for understanding the complex interactions between the three orogenic systems in the Late‐Palaeozoic to Mesozoic. New structural and microstructural data combined with the strain analysis highlight the presence of three distinct deformation events affecting the high‐pressure Heilongjiang Complex. The first deformation event D1 is related to development of blueschist facies prolate to plane strain fabrics that were subsequently reworked by the blueschist‐amphibolite facies event D2 that transposed all previous structures by the main west‐dipping schistosity. This planar fabric was folded by upright F3 folds and heterogeneously reworked by greenschist facies E‐W‐striking vertical cleavage during large scale N‐S shortening. Each deformation event was related to specific strain fabrics and metamorphic conditions highlighting dynamic evolution of the subduction complex during burial, exhumation, and final shortening. The first D1 event is related to westward directed prograde constrictional flow and progressive dismembering of competent mafic, ultramafic layers, and quartzites in highly stretched meta‐sedimentary matrix. This mélange was folded by recumbent detachment folds resulting in emplacement of the exhumed unit progressively reaching amphibolite facies conditions atop of W‐WSW‐dipping channel. This event is associated with dominant flattening implying increasing mechanical coupling between the colliding Songliao and Jiamusi blocks. Subsequently, the accreted subduction complex was reworked during N‐S‐directed horizontal shortening. This event was associated with an important post‐buckle flattening of fold limbs and rotation of competent blocks with inherited D1 and D2 strain ellipsoids along F3 fold axes. Our new 40Ar‐39Ar plateau ages on muscovite and phengite (173–177 Ma), together with previous radiometric data, are interpreted as reflecting exhumation of subduction channel during the blueschist‐amphibolite facies event while the N‐S shortening (D3) probably operated in Late Jurassic as indicated by some previously published cooling ages (~140–160 Ma). The westward‐oriented subduction and exhumation fabrics of the high‐pressure Heilongjiang accretionary complex followed by N‐S‐directed upright folding are interpreted to reflect transition from E‐W Pacific subduction regime to N‐S‐directed shortening related to the closure of the Mongol‐Okhotsk Ocean.

“…The Heilongjiang Complex, a high‐pressure metamorphic belt located along the Jiayin–Mudanjiang Fault (Figure b; Sun et al, ; Wu et al, , ; Zhou et al, ), is composed of blueschist, serpentinite, greenschist, mica schist, quartzite, and locally granulite gneiss (Ge et al, ; Huang, Zhang, Xiong, Wang, & Zhao, ; Wu et al, ; Zhu et al, ). The Heilongjiang Complex is considered to have developed through subduction of the Mudanjiang oceanic plate and provides insights into the evolution and amalgamation of the SM and the JM (Dong et al, ).…”

This paper presents new zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data, and whole‐rock major and trace element geochemical data of Permian igneous rocks from the eastern Songnen Massif (SM) and the western Jiamusi Massif (JM), NE China, to constrain their tectonic evolution. Zircon U–Pb dating indicates that Permian magmatism within the eastern SM can be subdivided into two stages: early Permian (ca. 293 Ma) and middle to late Permian (272–257 Ma). The early Permian igneous rocks comprise a bimodal association of rhyolites, basaltic andesites, and gabbros. The middle to late Permian igneous rocks are dominated by gabbro–diorites, monzodiorites, quartz diorites, monzonites, quartz monzonites, granodiorites, monzogranites, syenogranites, and alkali feldspar granites, along with minor bodies of A‐type quartz trachytes. The Permian felsic magmas originated mainly from partial melting of a relatively juvenile lower crust, whereas the coeval mafic rocks were probably derived from partial melting of a relatively depleted lithospheric mantle that was modified by fossil subduction‐related fluids. The igneous rock associations and their geochemical features, together with data from coeval sedimentary and volcanosedimentary successions, indicate that Permian magmatism within the eastern Songnen and western Jiamusi massifs formed in an extensional environment, similar to a back‐arc setting, related to westward subduction of a Palaeo‐oceanic plate beneath the eastern margin of the Jiamusi Massif. We find no evidence for double‐sided subduction of the Mudanjiang oceanic plate during the Permian.

The Heilongjiang Complex records the evolution history of the Mudanjiang Ocean, which is of great significance to constrain the amalgamation process of the Jiamusi and Songnen‐Zhangguangcai Range massifs. We carried out petrological, chronological, geochemical, mineral chemical and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) fabric analyses on the Heilongjiang Complex in the Yilan area. The latest zircon U–Pb dating results show that the protolith ages of the amphibolite are 261.3 ± 3.0 Ma and 261.8 ± 3.3 Ma, while that of the granodioritic mylonite is 207.8 ± 2.2 Ma. The amphibolites and granodioritic mylonite are enriched in large‐ion lithophile elements (e.g., Rb, Ba, and Sr) and light rare earth elements, with depletion in high‐field‐ strength elements (e.g., Nb, Ta, Zr, and Hf), indicating that the formation of the protoliths of the amphibolites and granodioritic mylonite is related to the subduction of the Mudanjiang oceanic plate under the Songnen‐Zhangguangcai Range Massif. The amphibolites and granodioritic mylonite both experienced two periods of metamorphic and deformation events. The metamorphic degree of the early period of metamorphism is low amphibolite facies, which records a clockwise P–T path from early increased temperature and pressure to a late isothermal depressurization. The P–T path reveals that this period of metamorphism is associated with the collision between two massifs. The later period of metamorphism reaches low greenschist facies, accompanied by deformation, which may be related to the rapid exhumation of the Heilongjiang Complex. This study provides a new perspective for exploring the collision and collage process of the Jiamusi and Songnen‐Zhangguangcai Range massifs.
