Abstract:The Jecheon granitoids, having an elongated shape of NE-SW 27 km and NW-SE 13 km (190 km 2 ), are composed mostly of magnetite-series hornblende-biotite granodiorite and biotite granite, which intrude into the Neoproterozoic metamorphic and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of the Ogcheon Belt. The granitoids have Triassic-Jurassic age of 202.7 ± 1.9 Ma with very high 87 Sr/ 86 Sr initial ratio of 0.7140. The granodiorite has 63-69 % SiO 2 , 15.1-17.3 % Al 2 O 3 , <1.6 % MgO, 6-15 ppm Y and Sr/Y ratios of 24-76, and is depleted in HREE. Biotite granite together, the Jecheon pluton has adakitic characteristics, which are unique in a continental tectonic setting. The granitoids may have been generated by partial melting of an older adakitic granitoid of I-type basement, or by separation of early crystallized garnet and hornblende from an anatectic melt.
