In recent decades, the Yanshanian movement in the Mesozoic has been a hotspot of much geological research, attracting numerous studies focusing on regional tectonics, basin evolution, and associated magmatism and volcanic activities. The Haifanggou Formation, exposed in Xingcheng Basin, which is one of intracontinental basins in western Liaoning Province, North China Craton (NCC), comprises mainly conglomerates dominated with interbedded sandstone. Although palaeontology, stratigraphy and lithofacies have been established, its mineralogical compositions and geochronology, even the provenance and implications for Yanshanian movement are still poorly discussed. Available sandstone samples provided a unique opportunity to study the genesis and further deciphered the tectonic mechanisms. The sandstone types of Haifanggou Formation are dominantly litho‐feldspathic litharenite and litharenite. Modal sandstone analysis shows that the origin and deposition mainly are due to arid to semi‐arid weathering and recycling of older rocks and magmatic arcs, eroded and transported debris from eastern NCC. Our new detrital zircon U–Pb ages exhibit that the maximum depositional ages of the Haifanggou Formation were conservatively estimated as late Middle Jurassic (165.6 ± 3.1 Ma). The detrital zircon U–Pb age spectrum of this formation is dominated by several peaks that indicate a provenance from the surrounding rocks including the basement of NCC. The sedimentation of the Haifanggou Formation is deposited under compressional tectonics as a local response of the Yanshanian movement which was related to the subduction of Palaeo‐Pacific Plate.

“…Various types of Mesozoic intrusive rocks were exposed in the study area, most of which were Late Jurassic granites, and minors formed in Late Triassic and Early Cretaceous ( Figure 2). The Neoarchean granitic rocks are exposed in the middle part of the study area among the Mesozoic granites as giant xenoliths, mainly composed of granitic gneiss and biotite-plagioclase gneiss [17,28,48,49]. The Late Triassic and Early Cretaceous rocks are mainly porphyritic granitic gneiss and some light colored dikes of granites, respectively.…”

“…The Late Jurassic adamellites, which are granites rich in plagioclases and K-feldspars, are the largest intrusive magmatic rocks in the northern and southern sectors of the study area, and some dikes of biotite adamellites intrude the Neoarchean granite gneisses. These rocks show a massive structure in the south and a gneissic structure with shear fabrics in the north [28].…”

The Yanshan Movement occurred mainly during the Middle-Late Jurassic, and gave rise to NE trending structures, magmatic events, volcanism and mineral resources. The transformation and evolution of the movement during the Middle-Late Jurassic were investigated from the rock assemblage, geochemistry, and chronology in adamellites which were exposed in the Xingcheng area, western Liaoning. Two types of adamellites were recognized—biotite adamellites with the formation age of 172–168 Ma and garnet-bearing adamellites of 158–152 Ma. All the samples of the two types of adamellites displayed enriched characteristics with high content of SiO2 (66.86–75.55 wt.%) and total alkali (Na2O + K2O = 7.56–8.71 wt.%), high large ion lithophile element (LILE: K, Rb, Sr), and low high field strength element (HFSE: Ce, Ta, P, Ti). The biotite adamellites belong to metaluminous-peraluminous I-type granites, and show volcanic arc granite characteristics, and were formed by partial melting of the ancient crust in the compressional setting that resulting from the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the north margin of the North China Craton (NCC). The garnet-bearing adamellites are also metaluminous-peraluminous I-type granites, with characteristics of both the compressional and extensional regimes, which were formed at the middle-late stages of the continuing subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate, while simultaneously, the frontal side of the subduction slab began to roll back, leading to an extensional environment. Combining with regional geophysical studies and our petrological and geochemical studies, we propose that the eastern segment of the northern margin of NCC may have been controlled by the Paleo-Pacific tectonic domain at the latest in the Middle Jurassic, while the initiation of the tectonic regime from a compressional to an extensional environment was during the Late Jurassic (158–152 Ma) as a response of the Yanshan Movement. Simultaneously, geochronological statistics of the ore deposits in western Liaoning show that the Mesozoic endogenetic metalliferous deposits formed in a compressive environment influenced by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate, similar to the magma events in ages, and the magmatism provided the thermodynamic condition and the source of metallogenic hydrothermal fluid for mineralization.

“…Finite strain measurements are used to determine the magnitude and orientation of the strain ellipsoid and deformation regime, and it is an indispensable part of the modern structural geological and rheological research (Bailey & Eyster, ; Li et al, 2017; C. Y. Liang, Liu, Meng, et al, ; C. Liang, Liu, Neubauer, Bernroider, et al, ; C. Liang, Liu, Neubauer, Jin, et al, ; Zheng & Chang, ). Regarding to the strain measurements, a lot of methods can be chosen such as Fry's method, long–short axis, ellipse of inertia, R f /φ, Elliott's method, and neighbour centre‐to‐centre method (Ramsay, ; Shao, Liu, Jia, Li, & Jin, ; Zheng & Chang, ).…”

The study on deformation characters of the Liaohe Group, exposed in eastern Liaoning Province, NE China, provides a key constraint on the tectonic evolution of the Palaeoproterozoic Liao–Ji active belt in the eastern part of the North China Craton (NCC). In this paper, the deformation pattern and mechanism of the Dashiqiao Fm. from Liaohe Group in Hupiyu area have been systematically studied. The present results show that the structure of the investigated Dashiqiao Fm. exhibits a SW bedding‐parallel thrust shearing which is dominated by simple shearing. Simultaneously, S‐SL tectonites were formed under directional flattening. The deformed quartz grains show obvious dislocation slip which is mainly controlled by the low temperature system of the basal slip system, while calcites mainly develop in low temperature with twin slip. Based on microstructural analysis coupled with fabric features, we estimated that the strain rate is 10−12.78–10−8.32 s−1 under the deformation temperature of 350–400°C with a differential stress of 27.3–44.9 MPa. Our macrostructural–microstructural investigation together with previous researches indicates that the Liaohe Group suffered a bedding‐parallel sliding with top‐to‐outside away from the granite body in the core of Hupiyu anticline, corresponding to the uplift of the Hupiyu granite in the early extensional stage. Subsequently, the Hupiyu area suffered SW–NE compression which resulted in the overturn of the southern limb of the Hupiyu anticline and the top‐to‐SW thrusting.
