    Abstract: According to the rock composition, occurrence, textures, emplacement mechanism and geochemical characteristics, the Yanshanian granitoids in the Dabie UHP metamorphic belt may be classified into two major types: the high-K calc-alkaline series and the normal calc-alkaline series. The high-K calc-alkaline series is represented by the Datong rock body and the early-stage and main-stage Sikongshan rock bodies and composed lithologically of granodiorite-monzogranite. The chemical composition is characterized by SiO2 >56%, Al2O3≥14%, MgO <3%, high Sr and Ba contents, enrichment in LREE, strong depletion in HREE, high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios (≥30 and ≥39, respectively), low Y(<18×10-6) and Yb (<1.9×10-6) contents, and indistinct Eu and Sr negative anomalies. These characteristics are similar to those of adakite. The normal calc-alkaline series is represented by the Yingshanjian rock body, consisting dominantly of monzogranite. It is characterized by high SiO2 (>70%), low Al2O3 (<14%), low Sr and Ba contents, low Sr/Y (<10) and La/Yb (<10) ratios, high Y (>18×10-6) and Yb (>1.9×10-6) contents, depletion in LREE, enrichment in HREE, and pronounced negative Sr and Eu anomalies. The high-K calc-alkaline granites might be derived by partial melting of the thickened lower crust, while the normal calc-alkalis granites probably originated by anatexis of the normal crust.
