Abstract
Mesozoic volcanic rocks are widespread throughout the Great Xing’an range, NE China. Their ages formed from about 180 Ma to 120 Ma, with a strong peak about 125 Ma, and several weak peaks at ∼116 Ma, ∼140 Ma and ∼156 Ma respectively in age histogram. These complicated age spectrum points out that the volcanism may be related not only with the subduction of the Pacific plate, but also with closure of the Okhotsk ocean.

The volcanic rocks from the southern Great Xinggan range change from calc-alkaline to shoshonite in rock series, they are characterized by significant large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE) enrichment and high field strength elements (HFSE) depletion, with a slightly enriched to depleted Nd–Hf and weakly enriched Sr isotopic compositions
The Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopic data of basalts indicate that the magmatic sources are heterogeneous, showing an enriched to depleted signature of continental lithospheric mantle
