Abstract��

The Caozhuang area of Xingcheng in southwestern Mesozoic Fuxin- -Yixian basin��western Liaon- ing��belongs to“the Mesozoic Jinxi- - Jinzhou- - Fuxin- - Yixian volcanic eruptive belt”�� The strata mainly volcanic in composition in the Caozhuang area should be grouped into Yixian Formation through the section measuring and large scaled investigation in this area��and can be further divided into three members from in ascending order�� The lower member (K 1 y 1 ) consists of glutenite and intermediate��intermediate- basic volcanic rocks�� The middle member (K 1 y 2 ) consists of lacustrine sediments and intermediate volcanic rocks��and the upper member (K 1 y 3 ) consists of intermediate and meta- alkaline volcanic rocks�� LA -ICP - -MS zircon U -Pb dating of the volcanic and pyroclastic rocks of the Jianshan section reveals that the K 1 y 1 and K 1 y 2 were formed in 131. 5 ±1. 4 Ma and 129. 2 ±1. 0 Ma�� respectively�� The weighted mean age of the intrusive trachyandesite in K 1 y 1 is 126. 0 ±1. 2 Ma��consistent with the age obtained from the type section of Yixian Fomation in Fuxin - Yixian basin�� Taking the correlation with the volcanic- sedimentary sequences��we propose that the Yixian Formation in Caozhuang area can be regarded as the lower and middle Yixian Formation in the type section��with missing its upper part in the Caozhuang area��indicating that the center of volcanic eruption was closer to the Fuxin - - Yixian basin at that time��
