The Fuping Complex is one of the important basement terranes within the central segment of the Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO) where mafic granulites are exposed as boudins within tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) gneisses. Garnet in these granulites shows compositional zoning with homogeneous cores formed in the peak metamorphic stage, surrounded by thin rims with an increase in almandine and decrease in grossular contents suggesting retrograde decompression and cooling. Petrological and phase equilibria studies including pseudosection calculation using thermocalc define a clockwise P-T path. The peak mineral assemblages comprise garnet+clinopyroxene+amphibole+quartz+plagioclase+K-feldspar+ilmenite +/- orthopyroxene +/- magnetite, with metamorphic P-T conditions estimated at 8.2-9.2kbar, 870-882 degrees C (15FP-02), 9.6-11.3kbar, 855-870 degrees C (15FP-03) and 9.7-10.5kbar, 880-900 degrees C (15FP-06) respectively. The pseudosections for the subsequent retrograde stages based on relatively higher H2O contents from P/T-M(H2O) diagrams define the retrograde P-T conditions of <6.1kbar, <795 degrees C (15FP-02), 5.6-5.8kbar, <795 degrees C (15FP-03), and <9kbar, <865 degrees C (15FP-06) respectively. Data from LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating show that the mafic dyke protoliths of the granulite were emplaced at c. 2327Ma. The metamorphic zircon shows two groups of ages at 1.96-1.90Ga (peak at 1.93-1.92Ga) and 1.89-1.80Ga (peak at 1.86-1.83Ga), consistent with the two metamorphic events widely reported from different segments of the TNCO. The 1.93-1.92Ga ages are considered to date the peak granulite facies metamorphism, whereas the 1.86-1.83Ga ages are correlated with the retrograde event. Thus, the collisional assembly of the major crustal blocks in the North China Craton (NCC) might have occurred during 1.93-1.90Ga, marking the final cratonization of the NCC.
