    • Current understanding remains limited regarding the formation age, petrological composition, genetic mechanisms, and tectonic evolution of the granite encountered in the Baoyunting buried hill within the East China Sea basin. This study presents an integrated zircon U-Pb geochronological and petrogeochemical investigation on granites from two key exploration wells in the Baoyunting area. The objectives are to determine the petrogenesis and deep-seated geodynamic setting of these granites, and to further unravel their formation and evolution processes. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating reveals crystallization ages of 106.9-108.8 Ma for the Baoyunting granites, while the overlying pyroclastic rocks yield younger ages of 35.9-41.3 Ma. The granitic pluton primarily comprises granite and granodiorite, exhibiting geochemical affinities to high-Sr/Y granites or adakitic rocks. Combined petrological and geochemical evidence suggests that the Baoyunting granites originated from partial melting of basaltic rocks within a thickened lower crust during the Early Cretaceous. Integrating the results with regional multidisciplinary data, it proposes that these granites formed in a tectonic setting associated with the Paleo-Pacific Plate slab rollback during the late Early Cretaceous. The evolution of the Baoyunting granite buried hill involved three distinct stages: (1) pluton emplacement, (2) uplift-denudation, and (3) subsidence.
