Abstract Early Cretaceous granitic rocks are widely distributed in the Great Xing’an Range, northeast China. However, their precise age and tectonic evolution remain controversial. This study presents new zircon U–Pb, Lu–Hf, and whole-rock geochemical data for the granitic plutons in the Yili area, Xing’an Massif, northern Great Xing’an Range. The aim of this study was to decipher the tectono-thermal history and obtain further understanding of the geodynamic setting of the large-scale Late Mesozoic magmatism in the Great Xing’an Range. Zircon U–Pb age dating indicated that the plutons were emplaced during the Early Cretaceous, with ages of 132.2–130.1 Ma. The plutons showed similar geochemical features, characterized by high concentrations of SiO2 and Na2O + K2O and low concentrations of P2O5, CaO, MgO, and TFe2O3. The plutons were enriched in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements and depleted in heavy earth elements and high-field-strength elements. Such features indicate that the plutons are highly fractionated with I-type granite affinity. These findings, combined with pluton ε Hf(t) values of + 5.25 to + 8.28 and two-stage model ages (t DM2) of 661–855 Ma, indicate that the primary magmas originated from partial melting of juvenile basaltic crustal material accreted during the Neoproterozoic. These results combined with regional geological evolution indicated that the generation of Early Cretaceous plutons in the northern Great Xing’an Range might be closely related to the post-collisional gravitational collapse and subsequent extension resulting from the closure of the Mongolia-Okhotsk Ocean. Their generation also superimposed the back-arc extension resulting from retraction of the Paleo-Pacific subduction plate.
