The early Paleozoic orogen in South China Block is an intracontinental orogen, and synchronous magmatism (440–390 Ma) is mainly acidic with minor intermediate-mafic magmatism. Previous studies suggest that most of the early Paleozoic granites in South China belong to peraluminous S-type genesis while amphibole-bearing I-type granites are subordinate. However, our results indicate that considerable amounts of these early Paleozoic granites have characteristics of both S- and I-type granites. Thus, we propose to divide these granites into two groups: fewer of them are Group A with relatively highεHf(t) values (clustering within − 3.0 to + 9.0) andεNd(t) values (− 5.2 to + 1.3) as well as higher initial temperatures at 810–850 °C, and most of them are Group B with relatively lowεHf(t) values (clustering within − 16.0 to − 1.0) andεNd(t) values (− 13.2 to − 4.1) as well as relatively low initial temperatures at 700–830 °C. The Xiawan monzogranite and Duntou granodiorite are typical Group A granitoids and yield zircon U–Pb ages of ca. 410 Ma. These two granites are characterized by high SiO2(between 67.59 and 74.87 wt.%), metaluminous to peraluminous (A/CNK = 0.96–1.48) compositions, and a negative correlation between P2O5and SiO2. Their biotites belong to magnesium biotites, indicating that they have partial features of either I- or S-type granites. Duntou granodiorites exhibit higherεHf(t) values (clustering within + 1 to + 8) andεNd(t) values (− 3.0 to + 1.1) while Xiawan monzogranites show relatively lowεHf(t) values (clustering within − 1 to + 5) andεNd(t) values (− 5.0 to − 3.7). Group B granitoids are represented by the Miao'ershan–Yuechengling batholith, which are characterized by high SiO2(between 64.57 and 77.37 wt.%), metaluminous compositions (A/CNK = 0.90–1.24), and a negative correlation between P2O5and SiO2. Yuechengling porphyritic amphibole-bearing biotite granites in this batholith contain abundant amphibole, indicating that they are I-type granites. Miao'ershan–Yuechengling batholith also exhibits relatively lowεHf(t) values (− 12.7 to − 1.8) andεNd(t) values (− 8.9 to − 6.7).Geochemical and isotopic analyses on early Paleozoic granites, mafic enclaves and mafic to intermediate rocks demonstrate that the Group A granitoids including Xiawan and Duntou granites may be generated by AFC processes with interactions between asthenosphere-derived magma and metasedimentary rocks, and the Group B granitoids may be formed by AFC processes with interactions between synchronous basaltic magma and metamorphic basement. The post-collisional delamination and asthenospheric upwelling directly participate in the generation of Group A granitoids but indirectly induce the formation of Group B granitoids.
