In this proposal, basement rocks of the Douling Group, Neoproterozoic dioritic rocks, Paleozoic granitoids and low-grade metamorphosed sedimentary cover rocks exposed along the northern margin of the South Qiling terrain are chosen for study. On the basis chiefly of precise zircon ages and isotope geochemistic data,we shall place contraints on formation and metamorphic history of basement rocks, emplacement time and genesis of Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic magmatic rocks, and material sources and record of magmatism in detrital zircons of sedimentary cover rocks. A geochronological framge of the magmatic activities in the northern margin of South Qinling and their tectonic settings since the Neoproterozoic time can be constituted for reconstruction of the crustal evolution in this terrain. In the run of the study,three key issues about the crustal evolution of South Qinling will be emphasized, i.e., magmatic events and geological implication recorded in basement rocks, the Neoproterozoic magmatism and its relationship with the superconitinent, and genetic relationship between the Paleozoic magmatism and the formation and evolution of the North Qinling orogen. A comparison study will be done on magmatic rocks forming in different periods in both the North and South Qinling terrains for further understanding crustal evolution of the basements since the Neoproterozoic time in the Qinling orogenic belt.
