This paper first reports the Ar-Ar geochronology of kimberlite-borne phlogopite megacrysts and the Hf isotopic compositions of the diamondiferous kimberlites from the eastern North China Craton.The paper,combined with the Sr-Nd isotopic data,discussed the kimberlite petrogeneses and their tectonic settings.Ar-Ar geochronology of the phlogopite megacrysts demonstrates that both the Mengyin and Fuxian kimberelites have coherent emplacement ages,about 465±2Ma.This is consistent with the previous results of the perivoskite U-Pb age and phlogopite Rb-Sr isochron ages of the kimberlites.The Sr-Nd isotopic data show that both the Mengyin and Fuxian kimberlites have restricted Nd isotopic compositions(e_(Nd)in the range of -0.4~0.2 and -3.4~-2.3, respectivey).However,these kimberlites have extremely large Sr isotopic compositions(I_(Sr)in the range of -0.2~28.1 and 0~75, respectively),in which relative to the Mengyin,the Fuxian kimberlites have lower Nd isotopes and much wider Sr isotopes.Hf isotopic results show that individual kimberlite fields from both the Mengyin and Fuxian regions have quite uniform Hf isotopic compositions, similar to the situation for the Nd isotopes,in which the initial ~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf ratios of the Mengyin kimberlites are in the range of 0.282474~0.282416 with correspondinge_(Hf)values of -2.37~-0.30 and the initial ~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf ratios of the Fuxian kimberlites are of 0.282305~0.282369 with correspondinge_(Hf)values of -6.29~-4.04.This manifests that Mengyin kimbedites have relatively higher Hf isotopic compositions than those of Fuxian kimborlites.In combination with the Sr and Nd isotopic results,it indicates that the difference in Hf isotopic compositions between the Mengyin kimberlites and the Fuxian kimberlites could reflect the difference in proportions of the involvement of the asthenosphere,the lithospherie mantle and the subdueted oceanic crust in the origin of the kimborlitic magmas.These Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic features demonstrate that the generation of the Paleozoic kimberlites of the North China Craton was related with the inward subduction of Paleo-oceanic lithosphere from the circum North China Craton towards the interior of the craton.
