The Baoshan Block is tectonically located in the middle segment of the Sibumasu plate.Granitic magmatism within the Baoshan Block has been considered weakly active due mainly to very limited exposures during the Himalaya orogenic episode.The geochronological study on the buried Shuangmaidi granite has confirmed the existence of the Cenozoic granitoids in the Baoshan Block.The present study indicates that:(1) It is medium-to coarse-grained two mica phyric granite,characterized by high SiO 2 (73.55%-77.16%) and low CaO (0.34%-1.38%) contents,with a total alkalis (K 2 O+Na 2 O) of 5.22%-8.03%,K 2 O/Na 2 O ratios of 0.24-1.79,and total rare earth elements (ΣREE) of the granite between 85 and 125 ppb.All samples are enriched in light REE and exhibit medium negative Eu anomalies;and they show pronounced negative anomalies in Ba,Sr,Ti,and Nb but significant positive anomalies in K,Rb,U,Th,and Pb on mantle-normalized trace element patterns,indicating typi-cally peraluminous to strongly peraluminous S-type granite.(2) The zircon SHRIMP U-Pb ages of the granite are 36.27±0.48 Ma for the samples from ZK7-1 and 35.78±0.49 Ma for those from ZK0-1,respectively.The similar zircon ages from these two drill cores may suggest that the granite samples come from the same buried pluton.(3) 206 Pb/204 Pb values of the granite vary from 20.115 to 25.359,207 Pb/204 Pb from 15.776 to 16.160,and 208 Pb/204 Pb from 39.236 to 41.285,showing the characteristics of radio-active lead anomaly of the upper crust.The (87 Sr/86 Sr) i values calculated on the average age of the two-mica orthoclase granite (36 Ma) range from 0.72524 to 0.77503 and ε Nd (t) values vary from 10.9 to 11.7.These data,along with the depleted-mantle Nd modal ages of 1.73-1.80 Ga,imply that the granites might have formed from partial melting of the Precambrian crystal basements.(4) On the Hf-Rb-Ta diagram,almost all the samples fall within the field of post-collision tectonic setting.The CaO/Na 2 O and Al 2 O 3/TiO 2 ratios suggest that the granitic magma may have form
