Two types of granitic intrusives occur in the lower Paleozoic strata in north Qilian. One is the hornblendebearing granitic body in Jingzichuan, characterized by the REE total of 90× 10-6-106× 10-6, LREE/HREE ratio of less than 8 (ranging from 6.9 to 7.8) and zircon SHRIMP age of 464 Ma. These intrusives have island-arc affinity. The other is biotite-bearing granitic body in Huangyanghe with the REE total of 214× 10-6-250× 10-6, LREE/HREE ratio of more than 8 (ranging from 8.2 to 9.7) and zircon LA-ICP-MS age of 383 Ma. They were tectonically intruded in a post-collisional or within-plate environment.
