Abstract/NotesFozi Mountain National Geopark is located in Zhenghe County in the northern region of Fujian Province, where the volcanic rocks of the Zhaixia Formation of the Shimaoshan Group are exposed. Zircon U-Pb dating and geochemical analysis were carried out to constrain its age and tectonic environment. The results show that three zircon U-Pb dating samples have attained ages of 99.2 ± 1.0 Ma, 99.6 ± 0.8 Ma, and 99.7 ± 2.0 Ma. Volcanic rocks in the core scenic area of Fozi Mountain were formed during the Late Cretaceous period. Elemental analysis showed that these volcanic rocks were dominated by the shoshonite series. They include gray dacite porphyry, grayish-white breccia tuff, volcanic agglomerate, and gray tuffaceous sandstone. These rocks were characterized by high silicon, high alkali content, and rich potassium levels. Lu-Hf isotope analysis of zircons revealed that their ΔHf(t) values varied from −8.7 to −6.8. The corresponding TDM2 values were primarily distributed in the range of 1.71 Ga to 1.59 Ga. These findings indicated that the magma primarily originated from the partial melting of the Mesoproterozoic crystalline basement, accompanied by a small number of mantle-derived materials. Tectonic environment analysis indicated that these rocks were formed in the post-orogenic intraplate extensional environment, which was associated with the back-arc extension or lithospheric thinning caused by the subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate. The formation of these volcanic rocks was attributed to post-orogenic magmatism.
