Abstract/NotesThe tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean and the destruction mechanism of the North China Craton (NCC) are still controversial. In this study, we conducted zircon U-Pb dating, whole-rock geochemistry, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotope analyses on the Weiyuanpu mafic–ultramafic intrusions in the eastern segment of the northern margin of the NCC to discuss their petrogenesis and tectonic implications. The Weiyuanpu mafic–ultramafic intrusions consist of troctolite, hornblendite, hornblende gabbro, gabbro, and minor diorite, anorthosite, characterized by cumulate structure. The main crystallization sequence of minerals is olivine → pyroxene → magnetite → hornblende. The zircon U-Pb ages of hornblendite, hornblende grabbro, and diorite are  170Ma. Geochemical characteristics exhibit low-K tholeiitic to calc-alkaline series, enriched in light rare-earth elements (LREE) and significant large-ion lithophile elements (LILE), and depleted in high-field-strength elements (HFSE). Sr-Nd isotopic compositions are ISr = 0.7043–0.7055, εNd(t) = −0.7 to +0.9, and zircon εHf (t) values range from +3.4 to +8.7. These results suggest that the source region was a phlogopite-bearing garnet lherzolite mantle metasomatized by subduction fluids. The study reveals that the northeastern margin of the NCC was in a back-arc extensional setting due to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean during the Middle Jurassic, which caused lithosphere thinning and mantle melting in this region.
