Geodynamic evolution in the late Paleozoic is significant for understanding the final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). No consensus has yet been reached regarding the late Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the northern Great Xing'an Range (GXR) in northeastern China, the eastern CAOB. Furthermore, late Paleozoic syenogranitediabase dyke association is present in the Xiaokele area in northern GXR. It provides an important opportunity to understand the nature of magmatism and the geodynamic evolution during this period. This paper presents new zircon U-Pb ages, zircon Hf isotopic compositions, and geochemical data of whole rocks for Xiaokele syenogranite and diabase. Zircon U-Pb dating suggests that the Xiaokele syenogranite (292.5 [+ or -] 0.9 Ma) and diabase (298.3 [+ or -] 1.5 Ma) were emplaced during the early Permian. The Xiaokele syenogranites have high Si[O.sub.2] contents, low MgO contents, and enriched zircon [[epsilon].sub.Hf](t) values, suggesting that their primary magma was generated by the partial melting of the juvenile crustal material. The Xiaokele diabases have low Si[O.sub.2] contents, high MgO contents, are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements, depleted in high-field-strength elements, and exhibit enriched zircon [[epsilon].sub.Hf](t) values. They derived from a lithospheric mantle source that had previously been metasomatized by slab-derived fluids. Combined with previous research results, we believe that the continent-continent collision between the Xing'an and Songliao blocks occurred during the late early Carboniferous - early late Carboniferous (330-310 Ma), and the two blocks were transformed into a post-collisional extensional setting during the latest Carboniferous - early Permian. Key words: early Permian, syenogranite, diabase, post-collisional extensional setting, Xiaokele, northern Great Xing'an Range. L'evolution geodynamique au Paleozoique tardif est importante pour la comprehension de l'amalgamation finale de la ceinture orogenique d'Asie centrale (COAC). Aucun consensus n'a encore ete etabli quant a l'evolution geodynamique au Paleozoique tardif du Grand Xing'an (GX) septentrional de l'est de la COAC dans le nord-est de la Chine. En outre, une association d'age paleozoique tardif de syenogranite et de dykes de diabase est presente dans la region de Xiaokele du GX septentrional, qui offre une bonne occasion de mieux comprendre la nature du magmatisme et de l'evolution geodynamique durant cette periode. L'article presente de nouveaux ages U-Pb sur zircons, des donnees sur la composition des isotopes de Hf des zircons et des donnees geochimiques sur roche totale pour le syenogranite et la diabase de Xiaokele. La datation U-Pb sur zircons indiquerait que le syenogranite (292,5 [+ or -] 0,9 Ma) et la diabase (298,3 [+ or -] 1,5 Ma) de Xiaokele ont ete mis en place durant le Permien precoce. Les syenogranites de Xiaokele ont des teneurs elevees en Si[O.sub.2] et faibles MgO et presentent des valeurs enrichies de [[epsilon].sub.Hf](t) des zircons, ce qui indiquerait que leur magma primaire est un produit de la fusion partielle de materiau crustal juvenile. Les diabases de Xiaokele ont des teneurs en Si[O.sub.2] faibles et en MgO elevees et sont enrichies en elements lithophiles a grand rayon ionique, appauvries en elements a forte liaison atomique et presentent des valeurs enrichies de [[epsilon].sub.Hf](t) des zircons. Elles proviennent d'une source dans le manteau lithospherique ayant prealablement subi un metasomatisme cause par des fluides issus d'une plaque subductee. A la lumiere de ces resultats et de resultats de travaux anterieurs, nous croyons que la collision continent-continent des blocs de Xing'an et de Songliao s'est produite durant l'intervalle du Carbonifere precoce tardif au Carbonifere tardif precoce (330 Ma-310 Ma) et que les deux blocs se sont transformes en un milieu d'extension post-collision durant l'intervalle de la fin du Carbonifere au Permien precoce. [Traduit par la Redaction] Mots-cles: Permien precoce, syenogranite, diabase, milieu d'extension post-collision, Xiaokele, Grand Xing'an septentrional., Introduction The tectonic evolution of orogenic belts is characterized by changes in the associated magmatic composition (Harris et al. 1986). Post-collisional magmatism, as one of the common characteristics of many [...]
