Al-rich paragneisses in Jingshan Group are extensively distributed in the Early Precambrian metamorphic basement of Shandong Peninsula, southeast part of the North China Craton. Zircons separated from Al-rich paragneisses are divided into three main types based on cathodoluminescence (CL) and in situ U-Pb dating, i.e., inherited (magmatic or detrital) zircon, HP metamorphic zircon and retrogressive zircon. The results indicate that the Paleoproterozoic protoliths of Al-rich paragneisses, together with their TTG rocks and mafic rocks, were subducted to coeval Paleoproterozoic HP metamorphism (1 900~1 850 Ma), followed by late medium-and low-granulites-facies retrogression (1 840~1 820 Ma).
