Water contents and chemical compositions of normal anhydrous minerals from Early-Paleozoic Songshugou and Tongbai terrain granulites and Paleo-Proterozoic Junan granulite xenoliths were obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR) and electron microprobe(EMP) respectively. All granulites characterized by mafic nature were formed under the lowest crustal conditions. Combined with previous results for Paleo-Proterozoic granulites (Junan and Nushan xenoliths and Hannuoba terrain) and Mesozoic granulites (Daoxia and Hannuoba xenoliths), it seems that water contents in the lower continental crust of eastern China were variable with time.
