Abstract Zircon is the most abundantly used mineral for dating igneous and metamorphic events and for tracing source characteristics. Understanding the geochemical behavior of the U-Pb-Hf-O isotope systems during high-grade metamorphism is therefore important for accurate interpretation of the isotopic information. We report zircon U-Pb-Hf-O isotopes and trace elements of retrograded eclogites and host gneisses from Chicheng, North China Craton, with the aim to obtain new insights into the fidelity of U-Pb-Hf-O isotopes in zircon as recorders of high-grade metamorphism. U-Pb dating suggested that the Chicheng mélange experienced eclogite facies metamorphism at ~1.84 Ga, and then exhumed to amphibolite facies at 320–300 Ma. Zircons with Paleoproterozoic ages formed in metamorphic melts-derived from the gneiss during the eclogite facies metamorphism. Zircons with ages of 300–320 Ma formed by recrystallization of peak metamorphic zircons during fluid-assisted amphibolite-facies retrograde metamorphism. This process led to the near-complete resetting not only of U-Pb ages but also of Hf-O isotopic compositions of the peak metamorphic zircons, while preserve REE patterns. These results contrast with the sluggish Hf diffusion rate predicted from experimental studies, and support findings that isotopic data from metamorphic zircons in retrograded high-grade metamorphic rocks need not be faithful recorders of their sources.

The Kisseynew Domain is a metasedimentary belt in the central Reindeer Zone of the Trans-Hudson Orogen. It is bounded by 1.92-1.86 Ga volcanic-plutonic belts to the north and south, by an Archean terrane to the east (Superior Province), and by a volcanic-plutonic terrane underlain by an Archean terrane to the southwest (Glennie Domain). The Kisseynew Domain developed in an arc-related setting in the final stages of plate convergence involving the northward migration of arc-ocean floor complexes toward the Archean Hearne Craton. Terminal collision, involving also the Superior Craton, originated multiple fold-thrust systems and high-grade metamorphism. U-Pb ages of 1874-1860 Ma for pretectonic plutonic units in southern Kisseynew Domain are identical to ages of plutonism intruding the arc-ocean floor accretionary complex in the Flin Flon domain (Amisk collage) and indicate its northern extension. Deposition of the Burntwood Group turbidites started at ca. 1860 Ma, indicating uplift and erosion of the volcanic complexes and was coeval with arc magmatism that succeeded the Amisk collage. From 1848 Ma, Burntwood sedimentation was coeval with deposition of Missi Group continental sediments, with continental arc magmatism and early deformation. New and published ages for detrital zircon indicate that sediments were derived both from local 1.89-1.84 Ga units and also from 2.55-2.36 Ga sources. The latter suggest that a Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic cratonic block was undergoing erosion, remnants of which occur in the Flin Flon Belt. Basin closure started after 1823 Ma and is marked by regional high-grade metamorphism lasting for ca. 30 million years from 1818 Ma to 1785 Ma; late- to posttectonic metamorphic activity lasted until ca. 1775 Ma.
