Late Early Jurassic continental arc magmatism in the northern Greater Khingan Range enables the investigation of complicated tectonic processes associated with the subduction and closure of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean. To further clarify the timing, genesis, and geodynamic mechanisms driving the magmatic activity during this period, the present study addresses these critical questions by integrating zircon U–Pb geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic analyses of a wide variety of igneous rocks, including gabbro, gabbro-diorite, granodiorite, porphyritic monzogranite, and biotite-bearing monzogranite from the Fushan region. Zircon U–Pb geochronology constrains the timing of magmatic activity to 184–179 Ma, coinciding with active subduction phases. Geochemical data reveal arc-like signatures characterized by enrichment in light rare-earth elements (LREEs) and large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs), together with pronounced depletion in high field strength elements (HFSEs). A comprehensive analysis of geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic signatures suggests that the mafic rocks originated from an enriched lithospheric mantle modified by subduction-related fluids and sediment-derived melts. By contrast, the granodiorite and porphyritic monzonite exhibit adakitic characteristics, indicating partial melting of the thickened Mesoproterozoic lower crust with contributions from mantle-derived or newly formed crustal material. The biotite-bearing monzogranite, with its pronounced Eu anomaly and lower zircon saturation temperatures, reflects advanced magmatic differentiation from a shallower source. These findings indicate extensive crust–mantle interactions during the southward subduction of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean, driven by high-angle subduction and slab rollback.
