摘要	A-type granite is a favorable rock for the study of crustal evolution, crust-mantle interaction and metallogenesis. However, the origin of A-type granite remains controversial. In this study, we report high-precision Ca isotopic compositions of a co-genetic suite of A-type granites from the Lower Yangtze River Belt (LYRB) in eastern China. Our results show that the delta 44/40Ca of the A-type granites ranges from 0.55 +/- 0.11 parts per thousand to 1.44 +/- 0.06 parts per thousand, and is negatively correlated with CaO, Sr and Ba contents and Eu/Eu*, indicating that the Ca isotope fractionation of A-type granites is dominated by plagioclase and potassium feldspar. There is kinetic fractionation of Ca isotopes during A-type granite magma evolution. Sample BSL-7, the least evolved sample, revealed that it had a low delta 44/40Ca of 0.59 parts per thousand, which is significantly lower than that of the upper continental crust (delta 44/40Ca = 0.71-0.72 parts per thousand) and the bulk silicate earth (delta 44/40Ca = 0.94 parts per thousand). The low delta 44/40Ca can be best explained by partial melting of the enriched mantle metasomatized by subduction material. Combined with the geodynamic background of the LYRB, we propose that the formation of A-type granites in the LYRB originates from partial melting of the enriched mantle, triggered by early Cretaceous ridge subduction of the Pacific and Izanagi plates. A-type granite is an important rock type in the study of continental evolution. However, the genesis of A-type granite has been debated. We try to constrain the origin of A-type granites by Ca isotopes. The Ca isotopic composition of plagioclase and potassium feldspar in A-type granites is obviously different, which makes Ca isotopes can be used to trace the magmatic evolution of A-type granites. In addition, the Ca isotope compositions of different magma source areas vary widely. Therefore, Ca isotopes have great potential to restrict the source feature of A-type granite magmas. The fractionation of Ca isotopes of A-type granites is dominated by plagioclase and potassium feldspar There is kinetic fractionation of calcium isotopes during A-type granite magma evolution The ridge subduction model can well explain the genesis of A-type granites in the LYRB
