Abstract Rocks and ore deposits in subduction zones can provide clues to material cycling and related subduction processes. Here we demonstrate, based upon a new data compilation from more than 240 late-Mesozoic fluorite deposits in southeast China that most of them can be divided into three fluorite deposit belts (FDB) with distinct ages and orientations. The two older inland FDB with a NE-SW orientation were formed at 165–150 Ma and 150–130 Ma, respectively, whereas the younger coastal FDB, roughly perpendicular to the others, was generated at 110–70 Ma. The temporal-spatial distributions of the FDB are compatible with the subduction of the (paleo-) Pacific plate. We propose that the genesis of the earlier two inland FDB was due to northeastward slab rollback during low-angle subduction, while formation of the coastal FDB resulted mainly from high-angle northwestward hot/warm subduction. Large amounts of F, mainly derived from the decomposition of phengite (±apatite) in the subducted slabs, could be transported into the overlying crust via F-rich fluids and alkalic magmas. Subsequently, extensive crustal magmatism and fluid activities associated with subduction further concentrate F from the magmas and/or wall-rocks and facilitate fluorite mineralization. This study provides new insights into the interaction between the subducting (paleo-) Pacific plate and overlying eastern Eurasian continent in the late Mesozoic. It also highlights the potential genetic association of F transport/deposition with plate subduction that could be a common phenomenon in ancient and modern subduction zones.
