The Hengshan complex is located in the central part of SE China, which underwent rapid tectonic uplift in the Cretaceous just like many other complexes on the continent. （40）~Ar-（39）~Ar geochronological data from the Hengshan complex suggest that two episodes of crustal cooling/extension took place...
