Zircon U-Pb age, trace elements, and Hf isotopes were determined for granulite and gneiss at Huangtuling (黄土岭), which is hosted by ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks in the Dabie (大别) orogen, east-central China. Cathodoluminescence (CL) images reveal core-rim structure for most zircons in the granulite. The cores show oscillatory zoning, relatively high Th/U and 176Lu/177Hf ratios, and high rare earth element (HREE)-enriched pattern, consistent with magmatic origin. They gave a weighted mean 207Pb/206Pb age of (2 766±9) Ma, dating magma emplacement of protolith. The rims are characterized by sector or planar zoning, low Th/U and 176Lu/177Hf ratios, negative Eu anomalies and flat HREE patterns, consistent with their formation under granulite-facies metamorphic conditions. Zircon U-Pb dating yields an age of (2 029±13) Ma, which is interpreted as a record of metamorphic event during the assembly of the supercontinent Columbia. The gneiss has a protolith age of (1 982±14) Ma, which is similar to the zircon U-Pb age for the granulite-facies metamorphism, suggesting complementary processes to granulite-facies metamorphism and partial melting, A few inherited cores with igneous characteristics have 207Pb/206Pb ages of approximately 3.53, 3.24, and 2.90 Ga, respectively, suggesting the presence of Mesoarchean to Paleoarchean crustal remnants. A few Triassic and Cretaceous metamorphic ages were obtained, suggesting the influences by the Triassic continental collision and postcollisional collapse in response to the Cretaceous extension. Comparing with abundant occurrence of Triassic metamorphic zircons in ultrahigh-pressure eclogite and granitc gneiss from the Dabie-Sulu (苏鲁) orogenic belt, however, very limited availability of aqueous fluid or hydrous melt is evident for zircon growth in the Huangtuling granulite and gneiss during the continental collision. The magmatic protolith zircons from the granulite show a large variation in 176Hf/177Hf ratios from 0.280 809 to 0.281 289, corresponding to
