Four bedrock samples, collected from the eastern segment of Daqing Mountain, were analyzed using apatite fission-track (AFT) method. This elucidates the uplift-exhumation history of this area since the Late Cretaceous — in particular, when the present geomorphology of Daqing Mountain was shaped. The AFT ages range from 57.7±3.8 Ma to 50.4±3.3 Ma and the track length is between 10.7±0.4 μm and 9.9±0.1 μm. Modeling of the fission track data suggests two stages of rapid uplift and cooling, 100-90 Ma and since 13.5-7 Ma. The second cooling stage (since 13.5-7 Ma) was characterized by the fast uplift-exhumation in this area, resulting in the present geomorphology of Daqing Mountain.
