Abstract
null null The Heishan mafic–ultramafic complex in the Qimantag Mountains of the Eastern Kunlun Orogen, consists of olivine pyroxenites, pyroxenites, gabbros, and massive basalts. Zircons from the gabbros have magmatic sector zoning, with Th/U ratios of 0.5–2.3, and yield a SHRIMP age of 486 ± 6 Ma (MSWD = 0.31), which is taken as the time of magma crystallization. Spinel, pyroxene, and plagioclase mineral compositions indicate that the rocks...
