Late Triassic granitic magmatism in the Eastern Qiangtang, Eastern Tibetan Plateau: Geochronology, petrogenesis and implications for the tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Tethys

Triassic granites are widely exposed in the central Qiangtang, northern Tibetan Plateau. They, therefore, made an important contribution to the growth of the Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, we present zircon U–Pb dating and Hf isotopic results, and whole-rock elemental and Sr–Nd isotopic analyses of the Dongdashan (DDS) batholith in the central Qiangtang in order to understand their petrogenesis and tectonic setting. LA-MC-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb...
