Evolution of the Yangtze River network, southeastern Tibet: Insights from thermochronology and sedimentology

“…The end of this deformation stage is characterized by undeformed Late Triassic and Cretaceous plutons intruding the deformed sediments (Reid et al, 2005(Reid et al, , 2007, including a granitic pluton we sampled for thermochronometry dating near the city of Xiangcheng (see "Sampling and Methods" section). This granite belongs to the so-called "Cilincuo intrusion" (Wang et al, 2008;Fei et al, 2009;Li et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014), for which previous studies reported U-Pb ages ranging from the Late Jurassic to the Paleocene. Cu deposits in this intrusion were dated at ca.…”

Oxygen isotope and trace element geochemistry of zircons from porphyry copper system: Implications for Late Triassic metallogenesis within the Yidun Terrane, southeastern Tibetan Plateau

“…1a), including the contemporaneous Relin and Xiuwacu intrusions (87-81 Ma, Wang et al, 2014b;Fig. 1b) which were originated from partial melting of the mature continental crust (Huang, 2013;Wang et al, 2014b).…”

“…The TE data for the Yanshanian (Late Cretaceous) Relin (RL) and Xiuwacu (XWC) granites (our unpublished data) within the Yidun Terrane are also shown (Fig. 1), all of which do not host economic porphyry copper mineralization whereas associated with W-Mo mineralization and are considered to be derived from the continental crust (Wang et al, 2014b). The dashed line denotes the boundary between copper-bearing and barren igneous rocks.…”

“…Yidun Terrane contains numerous porphyry-skarn Cu polymetallic deposits associated with Late Triassic magmatism (e.g., Pulang, Xuejiping, and Hongshan) and magmato-hydrothermal quartz-vein Cu-Mo-W/Mo-W deposits associated with Late Cretaceous magmatism (e.g., Relin, Xiuwacu, and Tongchanggou). It is a general consensus that Late Cretaceous magmas derived from partial melting of mature continental crust (e.g., Huang, 2013;Wang et al, 2014b). However, the origin of the Late Triassic magmatism remains a subject of debate.…”
