“Scissors‐type” closure of the A'nyemaqen Ocean: Geochronological and geochemical constraints of Late Permian–Triassic granitoids in the East Kunlun Orogen
Abstract:The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) is located in the western part of China and has witnessed the Late Permian-Triassic tectonic evolution involving the A'nyemaqen Ocean (a part of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean). In this study, geochronology, geochemistry, and Hf isotope analysis of Late Permian-Triassic granitoids were carried out. Zircon U-Pb dating of Dachagou granodiorite and monzogranite in the western part of the EKO (W-EKO) is 233.4 ± 1.1 and 225.8 ± 1.2 Ma, respectively. The Dachagou granodiorite and monzogranite a… Show more
