Abstract: | In the “Central Uplift” of Qiangtang, Northern Tibet, a large scale of mafic dyke swarms extended in E-W direction. Zircon
SHRIMP U-Pb dating on two representative samples of diabase dyke yield weighted mean ages of 284 ± 3 Ma and 302 ± 4 Ma, respectively,
suggesting they emplaced in the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian. Zircon 176Hf/177Hf ratios range from 0.282852 to 0.283041, with ε
Hf(t) values of +12.1 to +12.2 and Hf modal (T
DM) ages of:_440–460 Ma. These data indicate that these mafic dykes were mainly derived from the depleted mantle. In addition,
geochemical data suggest that these mafic dyke swarms are of intra-plate origin. Therefore, the mafic dyke swarms represent
products during the extensional process associated with the opening of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean in the area.
