- SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating of the migmatite along the Xianshuihe Fault zone.
- Deciphering an Oligocene metamorphic event along this fault zone.
- Confirming episodic emplacements of the Konggar granitic pluton at 18-12Â Ma.
- Addressing the onset time (about 12-10Â Ma) of the sinistral strike-slip faulting.
The Konggar massif, about 120Â km long and 13Â -Â 18Â km wide, developed along the eastern segment of the Xianshuihe fault zone in East Tibet. It consists of two rock units: the Konggar granitic pluton and an elongate migmatite zone about 70Â km long and 1Â -Â 3Â km wide. A metamorphic event was well recorded by the growth rims of zircons in the migmatite, their SHRIMP U-Pb dating of two rock samples taken from leucosome and melanosome yields respectively the ages of ca. 31.75Â Ma and ca. 26.9Â Ma. The SHRIMP U-Pb dating of zircons from two rock samples of the granitic pluton yields respectively the crystalline ages of 17.35Â Ma and 14.4Â Ma. These new data, together with the previously zircon U-Pb ages, the mica Ar-Ar dating ages and whole rock Rb-Sr age of the granitoid, allows to constraining the tectono-thermal evolution history of the Xianshuihe fault zone. It is inferred that this fault zone suffered along its eastern segment from high temperature metamorphism and migmatization during the Oligocene (in 32Â -Â 27Â Ma), which was followed by magma intrusion during the Miocene (in 18Â -Â 12Â Ma); sinistral shearing began to occur at about 10Â Ma and continues to present-day.
