This ultrabasic massif is assigned to magnesian ultramafic massif of Alpine type. In these ultrabasic recks, the major minerals are forsterite, enstatite, diopsite and chrome spinel The rocks are very fresh, and therefore, texture and structure characteristics of compression during tectonic movement are commonly observed. Undulatory extinction, polysynthetic twin, kink band structure, enlongation and contortion of olivine and orthopyrexene crystals, radiating cracks occurring around the chrome spinels and so forth are commonly observed phenomena. All these features show that the massif was under constant action of tectonic compression during its evolution process and after it was basically consolidated. It is reasonable to consider that the tectonic compression was related to plate collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.展开更多

The ages of Dachang granites which are closely related to the ore deposits are discussed in this paper. Based on sixteen K-At biotite and one U-Pb zircon ages, it is suggested that Dachang granites were formed at 72--102 m.y.The cooling rates of Dachang granites have been estimated at 18.4℃/m.y. in the arly, 13.3℃/m.y. in the middle, and 4.5℃/m.y. in the late period.展开更多

As is shown by alkalisilicon and titanium.zirconium diagrams of volcanic rocks from these ophiolite belts, most of the volcanic rocks in these regions may not have been produced from ocean floor. Cretaceous volcanism in western Tibet bears strong resemblance to that of the present day Pacific Are. Based upon a review of opbiolite distribution on a worldwide scale, the authors suggest classifying the four major orogenic regions into four “ophiolite series”,i.e. the Qinghai-Tibet, the Altay, the Alpine and the Cireum-Pacific opbiolite series.Among other things, all the blocks, large and small, in the crust seems to be forced to converge respectively to the four places as a result of continental drift during the last one thousand million years.展开更多

The major part of the belt is mainly composed of diorite, granodiorite, etc.,more intermediate in chemical composition and ranges from 120---70 m. y. in age; (2)the Lhangoi Kangri belt (30 m. y.) ; and (8) the Himalaya belt (20--10 m. y.). From their intruding features, spatial-temporal consistency, intruding scale, petrological characters and chemical Composition, it is suggested that these three petrographical belts secm to be closely related to plate underthrust and collision. It may be concluded that the major part of the Kangdese belt is resulted from the underthrust of the Indian Ocean Plate towards the Eurasian Continental Plate while the Lhagoi Kangri belt and the Himalaya belt are the results:of collision of the Indian sub-Continental Plate overlying the .Indian Plate with the Eurasian Continental Plate.展开更多
