SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating of gabbro, anorthosite, trondhjemite and granodiorite from the Jinshajiang ophiolitic melange of southwestern China provides geochronological constraints on the evolution of Paleo-Tethys. The ophiolitic melange is exposed for about 130 km along the Jinshajiang River where numerous blocks of serpentinite, ultramafic cumulate, gabbro, sheeted dikes, pillow lavas and radiolarian chert are set in a greenschist matrix. A cumulate gabbro-anorthosite association and an amphibole gabbro have ages of 338 +/- 6 Ma, 329 +/- 7 Ma and 320 +/- 10 Ma, respectively, which constrain the time of formation of oceanic crust. An ophiolitic isotropic gabbro dated at 282-285 Ma has the same age as a trondhjemite vein (285 6 Ma) cutting the gabbro. These ages probably reflect a late phase of sea-floor spreading above an intra-oceanic subduction zone. At the southern end of the Jinshajiang belt, a granitoid batholith (268 +/- 6 Ma), a gabbro massif (264 +/- 4 Ma), and a granodiorite (adakite) intrusion (263 +/- 6 Ma) in the ophiolitic melange constitute a Permian intra-oceanic plutonic arc complex. A trondhjemite dike intruded serpentinite in the melange at 238 +/- 10 Ma and postdates the are evolution of the Jinshajiang segment of Paleo-Tethys. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
