Lincang granite is a batholith located in the Sanjiang region and is an important research subject for understanding subduction and collision during the Paleo-Tethyan period. It is widely exposed in the Lincang Terrane and extends south into Burma. Based on various petrological and geochemical investigations performed from south to north across the Lincang granite, a new set of data, which includes zircon chronological and Hf isotopic data, is presented to discuss the origin of the Lincang granite and its tectonic significance. The Lincang granite is a peraluminous, high-K calc-alkaline body with sub-parallel REE patterns and a strong negative Eu anomaly. This anomaly is characteristic of a post-collision peraluminous S-type granitic batholith. The 200-230 Ma formation age of the Lincang granite was determined using LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating. Thus, it has been confirmed that the granite formed during the late Triassic period, and the formation process lasted for approximately 30 Ma. Geochemical and isotopic compositions indicate that the primary magma of Lincang granite most likely originated from a crustal source, and possibly underwent an assimilation-fractionation crystallization (AFC) process during its emplacement. The Lincang granite formed during the continental collision between the Baoshan-Gengma Terrane and the Lanping-Simao Terrane after the northeast subduction of the Paleo-Tethyan Oceanic Plate. Therefore, the late Triassic Lincang granite is important evidence for the closure of the Paleo-Tethyan Ocean. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
