Age and origin of high Ba-Sr appinite-granites at the northwestern margin of the Tibet Plateau: implications for early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Western Kunlun orogenic belt

The Buya appinite-granite is a typical high Ba-Sr granite emplaced at the northern West Kunlun orogenic belt along the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The granite is dated at ca. 430 Ma using the SHRIMP U-Pb zircon method. It consists of alkaline feldspar granites with coeval appinite en...
