Neoproterozoic Bimodal Intrusive Complex in the Southwestern Tarim Block, Northwest China: Age, Geochemistry, and Implications for the Rifting of Rodinia

We report here the first SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages and bulk-rock geochemistry for a Neoproterozoicbimodal intrusive complex in the Tarim block and discuss the tectonic implications. The Kudiigneous complex (KIC) crystallized at 783 10 Ma. Granite and gabbro comingled, indicating thatthe intrusions we...
