Compositional and geochronological signatures of metamafic dykes from the Sangsang peridotites, South Tibet: Evidence for magma-starved forearc rifting during Neo-Tethyan subduction re-initiation

In this study we present new mineral chemistry, whole-rock geochemical and zircon U–Pb geochronological data for 12 metamafic dykes in the mantle sequence of the Sangsang ophiolite in South Tibet (China). Modal analyses of these dykes gave averages of ~40%–65% plagioclase and ~35%–60% amphibole and...
