The West Qinling Orogen(WQO)is located in the western part of the Qinling Orogen and in the transition zone of Qilian Orogen,Songpan-Garzc Orogen and Yangtze Block,and also the key position of Triassic collision orogenic event.The study of the Early Triassic strata in the WQO is contributed to analyze the closure process of the paleo-Tethys.We conducted LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating studies on detrital zircons to determine the provenance,depositional age,and tectonic setting of the Early Triassic Longwuhe Formation in the Lintan area of the WQO.The results show that the majori-ty of the detrital zircons in the Longwuhe Formation are mainly magmatic origin and have characteris-tic of crust source zircon.The lowest limit of sedimentation of the Longwuhe Formation is constrained to the Early Triassic,with the youngest detrital zircon age of 253±3 Ma.The ages can be divided into five age groups:3 346-1 636 Ma,with two peak ages of ca.2 495 and ca.1 885 Ma;1 585-1 010 Ma,with a peak age at ca.1 084 Ma;992-554 Ma,with a peak age at ca.939 Ma;521-421 Ma,with a peak age at ca.445 Ma;418-253 Ma,with a peak age at ca.280 Ma.Apparently,the sources of the Long-wuhe Formation include the northern margin of the WQO,the Qilian Orogen(QLO)and the base-ment of the southern margin of the North China Block(NCB),of which the ancient basement of the southern margin of the NCB is the main source area of the Longwuhe Formation.Combined with pre-vious studies,we propose that the Longwuhe Formation was formed in a fore-arc basin,which is relat-ed to the closure of the A'nyemaqen-Mianlüe Ocean from the Early Permian to Early-Middle Triassic due to the northward subduction-collision of the Yangtze Block(YZB).This also indicates that the A'nyemaqen-Mianlüe Ocean has flat subduction characteristics.
