A detailed petrographic, geochemical and geochronological study reveals a suite of Miocene (~21–23 Ma) high Sr/Y and La/Yb volcanic rocks of dacite compositions and adjacent Late Cretaceous tonalite and granodiorite (~78–80 Ma) in the Qiewa of the southern Gangdese batholith. The analyses results show that (1) the dacites are characterized by Na-rich, peraluminous, high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios, showing adakitic affinity, the granitic wall-rocks (tonalite and granodiorite) and enclave have the Na-rich and metaluminous features; and (2) the dacites have relatively radiogenic Sr (86Sr/87Sr(t) = 0.7049–0.7061), unradiogenic Nd (εNd(t) = −3.8 - +0.1), and positive Hf (εHf(t) = +3.0 − +9.5) isotope compositions, while its associated plutonic rocks have relatively lower Sr (86Sr/87Sr(t) = 0.7035–0.7039), but higher Nd (εNd(t) = +3.3 − +4.9) and Hf (εHf(t) = +11.1 − +14.7) isotope ratios. Data presented in this study demonstrates that Early Miocene dacites are generated by partial melting of thickened (~70 km) juvenile lower crust, whereas the Late Cretaceous granitic wall-rocks (tonalite and granodiorite) and enclave are derived from partial melting of juvenile crust with a normal crustal thickness (~40–44 km). Deposition of ~23 Ma dacitic volcanic rocks directly upon the ~80 Ma plutonic rocks suggests that the Gangdese batholith experienced an episode of rapid exhumation before ~23 Ma, possibly triggered by the delamination of thickened continental lithosphere.
