Recent investigations indicate there is a Late Triassic-Early Jurassic granite belt in the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane. Their petrogenesis is important to understand Mesozoic evolution history of Tibet plateau, but has not been well constrained by far. In the study, we report Sr-Nd-Pb and zircon Hf isotopic compositions of the Late Jurassic granitic porphyries at Qulong, Tibet. The results show that the granitic porphyries have relatively low initial 87Sr/86Sr values (0.7029~0.7050), slightly negative to positive eNd(t) values (-0.1~1.2), and positive zircon eHf(t) values (2.6~8.2), suggesting the magma was derived from partial melting of juvenile crust. By comparison with already-reported Hf (and part Sr-Nd) isotopic data of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic granite, we find that the eHf(t) values of zircons from these granites decrease from west (Xietongmen) to east (Milin) in a 500km-wide belt, indicating contribution of mature crustal composition in formation of the granite increases from west to east. This probably attributes to heterogeneous Hf isotopic compositions of crystalline basement of south Lhasa subterrane at Late Triassic-Early Jurassic. However, geographical factor should also not be excluded because that the eastern granites (e.g., Qulong, Milin) are closer to the old central Lhasa subterrane, and thus easily result in involvement of more mature crustal material in their magma source.
