The widely distributed Early Permian magmatism in Tarim Basin, extending about 250,000km2, is considered to be a new large igneous province (LIP). The research about the felsic volcanic rocks in Tarim basin provides a new way to understand the Permian magmatism of Tarim. We report zircon U-Pb dating, major and trace element composition and Sr-Nd isotopic data for felsic volcanic rocks from northern Tarim uplift. All the samples were collected from the drill holes which have depths about 5km. Zircon U-Pb dating of these samples revealed an eruption age span of 274Ma to 282Ma, which is supposed to be post major eruption magmatism of Tarim LIP. These samples are enriched in potassium, K2O+Na2O=7.29%~8.34%, K2O/Na2O1, and belong to high-K calc-alkaline series and peraluminous (A/CNK=1.32~1.53). Most of the samples are enriched in LREE, Zr, Hf, Y, with low Sr, P, Ti, Nb and Ta. The primitive-mantle normalized incompatible element spidergrams are similar to those of continental crust and they have right-dipping type chondrite-normalized REE patterns with minor negative Eu anomalies. The study of Sr-Nd-Pb isotope shows that the origin of the northern Tarim felsic rocks may suffer contamination by continental rocks. This is also supported by the high Th, U, Nb/La, Nb/U and Th/Ta ratios which are affinity with the crust. Based on the data indicated above we suppose that the felsic volcanic rocks from northern Tarim uplift are the products of anatexis of the continental crust associated with the mantle plume activity.
