Due to the paucity of exposure, the formation and evolution of the Precambrian basement of the Lhasa terrane remain poorly known. Here we report zircon and titanitein situU–Pb ages, bulk-rock geochemical and zircon Hf isotopic data on the orthogneisses from the Dongjiu area of the southern Lhasa subterrane (SLT), southern Tibet. Geochemical data suggest that the protoliths of the biotite-amphibole gneiss and biotite gneiss are granodiorite and granite, respectively. Inherited magmatic zircon cores from these orthogneisses give protolith crystalline ages of 1520–1506 Ma, whereas the overgrown zircon rims give metamorphic ages of 605–590 Ma. The Mesoproterozoic granitic rocks have bulk-rock εNd(t) values of −3.6 to +0.1 and zircon core εHf(t) values of −4.5 to +2.6, which give similar TDM2ages of 2.35–2.05 Ga and 2.54–2.10 Ga respectively, suggesting their derivation from partial melting of Paleoproterozoic crustal material. The granitic rocks are also local provenance for the Mesoproterozoic detrital zircons in the Paleozoic strata in the Lhasa terrane. Titanitein situU–Pb ages further indicate that the Dongjiu orthogneiss experienced more recent metamorphism at ~26 Ma. The mineral assemblage and thermobarometry calculations indicate that the Oligocene metamorphism occurred under medium-pressure (MP) amphibolite-facies conditions (5.4–7.2 kbar, 691–765 °C). We propose that the Dongjiu gneisses represent the Precambrian metamorphic basement of the Lhasa terrane, but have been intensively reworked by metamorphism in the SLT in response to the continued India-Asia convergence since the collision.
