The Lhasa terrane is one of the major segments of the Tibetan Plateau, with widespread Mesozoic to Cenozoic magmatic and metallogenic records. Here, we investigate timing and characteristics of magmatism associated with the Lunggar Fe skarn deposit in Central Lhasa. We also present Sr–Nd–Pb and Hf (...
