Paleozoic intrusions, which are widely exposed in the Kawabulake area, provide valuable clues about the tectonic evolution and crustal growth of the Central Tianshan. LA- ICP- MS U- Pb zircon ages of 447. 4±4. 9 Ma and 422. 6±5 Ma were obtained for two monzogranites, both of which are characterized by positive ε Hf ( t ) values ranging from 7. 1 to 11. 9, and 5. 8 to 11. 8 with relative young crustal model ( T DM2 ) ages of 674~963 Ma and 514~1043 Ma, respectively. The inherited zircons captured by an intermediate basic dyke that intruded a Late Paleozoic granite yielded various old ages, the ε Hf ( t ) values of which range between -7. 4 and +4. 8 with corresponding T DM2 ages of 1. 47~2. 54 Ga. Hf isotopic compositions of the Paleozoic granites and coexisting intermediate basic dikes in the Kawabulake area show that the magmatic activities during the Mesoproterozoic (~1. 4 Ga), Neoproterozoic (~800 Ma) and Paleozoic (~400 Ma) display completely different source characteristics from northern Tarim. After integrating with the previous published data, we propose that the Central Tianshan has no close tectonic affinity to the Tarim Craton.
