%X SHRIMP U-Pb zircon analyses for a gabbro sample from the Garzê ophiolite block yielded a mean206Pb/238U age of 292 ±4 Ma, which indicated that the spreading time of the Garzê-Litang Tethys was most likely at the earliest Permian. Combined with previous studies, we suggest that the opening of the Tethys in southwest China was derived from breakup of the East Gondwanaland in the late Paleozoic.
