    • The initial break-up time between Tethyan-Himalaya and Indian terrane has been controversial for a long time.In this study, we report newly discovered pillow basalts which provide new insights to the solution of the problem.The pillow basalts trending northwestward unconformable overlap on the Middle Jurassic Zhela Formation.The zircon SHRIMP U-Pb isotopic dating shows the formation age of 92.1±1.2 Ma, representing the Late Cretaceous volcanic activity of the Tethys Himalaya.The major and trace elements analyses show the basalt is alkaline basalt with (La/Yb)N=5.7~7.1 and without Nb-Ta, Eu, Zr-Hf negative anomalies, and it has high Fe, P, Ti contents, low (La/Nb)PM and (Th/Ta)PM ratios.Zircon εHf(t) values range from 9.02 to 12.97, with an average of 10.50 and tDM1 is 241-399 Ma.Geochemical and isotopic data show that the Kada basalt is OIB-type basalt without any contamination from the crust and the magma originates from partial melting of garnet-spinel bearing lherzolite.Kada basalt is present within Tethyan Himalaya passive continental margin.Mafic volcanics spreading within passive continental margins is usually related with the processes of continental break-up and formation of a new ocean basin.Combined with the latest research result of paleomagnetic and evolution of Neo-Tethys oceanic basin, we suggest that the Kada basalt is related to the initial break-up between Tethyan-Himalaya and Indian terrane.The Kada basalt provides new clues for the study of tectonic evolution of the Tethyan Himalaya.
