Supplemental Material: Zircon geochemistry of the Xigaze ophiolite in southern Tibet: Insights into the tectonic evolution of the Neotethys Ocean in the Mesozoic

Key Points

• Zircon geochemistry provides insights into tectonic history and evolution of the Neotethys Ocean.
• High-precision U-Pb isotopic data from zircon reveals timeframes of geological processes during the Mesozoic.
• Samples from gabbro and roddingite demonstrate diverse trace element compositions, indicating varied geological environments.
• Findings enhance understanding of Mesozoic tectonic activity in southern Tibet and implications for oceanic structures.
