摘要
Paleogeographic reconstructions show that the Ligurian-Piedmont Ocean (LPO) was a relatively narrow oceanic basin but the actual amount of oceanic lithosphere generated and the timing of magmatic accretion are still subjects of debate. New U-Pb dating of zircon from two pairs of FeTi-oxide metagabbro and metaplagiogranite s.l. of the Susa and Lanzo Valleys Ophiolites (Western Alps) yields Late Jurassic magmatic ages (similar to 150 Ma), 10-15 Ma younger than most of the magmatism in the LPO. The potential significance of the geochronological data presented are discussed in relation to the structural architecture of the LPO, emphasizing that the investigated ophiolites represent the youngest oceanic lithosphere accreted in the Western Alps.
