Geochemical compositions of mafic rocks outcropped in the Luobusa ophiolite are studied.
Both gabbros and amphibolites of the Luobusa ophiolite are dated.
The Luobusa ophiolite was formed at the Early Cretaceous, i.e., ~ 130 Ma.
The formation age is roughly synchronous to its metamorphic sole.
Ophiolites along the whole YZSZ were coevally formed during the Cretaceous.
