Short summary
Debate has long surrounded the tectonic affinity and evolution of Longshoushan during the Paleozoic. This study presents new zircon U–Pb ages, whole-rock major and trace element data, and Hf isotopic analyses for granitoids. (1) Longshoushan was influenced by the North Qilian Orogenic Belt in the early Paleozoic, (2) it transitioned from a post-collisional compressional to an extensional setting ~435 Ma, and (3) a three-stage early Paleozoic tectonic model is proposed.
