Display omitted •The Bainang complex is related to Late Cretaceous subduction of Neo-Tethyan ocean.•The Bainang complex reflects two systems of ancestral Lhasa River and local river.•Our results support a single subduction model along the continental margin. Accretionary complexes offer important source of information for studying the subduction history and source-to-sink system and neighboring terranes. In this study, we conducted field mapping, detrital zircon U–Pb age and trace element analyses, and electronic microprobe composition analysis of detrital Cr-spinel in sandstones from the Cretaceous Bainang accretionary complex in the central part of the Yarlung–Zangpo suture zone (YZSZ). The Bainang accretionary complex is located in a structural window that is mainly composed of Xigaze ophiolite, Late Triassic–Early Cretaceous radiolarite chert with a Late Cretaceous hemipelagic siliceous shale matrix, and Late Cretaceous sandstone. The obtained detrital zircon geochronological dataset confirms two spectra. Detrital zircons from the Canggasaba and Lianxiang sections are dominated by Precambrian grains with subordinate numbers of Mesozoic grains clustering at 243–178, 164–117, and 109–91 Ma, consistent with the mélange and trench-fill Rongmawa Formation, and all the trace elements of the Mesozoic grains match continental arc affinity. Provenance analysis suggests that detritus in these sections was mainly derived from the eastern part of the Gangdese arc and the central–northern Lhasa terrane. These results confirm the existence of the ancestral Lhasa River that transports sediments from the eastern Lhasa terrane to the subduction zone and further westward along the east–west axial system parallel to the trench. Conversely, the Qiajiu section is mainly dominated by Mesozoic detrital zircon grains, representing submarine fan deposits that were sourced from the adjacent Gangdese arc and transported through a local north–south-flowing river system. Detrital Cr-spinel compositions and detrital zircon trace elements from the Qiajiu section also revealed the contribution of ophiolites. Considering the abundance of Eurasia-affinity detrital zircons, this study supports the single subduction model that was developed along the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane.
