SHRIMP U-Pb Zircon Dating of Mesoproterozoic Anatase-Rich Ore Beds and Granite in Yangtizishan-Moshishan Anatase Deposit, Inner Mongolia, and Its Geological Significance
摘要
///Based on detailed geological reconnaissance and petrological research, the authors selected zircons from a Mesoproterozoic metamorphosed sedimentary type anatase-rich ore bed in the Moshishan ore belt within the northern part of the ore district and a granite body at the contact zone between the granite and a hydrothermally modified type ore shoot in the western segment of the Yangtizishan ore belt within the southern part of the ore district for relatively systematic SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating. The granite body has an emplacement (or crystallization) age of 118 Ma, indicating a late Yanshanian product and representing the age of the metallogenic epoch when the western segment of the Yangtizishan ore belt locally underwent the late-stage hydrothermal reformation.
