However, it has been a difficult issue when relating zircon U-Pb ages to metamor- phic conditions in complex metamorphic rocks. Much pro- gress has been made in the past decade with respect to the genesis of zircon and its constraints on interpretation of U-Pb age. Three methods have been proposed to link zircon U-Pb age to metamorphic conditions: (ⅰ) internal structure; (ⅱ) trace element feature; (ⅲ) mineral inclusion composition. Magmatic zircon shows typical oscillatory zoning and/or sector zoning, whereas metamorphic zircon has internal structures such as no zoned, weakly zoned, cloudy zoned, sector zoned, planar zoned, and patched zoned ones. Zircons formed in different geological environments generally have characteristic internal structures. Magmatic zircons from different rock types have variable trace element abundances, with a general trend of increasing trace element abundances in zircons from ultramafic through mafic to granitic rocks. Zircons formed under different metamorphic conditions have different trace element characteristics that can be used to relate their formation to metamorphic conditions. It is an effective way to relate zircon growth to certain P-T condi- tions by studying the trace element partitioning between coexisting metamorphic zircon and garnet in high-grade metamorphic rocks containing both zircon and garnet. Pri- mary mineral inclusions in zircon can also provide unambi- guous constraints on its formation conditions. Therefore, interpretation of zircon U-Pb ages can be constrained by its internal structure, trace element composition, mineral inclu- sion and so on.展开更多

The obtained Hf isotopic data, in either in situ or line scan modes, are not only identical for different spot sizes, but also are consistent with previously published results obtained on TIMS or other MC-ICPMS machines within errors. This indicates that it is possible to obtain reliable ^176Hf/^177Hf isotopic ratios for zircon in either in situ or line scan conditions on LA-MC-ICPMS machine, and the applied procedures in our study for elemental interfering correction are appropriate for the purpose of acquiring satisfactory accuracy for Hf isotope analyses. The Hf isotopic compositions of four zircon standards in high spatial resolution U-Pb dating, 91500, CZ3, CN92-1 and TEMORA, are measured, respectively. The obtained ^176Hf/^177Hf ratios are 0.282316±4 (n=34,2σ) for91500, 0.281704±6 (n = 16,2σ) for CZ3, 0.282200±6 (n=20,2σ) for CN92-1 and 0.282684±14 (n=24,2σ) for TEMORA, respectively, with ^176Lu/^177Hf ratios of -0.00031, 0.000036,0.00083 and 0.00127. Zircons 91500 and CZ3 show narrowervariations in ^176Hf/^177Hf and ^176Lu/^177Hf ratios than those of zircons CN92-1 and TEMORA, and thus are appropriate standards for the Hf isotope analysis.展开更多

SHRIMP U-Pb analyses of these zircons gave an age of 117±3 Ma comparable with the ages reported by the former researches in the other areas in the Jiaodong Penin- sula, which is interpreted as the age of gold mineralization at Rushan. The age of SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating with 160±3 Ma from host rock Kunyushan monzogranite is different from that of the gold mineralization, indicating that there is no genetic relationship between gold mineralization and the granitic magmatism. SHRIMP U-Pb dating on hydrothermal zircons from auriferous quartz veins could be used to con- strain the timing of lode gold mineralization and the rela- tionship to relevant hydrothermal event.展开更多
