| 1 | Genesis of zircon and its constraints on interpretation of U-Pb age显示文摘Zircon U-Pb dating is the most commonly used method for isotopic geochronology. 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. | WUYuanbao ZHENGYongfei | 2004 | Chinese Science Bulletin2004，49，15： | 723 |
| 2 | Preliminary study of micro-scale zircon oxygen isotopes for Dabie-Sulu metamorphic rocks:Ion probe in situ analyses显示文摘in situ analyses of oxygen isotopes were carried out by ion micro-probe for zircons from 8 localities of HP-UHP metamorphic rocks including eclogites in the Dabie-Sulu terrane. The results show significant heterogene-ity in d 18O values, with variation in different rocks from 8.5 to +9.7 and within one sample from 2 to 12. No measurable difference in d 18O was observed between proto-lith magmatic (detrital) zircons and metamorphic recrystal-lized zircons within analytical uncertainties from the ion micro-probe measurements. This indicates that the meta-morphic zircons have inherited the oxygen isotopic composi-tions of protolith zircons despite the HP to UHP metamor-phism. According to their protolith ages from zircon U-Pb in situ dating by the same ion micro-probe, two groups of oxy-gen isotope composition are recognized, with one having d 18O values of 6—7 for old protolith of 1.9—2.5 Ga ages and the other 0—2 for young protolith of 0.7—0.8 Ga ages. The latter anomalously low d 18O values of zircons in-dicate that the magma has had the obvious involvement of meteoric water when forming the young protolith of high-grade metamorphic rocks. This may be correlated with the snowball Earth event occurring in South China and the world elsewhere during the Neoproterozoic. | CHENDaogong DelouleEtienne CHENGHao XIAQunke WUYuanbao | 2003 | Chinese Science Bulletin2003，48，16： | 12 |
