Precambrian geology of China
Guochun Zhao,Peter A. Cawood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic architecture and multiple orogeny of the Qinling Orogenic Belt, Central China
TL;DR: The Qinling Orogenic Belt (QOB) as mentioned in this paper is a composite orogenic belt that witnessed four major episodes of accretion and collision between discrete continental blocks, such as the North China Block, North Qinling Block and the South China Block.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic evolution of a composite collision orogen: An overview on the Qinling–Tongbai–Hong'an–Dabie–Sulu orogenic belt in central China
Yuan-Bao Wu,Yong-Fei Zheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of regional geology, geochronology and geochemistry for the composite orogenic belt of the Qinling-Tongbai-Hong'an orogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ simultaneous determination of trace elements, U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes in zircon and baddeleyite
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined method of simultaneously measuring U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes as well as trace elements in Phalaborwa baddeleyite and 91500, GJ-1, TEMORA-1 and SK10-2 zircons was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrogenesis and tectonic significance of the ~850 Ma Gangbian alkaline complex in South China: Evidence from in situ zircon U-Pb dating, Hf-O isotopes and whole-rock geochemistry
TL;DR: The Gangbian alkaline complex as discussed by the authors is composed of Si-undersaturated pyroxene syenites and Si-saturated to -oversaturated syenite and quartz monzonites.

Three natural zircon standards for u‐th‐pb, lu‐hf, trace element and ree analyses
M. Wiedenbeck,P. Allé,Fernando Corfu,William L. Griffin,M. Meier,F. Oberli,A. von Quadt,J.C. Roddick,W. Spiegel +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a study to develop natural zircon geochemical standards for calibrating the U-(Th)-Pb geochronometer and Hf isotopic analyses are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction of common lead in U-Pb analyses that do not report 204Pb
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a correction method that neither uses 204Pb nor assumes concordance, but uses a numeric solution to a set of equations relating the content of radiogenic lead in a zircon or other U/Th-enriched mineral to its total lead content.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hf isotope composition of cratonic mantle: LAM-MC-ICPMS analysis of zircon megacrysts in kimberlites
William L. Griffin,William L. Griffin,Norman J. Pearson,Elena Belousova,Simon E. Jackson,E. van Achterbergh,Suzanne Y. O'Reilly,S. R. Shee +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the isotopic composition of Hf has been measured in 124 mantle-derived zircon megacrysts from African, Siberian and Australian kimberlites, using a laser-ablation microprobe (LAM) and a multi-collector ICPMS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry of chondrites and the evolution of the mantle-crust system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a new set of present-day mean values in chondrites of176Hf/177Hf = 0.282772 ± 29 and176Lu/177 Hf= 0.0332 ± 2.
