Zircon U-Pb SHRIMP Isotopic Dating of Granitic Garnet-Biotite Gneiss of the Aojiao Group at Aojiao Village of Dongshan County, Fujian Province, and Its Geological Significance
摘要
In this paper, the authors conducted zircon U-Pb SHRIMP isotopic dating of the granitic garnet-biotite gneiss of the Aojiao Group at Aojiao Village of Dongshan County in Fujian Province. The Th/U ratios in the range of 0.31~1.01 (0.48 on average) show that the zircon is a typical magmatic mineral. The weighted mean 206Pb/238U age is (152.8±1.6) Ma (n=17, MSWD=1.12), which is considered to be the formation age of the gneiss. Some conclusions have been reached: 1) the granitic garnet-biotite gneiss of the Aojiao Group was formed in Late Jurassic rather than in pre-Devonian; and 2) the Qinyingshan Formation of the Aojiao Group should be divided into metamorphic intrusions and metamorphic sedimentary strata.
