Neoproterozoic ana texts of the yunkai metamorphic Complex; Evidence from U-Pb geochronology of zircon in migniatite北大核心CSCD

In order to determine the migmatization time of the Preeambrian metamorphic basement(the Yunkai metamorphic complex) of the Yunkai terrain, a study of LA-MC-1CP-MS U-Pb dating of zircon in matrixes and felsic veins of mig-matites from the Tiantangshan Group. Results show that the inherited magmatic cores of zircon grains from the matrix of migmatite have oscillatory zoning and yield a U-Pb age of 1086 ±24 Ma, representing the pmtolith age, whereas the metamprohic rims of zircon grains from the felsic vein of migmatite yield an age of 852. 6±8. 8 Ma, representing the timing of the anatex is (migmatization). These results imply that there is a Mesoproterozoic metamorphic basement with a Neoproterozoic anatexis event in the Yunkai area. The timing of this anatexis event is consistent with that of the Sibao Movement. Therefore, we conclude that the timing of the anataxis could be an important geological record for the amalgamation of the Yangtze and Cathaysian blocks.
