Timing of the Early Paleozoic Yangtze and Cathysian Convergence： Constraint from U-Pb Geochronology of Hydrothermal Zircons from Mafic Mylonite within the Shoucheng-Piaoli Ductile Shear Zone, Northern Guangxi

Objective The northern Guangxi region is in the southwestern part of the Southern China continent,which is located at the junction of the southwest section of the Early Paleozoic Yangtze block and Cathaysian block.A series of NNE-trending ductile shear zones are developed in this region,and these ductile shear zones are mostly previously suggested boundary faults of the Early Paleozoic Yangtze block and Cathaysian block,such as the Shoucheng–Piaoli ductile shear zone in Northern Guangxi （Meng Yuanku et al., 2016; Zhang Xuefeng et al., 2015）.

Hydrothermal Zircon Geochronology in the Shangxu Gold Deposit and its Implication for the Early Cretaceous Orogenic Gold Mineralization in the Middle Bangonghu–Nujiang Suture Zone

As a typical orogenic gold deposit in Tibet,Shangxu gold deposit is located at the Bangong Lake–Nujiang River Metallogenic Belt in the south of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.In this paper,zircon U-Pb dating,trace elements and Hf isotopic analysis were performed on Au-bearing quartz veins in the Shangxu gold deposit.Zircons from Au-bearing quartz veins can be divided into three types:detrital,magmatic,and hydrothermal zircons.There are two age peaks in detrital zircons:ca.1700 Ma and ca.2400 Ma.There are two groups of concordant ages including 157±4 Ma(MSWD=0.69)and 120±1 Ma(MSWD=0.19)in magmatic zircons,in whichεH f(t)value of ca.120 Ma from the magmatic zircons range from+8.24 to+12.9.An age of 119±2 Ma(MSWD=0.42)was yielded from hydrothermal zircons,and theirεH f(t)values vary between+15.7 and+16.4.According to sericite Ar-Ar age,this paper suggests that an age of 119±2 Ma from hydrothermal zircons represent the formation age of the Shangxu gold Deposit,and its mineralization should be related to the collision between Lhasa Block and Qiangtang Block.The metallogenic age is basically the same as the diagenetic age of Mugagangri granite,andεH f(t)value of hydrothermal zircon is significantly higher than that of the contemporaneous magmatic zircon,which indicates that there is a genetic relationship between the gold mineralization and the deep crust-mantle magmatism.

FABRICATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC BIMORPH USING LEAD ZIRCONATE TITANATE THIN FILM DEPOSITED BY HYDROTHERMAL METHOD

In order to describe the characteristics of piezoelectric bimorph, properties of lead zirconate titanate （LZT） film are studied by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning eletron microscope （SEM）. The ratio of PbTiOJPbZrO3 in LZT is 53/47, which is around morphotropic phase boundary （MPB）. LZT film is composed of cubic particles with the average size of 5 ~ma. Density of thin film is figured out through the datum measured in experiments. The displacement model used to analyze the driving ability of bimorph is set up, and the effect of elastic intermediate layer is taken into account. Piezoelectric coefficient of LZT film is worked out by using the displacement model. Experiments of driving ability show that deformation of bimorph free end does not increase with times of crystal growth processes and the maximum deformation is obtained after two times crystal growth processes. Finally, the ferroelectric property of the bimorph is investigated and coercive voltage of the bimorph is obtained.

Mineralization Ages of the Jiapigou Gold Deposits,Jilin

The Jiapigou gold deposits are typical vein type deposits associated withArchaean greenstone belts in China. According to the crosscutting relationships between dykesand auriferous veins, single hydrothermal zircon U-Pb dating and quartz K-Ar,^(40)Ar-^(39)Ar andRb-Sr datings, the main mineralization stage of the Jiapigou deposit has been determined to be2469-2475 Ma, while mineralization superimposition on the gold deposit occurred in1800-2000 Ma and 130-272 Ma. They form a mineralization framework of one oldermetallogenic epoch (Late Archaean-Early Proterozoic) and one younger metallogenic epoch(Mesozoic) of gold deposits in Archaean greenstone belts in China.

U-Pb geochronology of hydrothermal zircon from the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation on the northern margin of the North China Block and its geological implications

This paper reports LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages and REE compositions on detrital zircons （Type 1） and hydrothermal zircons （Type 2） from low-metasedimentary rocks in the Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation, Pingquan area, Hebei Province that provide important constraints on the tectonic evolution along the northern margin of the North China Block. The detrital zircons are characterized by an oscillatory magmatic core, surrounded by a narrow structureless rim in CL images. They yield 2~7pb/2~tpb ages ranging from 1703 to 2543 Ma with two age peaks at 2473 and 1794 Ma, which is consistent with the Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic tectono-thermal events recorded in the NCB basement, indicating that the source of the detritus was locally derived. By contrast, the hydrothermal ones are euhedral, sector zoning or internally structureless. They have relatively higher U and Th contents and Th/U ratios （U=139-2918 ppm, Th=35-1327 ppm, Th/U （average） =0.78 vs. U=15-1044 ppm, Th=8-341 ppm, Th/U （average） =0.57 for detrital zircons）. Moreover, they are also enriched in REEs relative to detrital zircons and show a lower positive Ce anomaly （ZREE = 659-2418 ppm vs. 231-611 ppm for detrital zircon; Ce/Ce＊=2-13 vs. 33-174 for detrital zircons）, similar to known hydrothermal zircons derived from many locations. These characteristics, combined with our field petrographic observations, indicate that the hydrothermal zircons possibly formed from a low temperature aqueous fluid. Twelve concordant or near-concordant analyses on hydrothermal zircons yield weighted mean 206pb/238U ages of 325-327 Ma, which provide unambiguous evidence that the northern NCB underwent late Paleozoic low temperature hydrothermal modification. This timing of this hydrothermal event is compatible with that of the late Paleozoic magmatic and metamorphic-deformational events occurred on the northern margin of the NCB, it appears likely that the hydrothermal activity resulted from southward subduction of the Paleo-Asian Oceanic plate underneath the NCB during late Paleozoic.
