In-Situ SHRIMP U-Pb Dating of Xenotime Outgrowth on Detrital Zircon Grains from the Changzhougou Formation of the Ming Tomb District, Beijing

摘要

SHRIMP U-Pb dating of diagenetic xenotime from sedimentary rocks has provided age constraints for sedimentary diagenesis(Mc Naughton et al.,1999;Fletcher et al.,2000;England et al.,2001;Rasmussen et al.,2004;Vallini et al.,2007).Xenotime(YPO4)may grow during early diagenesis,typically being present as a trace constituent in siliciclastic sedimentary rocks(Rasmussen,2005),in the form of syntaxial outgrowths on detrital zircon grains.Diagenetic xenotime occurs in
