Zircon U-Pb dating of a tuff from the lower Taishanmiao Formation in the Nanzhao Basin， Northern Qinling and its geological significance by LIU Chao, LIANG Tian, YANG Wentao, CHEN Hao, LIU Xiaoxiao, AN Haihua, LI Xin, MA Qiangfen

“…It is possible that this Carnian pluvial event was recorded in the Taishanmiao Formation of the Nanzhao Basin， Northern Qinling.ObjectivesTo accurately determine the sedimentary age of the Taishanmiao Formation and highlight its geological significance，Methodslaser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry （LA-ICP-MS） was used for U-Pb isotopic dating analysis on zircons from a tuff bed located in the lower part of the Taishanmiao Formation.ResultsThe results show that zircons from the tuff are granular and short columnar in shape， non-rounded， and exhibit an obvious oscillating ring structure in their cathodoluminescence images. Based on the CL image and Th/U ratios， it is considered that the 18 zircons from the tuff in the lower part of the Taishanmiao Formation are of volcanic origin. …”
