Garnet U-Pb and O isotopic determinations reveal a shear-zone induced hydrothermal system

Abstract The absolute crystallization ages of minerals from hydrothermal fluids measured in situ can unravel the timing of key events leading to the formation of, for instance, ore deposits and hydrothermally derived geological terrains. In this study, a skarn iron deposit from northwest (NW) China...
