The Application of Zircon Study in Geological Science

As the most important accessory mineral in many kinds of rocks, zircon is stable under metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration. It has been widely used in the study of petrogenesis and isotopic dating. The zircon Morphology, U-Pb isotopic dating, trace elements, Lu-Hf isotope and oxygen isotope provide important information for the genesis and evolvement of geologic events.
