Description

Method for discriminating origin type of zircon by using zircon structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of zircon type identification, and particularly relates to a method for judging a zircon cause type by using a zircon structure.
Background
Because the zircon is stable in physical and chemical properties, low in common lead content, rich in uranium and thorium, low in ion diffusion rate and high in sealing temperature (>800 ℃), the zircon becomes the most ideal target for U-Pb fixed years. In addition, zircon is commonly found in various types of rock, and zircon samples are easily sorted. Thus, zircon has become a powerful tool in geological research, and the zircon U-Pb method has been the most common method for geologists to discuss the occurrence time of geological events. With the development of scientific technology, researchers found that different zircon grains and different regions of the same zircon grain in the same geologic body had different causes. Therefore, the cause type of the zircon is judged, and the obtained zircon U-Pb age is scientifically and reasonably explained, so that the method is very important for understanding the geological action process and promoting the development of earth science.
Zircon belongs to the tetragonal system, is an island silicate, and the combination characteristics of regular and variable crystal faces make it a typical morphological standard mineral. The size of the zircon crystals depends on the zirconium content of the initial magma, and the crystal morphology of zircon is determined by the physicochemical conditions under which it crystallizes and the internal structure of the crystals. The basic morphological characteristics of zircon can reveal its history in the rock and, based thereon, reasonably account for the age values obtained, and zircon morphological studies are of considerable interest to researchers. Researchers have determined the type of cause of zircon by studying its morphology using methods such as zircon length, width, aspect ratio and frequency profile, zircon cylinder, cone and elongation index, flatness, elongation, cylinder and cone index, and the like. The above method for studying zircon morphology requires a lot of time and effort for researchers, occupies a long time of instruments and equipment, and is not easy to be mastered by primary researchers, without detailed observation under the mirror and a lot of statistics and analysis. With the development of science and technology, by utilizing a zircon Back Scattering Electron (BSE) image and a cathodoluminescence electron (CL) image, the internal structure of zircon can be effectively disclosed so as to judge the cause type of zircon, errors caused by artificial statistics are avoided, and the method has the characteristics of economy, simplicity and convenience in operation, short determination time and the like. Therefore, it is very meaningful and effective to identify the cause of zircon using zircon backscattered electron (BSE) images and cathodoluminescent electron (CL) images.
