“…However, SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating has indicated that the oldest protoliths are Mesoproterozoic and that the complex underwent metamorphism in the Early Palaeozoic at ~500 Ma (Wilde et al, 1997, 2000). Recently, the new data obtained by SIMS and LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb dating techniques confirm the findings of Yang et al (Yang, Ge, et al, 2018; Yang, Liang, et al, 2021; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Xu, et al, 2020; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Zhang, et al, 2020; Yang, Zheng, et al, 2021) that the Mashan Complex reveals that the dated rocks of the Mashan Complex at Linkou–Boli dominantly formed in the Late Neoproterozoic–Early Palaeozoic (i.e., Pan‐African) and not in the Paleoproterozoic as previously mapped (HBGMR, 1993).…”

“…Scholars generally considered that the metamorphic zonation is not related to the depth of burial but to variations in heat flow (Cao et al, 1992; Geng et al, 2016; Jiang, 1992; Lu et al, 1996; Wilde et al, 1999; Ren et al, 2012). The available data suggest that the Mashan Complex in the Jiamusi Massif underwent regional metamorphism characterized by a clockwise P–T path (Guo et al, 2014; Jiang, 1992; Lennon, 1997; Lu et al, 1996; Yang, Liang, et al, 2021; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Xu, et al, 2020; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Zhang, et al, 2020; Yang, Zheng, et al, 2021). Recent SHRIMP U–Pb zircon dating results indicate that their protoliths were formed during Meso‐Neoproterozoic time and underwent granulite‐facies metamorphism at ca.…”

“…North‐east China (NE China) is located in the easternmost segment of the CAOB and comprises the Erguna, Xing'an, Songliao and Jiamusi massifs from west to east, which are bounded to each other by deep faults (Figure 1b; Wilde, Dorsett‐Bain, & Liu, 1997; Wilde, Zhang, & Wu, 2000; Wu et al, 2007; Xu, Charvet, Chen, Zhao, & Shi, 2013; Xu, Pei, et al, 2013; Zhou et al, 2009). The Jiamusi Massif comprises of three different rock components: the Mashan Complex, the Heilongjiang Complex, Neoproterozoic orthogneisses, and early and late Palaeozoic granitoids (Figure 2a; Li et al, 1999; Li, 2006; Wilde et al, 1997; Wilde et al, 2000; Wilde, Wu, & Zhang, 2001; Wilde, Wu, & Zhang, 2003; Wu et al, 2007; Wu, Wilde, & Sun, 2001; Yang et al, 2017; Yang, Ge, et al, 2018; Yang, Liang, et al, 2021; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Xu, et al, 2020; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Zhang, et al, 2020; Yang, Zheng, et al, 2021; Yang, Zheng, Xu, Han, & Guo, 2018). Among them, the Mashan Complex with higher research levels and more contentious issues, are characterized by graphite‐bearing, Al‐rich and phosphorus‐bearing rocks, and are mainly composed of Al‐rich pelitic rocks, felsic rocks, and calc‐silicate rocks.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that the Mashan Complex can be divided into Jixi–Mishan–Hulin granulite facies belt and Luobei–Huanan–Mudanjiang amphibolite facies belt according to the metamorphism degree, and the P–T path of the granulite‐facies metamorphism is clockwise (Guo et al, 2014; Jiang, 1992; Lennon, 1997; Lu et al, 1996; Yang, Liang, et al, 2021; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Xu, et al, 2020; Yang, Liang, Zheng, Zhang, et al, 2020; Yang, Zheng, et al, 2021). However, its evolutionary tracks of prograde and post‐peak metamorphism are very far from each study or researcher, which lead to significant divergences in the mechanism of geodynamics (Lu et al, 1996; Ren et al, 2012; Wilde, Helen, Dorsett, & Lennon, 1999).…”

The Mashan Complex of the Jiamusi Massif was traditionally considered as the oldest stratigraphic sequence in eastern NE China. However, the metamorphic degree of the Mashan Complex is different in different areas, which can be divided into Jixi-Mishan-Hulin granulite facies belt and Luobei-Huanan-Mudanjiang amphibolite facies belt. Here, we investigated the Mashan Complex in the Yilan area and present lots of new petrological, mineral chemical, geochemical, and U-Pb geochronological data, in addition to phase equilibria modelling, to constrain the timing of metamorphism, P-T conditions, and the P-T path of the Mashan Complex, and furthermore to deduce the crustal evolution of the Jiamusi Massif. The protoliths of the Mashan Complex in the Yilan area are greywackes and felsic sandstones, whose provenance is dominantly felsic rocks formed from a continental island arc. Petrographic observations, traditional thermobarometry, and quantitative phase equilibria modelling of the studied samples reveal P-T conditions from M 2 to M 3 of ~7.2 kbar/760-800 C and 4.5-5.0 kbar/585-610 C, respectively, which together define a clockwise P-T path involving decompressional cooling (M 3 ) that followed the peak granulite-facies metamorphism (M 2 ). It reveals essential information related to the collision orogeny and post-collision process. Zircon U-Pb dating of two felsic rocks yielded the peak of the granulite-facies metamorphism in the Yilan area of the Jiamusi Massif that might have occurred at ~500 Ma. The overall deposition of the metamorphic rocks was later than ~760 Ma and that most of the detrital materials came from late Mesoproterozoic and early Neoproterozoic source rocks.

“…The U-Pb system is extremely resistant to thermal overprinting (>900 • C; [22]) and is, therefore, unaffected by thermal events when the most suitable mineral, zircon, is analyzed. These advantages and improvements in the technology of LA-ICP-MS made it a rapid, precise and accurate method for U-Pb geochronology which has recently been extended [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The combination of U-Pb and FT methods could provide insights on history of the provenance that has undergone metamorphism.…”

Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is classically used in U-Pb dating to measure U and Pb isotopic concentrations. Recently, it has become frequently used in fission-track (FT) chronometry too. As an advantage, the U-Pb and FT double dating will enable efficiently determining the crystallization ages and the thermo-tectonic history concurrently as samples volume, analytical time, efforts, and cost will be greatly reduced. To demonstrate the validity of this approach, a Younger granite (Ediacaran age) sample from North Eastern Desert (NED), Egypt was analyzed for U-Pb and FT double dating. The integration of multiple geochronologic data yielded a zircon U-Pb crystallization age of 599 ± 30 Ma, after emplacement, the rock cooled /uplifted rapidly to depths of 9–14 km as response to the post-Pan African Orogeny erosional event as indicated by apatite U-Pb age of 474 ± 9 Ma. Afterwards, the area experienced a slow cooling/exhumation for a short period, most-likely as response to denudation effect. During the Devonian, the area was rapidly exhumed to reach depths of 1.5–3 km as response to the Hercynian tectonic event, as indicated by a zircon FT age of 347 ± 16 Ma. Then the studied sample has experienced a relatively long period of thermal stability between the Carboniferous and the Eocene. During the Oligocene-Miocene, the Gulf of Suez opening event affected the area by crustal uplift to its current elevation. This integration of Orogenic and thermo-tectonic information reveals the validity, efficiency, and importance of double dating of U-Pb and FT techniques using LA-ICP-MS methodology.

Trace element fingerprints preserved in zircons offer clues to their origin and crystallization conditions. Numerous geochemical indicators have been established to evaluate the source rock characteristics from a geochemical perspective; however, multivariate trace element data have not been sufficiently investigated statistically. As substantial amounts of zircon data from a wide range of rock types have become accessible over the past few decades, it is now essential to reassess the utility of trace elements in discriminating source rock types. We employed a new zircon trace element dataset and established classification models to distinguish eight types of source rocks: igneous (acidic, intermediate, basic, kimberlite, carbonatite, and nepheline syenite), metamorphic, and hydrothermal. Whereas a conventional decision tree analysis was unable to correctly classify the new dataset, the random forest and support vector machine algorithms achieved high-precision classifications (> 80% precision, recall, and F1 score). This work confirms that trace element composition is a helpful tool for province studies and mineral exploration using detrital zircons. However, the compiled dataset with many missing values leaves room for improving the models. Trace elements, such as P and Sc, which cannot be measured by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, are vital for more accurate classification.
