Zirconium-gafnium indicator for rocks of the Badiayu massif (the Submpolar Urals)

Abstract

The zirconium-hafnium ratio is the most important indicator value, the analysis of which allows not only to divide zircon and mineral-containing rock into early and late generation, but also to determine the temperature regime of mineral and granite formation. The presented article shows the results of the application of the Zr-Hf geothermometer for granites of the Badiayu massif. According to the analysis of marker values, the rocks were formed at temperatures from 763 ° C to 928 ° C.
