In Situ U-Pb Geochronology of Calcite from the World’s Largest Antimony Deposit at Xikuangshan, Southern China

In Situ U-Pb Geochronology of Calcite from the World’s Largest Antimony Deposit at Xikuangshan, Southern China

The Xikuangshan antimony (Sb) deposit is the world’s largest known Sb deposit. Due to the lack of suitable minerals for reliable high-precision radiometric dating, it remains difficult to determine the exact age of Sb mineralization in this deposit. Here, we report the first LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb ages o...
