An Unusually Warm Upper‐Crust in the Late Paleozoic North China Continental Arc: Implications for the Thermal Modification of the Giant Bayan Obo REE Deposit

An Unusually Warm Upper‐Crust in the Late Paleozoic North China Continental Arc: Implications for the Thermal Modification of the Giant Bayan Obo REE Deposit

Abstract The genesis and timing of formation of the giant Bayan Obo deposit, the world's largest rare earth element (REE) deposit in the western part of the late Paleozoic northern North China continental arc (NCA), are highly controversial due to complex mineral assemblages and reported ages o...
