Zircon U-Pb ages have been determined for basement gneisses in the Bayan Obo REE-Fe-Nb deposit. On the U-Pb concordia diagram data of three samples yield up-per intercept ages of 1948-1917 Ma. Thus, these basement gne...
THE origin of the giant Bayan Obo REE-Nb-Fe ore deposit has been under much debate since its discoveryas an iron deposit by Prof. Ding Daoheng in 1927. The main dispute is concentrated on the genesis of theore-hosted ...
Ba-REE fluorcarbonate minerals from a carbonatite dyke at Bayan Obo, Inner Mongolia, North China, are first reported in this contribution, in which chemical composition, rare earth element (REE) patterns, and intergro...
Rare earth element fluorocarbonate minerals such as bastnaesite and parisite are firstly discovered in carbonatite dykes from Bayan Obo, Inner Mongolia, China. Bastnaesite rarely occurs as homogeneously single crystal...
