In situ LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronology and trace element analysis of hydrothermal titanite from the Jiepai W-Cu deposit, South China: Implications for W mineralization

Titanite is associated with scheelite in altered biotite granite, clinopyroxene skarn, actinolite skarn, clinozoisite skarn, and quartz veins in the Jiepai W-Cu deposit, South China. Textural and geochemical characteristics indicate a hydrothermal origin for the titanite. There is compositional variability with respect to the rare earth element (REE) and high field strength element (HFSE) components in titanite from the different rock types....
