Methods recently advanced for discrimination on the genesis of metamorphic zircon, such as analysis of mineral inclusions and trace elements, provide us powerful means to distinguish zircon overgrowth during high-pressure metamorphism. Zircons in ultrahigh-pressure eclogite from Qinglongshan in the Sulu terrane were studied by the SHRIMP U-Pb method in combining with trace element and mineral inclusion analyses. No inherited core was identified in the analyzed zircons by means of cathodoluminescence images. The occurrence of high-pressure metamorphic mineral inclusions in zircon, such as garnet, omphacite, rutile, and the flat HREE pattern in zircon indicate that the zircon formed at high-pressure metamorphic conditions. Therefore, a weighted average U-Pb age of 227.4 ± 3.5 Ma obtained from such a kind of zircon is interpreted to represent the timing of peak metamorphism for the Qinglongshan eclogite.

The U-Pb isotope compositions of rutile, omphacite and garnet in the eclogite from the Jinheqiao area in the Southern Dabie ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic zone were analyzed. The consistent high precision U-Pb age (218 ±1.2) Ma of rutile in eclogite from the Dabie Mountains was obtained by two ways of isochron and common Pb correction based on the composition of omphacite. This proves that the omphacite in eclogite has a U/Pb ratio (μ = 2.8) low enough to be used for common Pb correction in the analyses of rutile. Under the rapid cooling condition (40 °C/Ma) the closure temperature for U-Pb diffusion in rutile is about 470 °C. Thus, this U-Pb age of rutile proves that 218 Ma should be the cooling age of eclogite at 470 °C instead of the peak metamorphic age.

A stony meteorite fell in Lujiang County, Anhui Province. Its falling, minerals, chon-drules, shock metamorphism and oxidation are simply revealed. The meteorite is composed of olivine, bronzite, diopside, clinoenstatite, plagioclase, muscovite, phlogopite, whit-lockite, ka-macite, taenite, troilite, chromite, ilmenite and oxides of iron. Based on its characteristics of mineralogical chemistry and petrology, the chemical rock type of the meteorite is LL6.

There are three kinds of occurrence of pleonaste, a rare meteoritic mineral, totally found in Boxian meteorite. They are as the following: (i) occurring in the inner circle of the chondrule edge, of which a circle texture is composed; (ii) occurring in the state of inclusions, included in an olivine chondrule, with close paragenesis of wadsleyite; (iii) occurring in the state of porphyry. The chondrule in the first occurrence belongs to CA chondrules. The chemical compositions of pleonaste are heterogeneity except for the atomic ratios of Fe/(Mg+ Fe), which can be attributed to the following reasons: (i) they are congenetic minerals; (ii) the heterogeneity of the compositions of the solar clouds in the early states; (iii) the chondrites are the multiple-stage evolution; (iv) the further proof of Boxian meteorite is an unequilibrium common chondrite.
