Abstract
En 中文
• Phlogopite RbSr dating constrains magnetite-related skarn mineralization at ~137 Ma. • Garnet chemistry records a shift from early restricted to late more open, high-flux skarn conditions. • Strong positive Eu anomalies and LREE enrichment indicate increasingly oxidized, Cl−-rich and more acidic ore-forming fluids. • Garnet compositional vectors provide indicators for Cu–Fe–Au skarn exploration.
