Abstract:
There are many discrepancies about the age of pre-Cambrian strata in the central Tarim basin. In order to get the correct isotopic age,SHRIMP U- Pb zircon dating of pre-Cambriam basement granodiorite from Tacan 1 well in the central uplift zone of the Tarim basin was carried out, yielding an age of 757.4±6.2 Ma. This could be the evidence that it is the result of the magmatic activity during middle Nanhuan Epoch. These results provide practical information for further detailed and systematic study of the preCambrian basement of Tarim basin.
