Geochronological research of granite sample KS-2. (a) Position photo of the biotite monzonitic granite sample in the field of Kunsai Quarry. (b) The zircon grows together with the microcline CPL. (c) The microstructure of complete recrystallized quartz indicates the rock once experienced high-greenschist facies of deformation, CPL. (d) One biotite crystal is folded, PPL. (e) Magmatic zircon is shown by the SEM cathodoluminescence (CL) image. The circled area is deduced to form during the crystallization of granite and is just the measured area by laser-ICPMS (f) Zircon La-ICPMs U-Pb dating figure, and the average age is about 220 Ma.
