This meaningful discovery offers sufficient evidence for settling the protracted dispute over the ore-forming age of the Shilu iron deposits, and will be of great help for better understanding the evolutional history of geology and tectonics, as well as the further ore-prospecting of the Shilu-type iron-deposits both in the island and South China.展开更多
