Abstract:Tabutou rare earth deposit is located in the southwest of Laixi city. It is a small type of pegmatite rare earth deposit. The oreforming conditions in the area are very favorable and have good prospecting prospects. Through comprehensive analysis on geological characteristics of Tajutou rare earth deposit, the metallogenic epoch has been determined, the metallogenic model has been established, and the origin of the deposit has been discussed. It is pointed out that Tabutou rare earth deposit is a small pegmatite type rare earth deposit. The main rare earth mineral of bastnaesite is encapsulated in feldspar. The weighted average ages of ThPb of bastnaesite from two samples are (128.5+2.0) Ma and (134.4+1.2) Ma. The metallogenic elements of Tabutou rare earth deposit are divided into four essential elements and three important elements. It is considered that Mesozoic rare earth hydrothermal metallogenic event in Tabutou is formed during the cooling process of pegmatite intrusion into wall rocks.
