Combined with Th/U and Ce/Lu ratios, rare earth element (REE) patterns and 206Pb/238U ages, Ti-in-zircon geothermometers can be used to distinguish the thermal evolution of eclogites during the UHP metamorphism. Zircons of 745 ± 8.0 Ma (2σ, n = 3) show evidence of the temperatures at which they crystallized from the original magma. Zircons of 240 ± 7.0 Ma (2σ, n = 11) with flat HREE patterns suggest a definite temperature range (689 ± 18 °C (2σ, n = 11)) for the prograde metamorphism. Although 226 Ma is generally considered the time of the peak UHP metamorphism for the Dabie–Sulu orogen, except for a few grains with a maximum temperature of 744 °C, most of the 226 ± 2.0 Ma (2σ, n = 12) zircons indicate lower temperatures (average = 698 ± 12 °C (2σ, n = 12)). These data imply that the 226 Ma zircons were probably not products of the peak UHP metamorphism, but might instead be associated with the pressure decrease in the post-peak metamorphism. The youngest zircons (< 220 Ma) provide evidence for temperatures (682 ± 14 °C (2σ, n = 11)) associated with the retrograde metamorphism. Geothermometers that incorporate both rutile and zircon indicate that there may have been experienced a locally short-lived heating event for eclogites from the CCSD-MH.
