Zircons collected from a granitic pluton provide evidence of serial growth events with specific mechanisms, crystallization temperatures and U–Pb ages, revealing details of the sequential formation process from intrusion through emplacement to crystallization/solidification. The events have been identified by: 1) the study of the internal structure of zircon using cathodoluminescence, 2) deriving crystallization temperatures using Ti–in–zircon thermometry of the internal structure and 3) U–Pb age dating of the internal structure. The magmatic zircons from the Toki granite, central Japan, show two kinds in their internal structure: a low luminescence core (LLC) and oscillatory zonation (OZ). The LLC was produced by interfacial reaction–controlled growth in the granitic magma with cooling from about 910 to 760 °C. The formation of OZ occurred by diffusion–controlled growth in a cooling magma chamber from about 850 to 690 °C. The U–Pb ages derived from the LLC ranges from 74.7 ± 4.2 to 70.5 ± 1.3 Ma, indicating the incipient intrusion timing of the magma into the shallow crust. The OZ ages distribute from 72.7 ± 0.6 to 70.4 ± 1.7 Ma, which mean the timing from emplacement to crystallization/solidification of the granite pluton. Thus, the serial processes from intrusion through emplacement to crystallization/solidification occurred within a few million years. The old LLC and OZ ages are recognized in the western margins of the Toki granite, implying that the magma forming the western margins was the first to intrude, emplace and crystallize/solidify. The western margins with initial intrusion may accompany the crustal assimilation in order to create sufficient magma reservoir space, which is consistent with larger SrI and ASI values found in the western margins of the granite.

We report on the development of a software program named iQuant2 which creates visual images from two-dimensional signal intensity data obtained by a laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) technique. Time-resolved signal intensity profiles can be converted to position resolved signal intensity data based on the rastering rate (μm s−1) of the laser ablation. Background signal intensities obtained without laser ablation (gas blank) are used as the background, and all of the blank-subtracted intensity data can be used for the imaging analysis. With this software, deformation of the created image can be corrected visually on a PC screen. The line profile analysis between the user-selected points can be observed using the iQuant2 software. To accomplish this, data points on the profile line were automatically calculated based on the interpolation between the analysis points. The resulting imaging data can be exported and stored as JPEG, BMP or PNG formats for further processing. Moreover, a semi-quantitative analysis can be made based on the coupling of the external correction of the RSF (relative sensitivity factor) using NIST SRM610 with normalization of the corrected signal intensity data being 100%. The calculated abundance data for major elements are in reasonable agreement with the values obtained by electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA). With the software developed in this study, both the rapid imaging and semi-quantitative determinations can be made.
