An apatite sample separated from the 3.8 Ga (zircon SHRIMP U-Th-Pb age) meta-quartz-diorite sample in Anshan area has been dated using SHRIMP II. 32 analyses yielded a 207Pb/206Pb weighted mean age of 3007 ± 22 Ma that is interpreted as the age of recrystallization of the apatite during the very intense thermo-tectonic events at ~ 3.0 Ga in the Anshan area. In the Anshan area a series of crustal addition and other thermo-tectonic events took place after 3.0 Ga, however, no younger than 3.0 Ga apatite has been found in the 3.8 Ga old rock in the area so far. It is generally believed that the recrystallization temperature of apatite is between 400℃ and 500℃. Therefore it seems that the 3.8 Ga old rock in the Anshan area has always been staying in the upper lithosphere and never went down to the depth greater than 13 km since 3.0 Ga.
