Both Sm and Nd are similar in ionic radius and in chemical properties, the daughter 143 Nd decayed by the parent 147 Sm through α-process can occupy the same site in mineral lattice as its parent, thus Sm-Nd isotope systematics is easily be closed and can resist later alteration and weathering. However, Sm-Nd chronometer has predominately been applied in Precambrian geochronological studies in the past, few similar applications have been carried out on hydrothermal mineralization, and the dated objectives are mainly restricted in meteorite, lunar rocks, ancient ultrabasic and basic rocks, and Precambrian metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Some researches in recent years indicate that, some hydrothermal Ca-bearing minerals display relatively high REE concentrations and obvious Sm/Nd fractionation, and show great potentials in precisely dating various hydrothermal mineralization. Sm-Nd isotope dating studies on fluorite, scheelite, calcite and tourmaline are summarized in this paper, and their further application in hydrothermal deposits are expected, which aims to promote the development of Sm-Nd isotope geochronology in China.
