Abstract
Two pyrite samples from the Shihezi Formation Lower Permian Huaibei coalfield Anhui China have been analyzed for abundances and isotopic compositions of rhenium and osmium using negative thermal ion mass spectrometry The Re–Os ages of the pyrites are 644 and 226 Ma which are younger than the formation age of the coal seam The pyrite samples may consist of pyrite formed at various stages during the history of coal formation The γOs values of the two pyrite samples are + 17 and + 18 respectively Such high γOs values are reported for the first time for recycles crustal materials from a sedimentary basin
