Recent advances in our ability to resolve the PTt (pressure-temperature-time) paths of
orogenic terranes have continued to re-emphasize the common marriage between petrology …

Abstract The 176 Lu–176 Hf radioactive decay system has been widely used to study
planetary crust–mantle differentiation. Of considerable utility in this regard is zircon, a …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

We introduce a potential new working reference material–natural zircon megacrysts from an
Early Pliocene alkaline basalt (from Penglai, northern Hainan Island, southern China)–for …

The titanium concentrations of 484 zircons with U-Pb ages of∼ 1 Ma to 4.4 Ga were
measured by ion microprobe. Samples come from 45 different igneous rocks (365 zircons) …

Late Permian to Triassic (“Indosinian-aged”) orogenesis and associated magmatism are
widespread in southeastern China, but their causes and significance to the regional …

The Ti content of zircon (ZrSiO 4) can be used as a geothermometer. Ti could substitute for
Si or Zr in zircon, which would result in opposing responses of Ti solubility to (i) the activities …

A new model describing zircon saturation in silicate melts is presented that combines the
results of 196 data from new experiments with data from previous experimental studies. In …

High precision and accuracy with in situ analysis has been a “holy grail” for generations of
stable isotope geochemists who employed a range of strategies for separation of …

Zircons within the mineralized, silica-pyrite zone of the Gidginbung (Temora) high-
sulphidation Au–Ag–(Cu) deposit in the Lachlan Orogen, Australia have been analyzed by …
