Abstract LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS have been the techniques of choice for achieving
accurate and precise element content and isotopic ratio, the state-of-the-art technique …

Models for the growth of continental crust rely on knowing the balance between the
generation of new crust and the reworking of old crust throughout Earth's history. The …

The Lutetium–Hafnium radiogenic isotopic system is widely used as a chronometer and
tracer of planetary evolution. In order for this isotopic system to fulfill its potential in planetary …

Zircon and baddeleyite U–Pb geochronological dating is widely used in solid Earth sciences
and the advent of rapid in-situ methods of analysis, such SIMS and ICP-MS, has re …

This paper presents new major and trace-element data and Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic
compositions for representative suites of marine sediment samples from 14 drill sites …

Invited Technical Paper High quality analytical data are essential for the development of
sound scientific interpretations. To ensure the quality of the data published in Chemical …

We describe an in situ method for simultaneous measurement of U–Pb–Hf isotopes and
trace element compositions of zircons using a quadrupole and multiple-collector inductively …

Twenty four splits from two different GJ-1 reference material zircon crystals were analyzed
for their Lu and Hf concentrations, Lu/Hf and Hf isotopic compositions by solution ID-MC …

Uranium–lead ages obtained by LA-ICP-MS analyses of zircon cores from a high-grade
Armorican metasediment from the Mid-German Crystalline Rise, Central Germany, yield …

In this study we demonstrate that the combination of U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotope data obtained
by laser ablation-inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometry provides a powerful tool for …
