Genesis of zircon and its constraints on interpretation of U-Pb age

Y Wu, Y Zheng - Chinese Science Bulletin, 2004 - Springer
Zircon U-Pb dating is the most commonly used method for isotopic geochronology.
However, it has been a difficult issue when relating zircon U-Pb ages to metamorphic …

Diffusion in zircon

DJ Cherniak, EB Watson - Reviews in mineralogy and …, 2003 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Despite its low abundance in most rocks, zircon is extraordinarily useful in interpreting
crustal histories. The importance of U-Th-Pb isotopic dating of zircon is well and long …

[HTML][HTML] Strategies towards statistically robust interpretations of in situ U–Pb zircon geochronology

CJ Spencer, CL Kirkland, RJM Taylor - Geoscience Frontiers, 2016 - Elsevier
Zircon U–Pb geochronology has become a keystone tool across Earth science, arguably

Pb diffusion in zircon

DJ Cherniak, EB Watson - Chemical Geology, 2001 - Elsevier
Diffusion of Pb was characterized in natural and synthetic zircon under a range of
conditions. In most experiments, mixtures of Pb sulfate and ground zircon were used as the …

Internal morphology, habit and U-Th-Pb microanalysis of amphibolite-to-granulite facies zircons: geochronology of the Ivrea Zone (Southern Alps)

G Vavra, R Schmid, D Gebauer - Contributions to Mineralogy and …, 1999 - Springer
Several types of growth morphologies and alteration mechanisms of zircon crystals in the
high-grade metamorphic Ivrea Zone (IZ) are distinguished and attributed to magmatic …

Re-equilibration of zircon in aqueous fluids and melts

T Geisler, U Schaltegger, F Tomaschek - Elements, 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Natural zircon crystals often show complex secondary textures that cut across primary
growth zones. In zircon showing structural damage caused by self-irradiation, such textures …

Early-middle Archaean crustal evolution deduced from Lu-Hf and U-Pb isotopic studies of single zircon grains

Y Amelin, DC Lee, AN Halliday - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2000 - Elsevier
We report detailed high precision combined single grain U-Pb and Lu-Hf studies of early
zircons to obtain more reliable indications of the extent of mantle depletion and crustal …

Zircon formation versus zircon alteration—new insights from combined U–Pb and Lu–Hf in-situ LA-ICP-MS analyses, and consequences for the interpretation of …
