Detrital zircon geochronology is rapidly develo** into an essential tool in Earth science
research because of the widespread occurrence of zircon in sedimentary systems; the wide …

Zircon-and bulk-rock Zr-based thermometric parameters have become fundamental to
petrogenetic models of magmatism, from which broader geochronological and tectonic …

Improvements in experimental, analytical and computational methodologies together with
published studies yielding seemingly contradictory results prompted us to return to the …

Detrital zircon geochronology is rapidly evolving into a very powerful tool for determining the
provenance and maximum depositional age of clastic strata. This rapid evolution is being …

The only physical evidence from the earliest phases of Earth's evolution comes from zircons,
ancient mineral grains that can be dated using the U–Th–Pb geochronometer. Oxygen …

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 …

Abstract Analysis of δ 18 O in igneous zircons of known age traces the evolution of
intracrustal recycling and crust-mantle interaction through time. This record is especially …

Concordant U–Pb zircon dates have been interpreted traditionally to date the crystallization
ages of plutons because until recently analytical uncertainties have generally been large …

Interpreting the wealth of new data derived from the diverse suite of modern single-grain
provenance approaches available to a sedimentologist requires a thorough understanding …

Miocene postcollisional porphyry Cu deposits in southern Tibet are genetically associated
with dacitic-rhyolitic intrusions with unusually high Sr/Y ratios (> 40), which have been …
