How many grains are needed for a provenance study?

P Vermeesch - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004‏ - Elsevier
Detrital provenance studies using single-grain geochronology are very labor-intensive. This
paper presents a method for calculating k, the smallest number of grains in a sample that …

[كتاب][B] The geology of stratigraphic sequences

progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Differential zircon fertility of source terranes and natural bias in the detrital zircon record: Implications for sedimentary provenance analysis

DP Moecher, SD Samson - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006‏ - Elsevier
Granitic intrusions emplaced within Laurentia during the Grenville Orogeny (1.15–1.05 Ga)
are exceptionally Zr-rich, primarily a function of high modal zircon, relative to Paleozoic …

Needles in a haystack: Detrital zircon UPb ages and the maximum depositional age of modern global sediment

GR Sharman, MA Malkowski - Earth-Science Reviews, 2020‏ - Elsevier
The practice of using the youngest detrital grains from a sedimentary deposit to constrain its
depositional age has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Researchers that use the …

U‐Pb dating of zircon by LA‐ICP‐MS

Z Chang, JD Vervoort, WC McClelland… - Geochemistry …, 2006‏ - Wiley Online Library

[HTML][HTML] Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology of Paleozoic strata in the Grand Canyon, Arizona

GE Gehrels, R Blakey, KE Karlstrom… - …, 2011‏ - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We determined U-Pb ages for detrital zircons from 26 samples of Paleozoic sandstone from
