Over 5300 recent SHRIMP-RG analyses of trace elements (TE) in igneous zircon have been
compiled and classified based on their original tectono-magmatic setting to empirically …

Zircon is the most useful mineral for studies in U-Pb geochronology and Hf and O isotope
geochemistry. Matrix effect is a major problem of the microbeam techniques such as SIMS …

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 lithium isotope system is increasingly being applied to a variety of Earth science studies,
as the burgeoning literature attests; over 180 papers have been published in the last twelve …

Construction and assembly of the Geologic Time Scale involves:(a) constructing a relative
(chronostratigraphic) standard scale for key periods in the Earth's rock record;(b) identifying …

All cells contain much more potassium, phosphate, and transition metals than modern (or
reconstructed primeval) oceans, lakes, or rivers. Cells maintain ion gradients by using …

The strong resilience of the mineral zircon and its ability to host a wealth of isotopic
information make it the best deep-time archive of Earth's continental crust. Zircon is found in …

Detrital zircon crystals from the Jack Hills metasedimentary belt, Western Australia, are the
only surviving vestiges of Hadean crust and represent an extraordinary archive into the …
