The Key Laboratory of Orogenic Belts and Crustal Evolution, MOE, School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University, Beijing, China Here we present results of detrital zircon U–Pb ages, ...

This study focuses on exoscopic analyses of detrital zircon grains of Archean and Paleoproterozoic age, contained in the sediments from the Niamey Neoproterozoic sandstones (Niamey region), with a ...

However, cratons are home to tiny particles of zircon, which contain multiple isotope systems such as uranium, hafnium, oxygen, or lead and offer one way of looking billions of years into the past.

ABSTRACT: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1955 (revised in 1972) Ashton topographic map (Ashton map) with a 1:250,000 scale and a 200-foot (about 60-meter) contour interval covers almost ...

In this paper, we demonstrate a down-paleoslope shift in detrital zircon provenance signatures correlated with shallow-marine lithofacies patterns from the Upper Cretaceous La Anita Formation and ...

Through a combination of geochronological analyses (detrital zircon dating of the Santa Rosa fossil locality in eastern Perú) and phylogenetic biochronological analyses (tip-dating age estimation of ...

There exists a lack of consensus among the detrital zircon geochronology community on how to do this. Two outstanding questions are: Section 3 compares and contrasts existing discordance filters based ...

The geochemistry of Hadean detrital zircon from a newly discovered site in South Africa suggests that the parental melts formed from variably hydrous melting of crust derived from the ambient mantle ...

The provenance of Triassic turbidites is still controversial. In order to constrain the detrital provenance of the siliciclastic rocks, We carried out La-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating and Hf isotope ...

“Zircons are so robust that they survive most geologic events,” said Liu. Just like other supercontinents, the number of detrital zircon grains increased during formation and dropped off during ...
