1.8 Billion Years of Detrital Zircon Recycling Calibrates a Refractory Part of Earth's Sedimentary Cycle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Detrital zircon studies are providing new insights on the evolution of sedimentary basins but the role of sedimentary recycling remains largely undefined.

Detrital zircon record and tectonic setting [PDF]
Geology, 2012 ABSTRACTDetrital zircon spectra refl ect the tectonic setting of the basin in which they are deposited. Convergent plate margins are charac-terized by a large proportion of zircon ages close to the depositional age of the sediment, whereas sediments in collisional, extensional and intracratonic settings contain greater proportions with older ages that ...

Tectonic exhumation of the Central Alps recorded by detrital zircon in the Molasse Basin, Switzerland [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Eocene to Miocene sedimentary strata of the Northern Alpine Molasse Basin in Switzerland are well studied, yet they lack robust geochronologic and geochemical analysis of detrital zircon for provenance tracing purposes. Here, we present detrital zircon U–

Fission-track Analysis of Detrital Zircon [PDF]
Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2005 Zircon has become one of the most important minerals for studying sediment provenance and the exhumation history of orogenic belts. The reason for this utility is that zircon is common in many igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, it is resistant to weathering and abrasion, and it can be dated with various isotopic methods having reasonable high

A tonalitic analogue to ancient detrital zircon
Chemical Geology, 2018 Abstract A zircon population from an Archean tonalite sample from southern West Greenland has been used as a source analogue in order to test common methods and approaches applied to ancient detrital zircon populations. Measurements of U-Th-Pb, oxygen and Lu-Hf isotopes as well as rare earth element and Ti concentrations were made in these zircon ...

Geochemistry and detrital zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopic data reveal the provenance and tectonic setting of the Xujiahe Formation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe depositional age, provenance and tectonic setting of the Xujiahe Formation have been studied, but remain intensely debated. In this study, we focus on the second segment of the Xujiahe Formation (T3x2) as a research object.

Detrital zircon age distributions in Bayes-Hilbert spaces
Journal of Geochemical ExplorationA growing number of researchers in the Earth Science community use the information provided by the Usingle bondPb ages of detrital zircon in sedimentary environments, be these modern (sediments) or ancient (sedimentary or metasedimentary rocks). This information is key to understanding detritus's past and present flow on Earth and its attendant ...

Integrated detrital rutile and detrital zircon ages: a new perspective on the tectonic evolution of South China. [PDF]
Natl Sci RevABSTRACT Paleogeographic reconstructions are of key importance for understanding the history of continental breakups and amalgamations during Earth’s history. A special case is the history of the Asian continent, which, compared to other continents, consists of several large cratons and numerous smaller continental blocks. The history of

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
