Detrital zircon record and tectonic setting [PDF]
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 ...

A tonalitic analogue to ancient detrital zircon
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 ...

Detrital zircon age distributions in Bayes-Hilbert spaces
A 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 ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.
