Every zircon deserves a date: Selection bias in detrital geochronology [PDF]
Detrital zircon geochronology can help address stratigraphic- to lithospheric-scale geological questions. The approach is reliant on statistically robust, representative age distributions that fingerprint source areas. However, there is a range of biases

Detrital record of mountain building : Provenance of Jurassic foreland basin to the Dabie Mountains [PDF]
The Huangshi foreland basin developed on the southern margin of the Dabie Mountains as a result of tectonic loading during Triassic collisional suturing between the North China and South China cratons.

Zircon dissolution in a ductile shear zone, Monte Rosa granite gneiss, northern Italy [PDF]
The sizes, distributions and shapes of zircon grains within variably deformed granite gneiss from the western Alps have been studied. Zircon shows numerous indicators of a metamorphic response in both the host gneiss and a 5 cm wide continuous ductile ...

Detrital zircon analysis from the Galilee Basin, Queensland. [PDF]
The effect of the Permian onset of the Hunter-Bowen Orogeny on sedimentation patterns in the eastern Galilee Basin of Queensland was investigated through a comparison of age populations of detrital zircon grains in sandstones in the Cisuralian (early Permian) Joe Joe Group and the Lopingian (late Permian) Betts Creek beds and a potential shift in ...

Discordance dating: A new approach for dating alteration events [PDF]
Zircon is the premier geochronometer used to date igneous and metamorphic processes, constrain sediment provenance models, and monitor key events in Earth history such as the growth of continents and the evolution of the biosphere.

K-feldspar sand-grain provenance in the Triassic, west of Shetland : distinguishing first-cycle and recycled sediment sources? [PDF]
Sandstone provenance studies can help constrain palaeogeographic reconstructions and ancient drainage system scales and pathways. However, these insights can be obscured by difficulties in geochemically distinguishing or adequately characterising ...
