Variscan sourcing of Westphalian (Pennsylvanian) sandstones in the Canobie Coalfield, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The zircon age spectrum in a sample from the Canonbie Bridge Sandstone Formation (Asturian) of southern Scotland contains two main peaks. One is Early Carboniferous in age (348– 318 Ma), and corresponds to the age of igneous activity during the ...

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

Detrital-zircon geochronology and sedimentary provenance [PDF]

open access: yesLithosphere, 2011
The article on sources of Paleozoic sediment in the Grand Canyon by [Gehrels et al. (2011)][1] in the June issue of Lithosphere illuminates progress in studies of sedimentary provenance, which have evolved dramatically during the past fifty years. During my dissertation research at Virginia Tech,

Discordance dating: A new approach for dating alteration events [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronology
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.

Study on borehole provenance tracing and fluvial sediment diffusion in the Bohai Sea: Double constraints from detrital zircon U-Pb age and in-situ geochemical element of apatite grains

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
Bohai Bay Basin, located in the North China Craton, are surrounded by the Yanshan Mountains to the north, the Taihang Mountains to the west, the Jiaodong and Liaodong peninsulas to the south and east, respectively.

Recycling of the Proterozoic crystalline basement in the Coastal Block (Moroccan Meseta): New insights for understanding the geodynamic evolution of the northern peri-Gondwanan realm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Detrital zircon age spectra from the siliciclastic rocks of the Lalla Mouchaa Calcschists and El Jadida Dolomitic formations (the Coastal Block of the Moroccan Meseta) are dominated by Paleoproterozoic and Ediacaran ages.

Congo River sand and the equatorial quartz factory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent test case to investigate under which tectonic, geomorphological, climatic ...

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Taiwan mountain belt is composed of a Cenozoic slate belt (Hsuehshan Range units, HR, and Backbone Slates, BS) and of accreted polymetamorphic basement rocks (Tananao Complex, TC).

New geochronological and provenance constraints on the Late Mesozoic sedimentary formations in the western Shandong Province and Tanlu fault zone, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
We present new LA-ICP-MS detrital zircon U-Pb age and trace element data of the Late Mesozoic sedimentary sequences from the western Shandong and Tanlu fault zone, with the aim to constrain the depositional ages and sedimentary sources.
