Provenance of Ordovician and Devonian sandstones from southern Peru and northern Bolivia - U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope evidence of detrital zircons and its implications for the geodynamic evolution of the Western Gondwana margin (14° - 17° S) [PDF]
In an attempt to trace the provenance of sedimentary detritus and to gain information on the crustal evolution of the Early Paleozoic western Gondwana margin (14°-17°S) we applied a combined in situ U-Pb and Lu-Hf LA-ICP-MS isotope analysis on detrital ...

Precambrian protoliths and Early Paleozoic magmatism in the French Massif Central: U–Pb data and the North Gondwana connection in the west European Variscan belt [PDF]
International audienceU–Pb geochronological data were collected on zircon by LA-MC-ICP-MS on orthogneiss and paragneiss from the Limousin area in the French Massif Central (FMC), in order to investigate the connection between the west European Variscan ...

Geology and Geochemistry of Hadean Zircon Bearing Supracrustals from Quad Creek, Eastern Beartooth Mountains (Montana, USA) [PDF]
Quad Creek Paleoarchean quartzites (~3300 Ma) in Montana contain \u3e3900 Ma detrital zircons. The outcrop-scale geological and geochemical context of these rocks is not well documented.

Exploring the use of zircon geochronology as an indicator of Laurentide Ice Sheet till provenance, Indiana, USA [PDF]
A pilot study was designed to evaluate the potential of zircon geochronology as a provenance indicator of till from the Lake Michigan, Saginaw, and Huron-Erie Lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Based on existing ice flow-path models, we hypothesized that

The provenance of Borneo's enigmatic alluvial diamonds:A case study from Cempaka, SE Kalimantan [PDF]
Gem-quality diamonds have been found in several alluvial deposits across central and southern Borneo. Borneo has been a known source of diamonds for centuries, but the location of their primary igneous source remains enigmatic.

The Brahmaputra tale of tectonics and erosion:early Miocene river capture in the Eastern Himalaya [PDF]
The Himalayan orogen provides a type example on which a number of models of the causes and consequences of crustal deformation are based and it has been suggested that it is the site of a variety of feedbacks between tectonics and erosion.
