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.

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 ...

Provenance study of Phanerozoic rocks from the Cordillera Real of Bolivia
U/Pb ages of detrital zircon from two samples of Ordovician sediments were determined and, based on similar published data, were compared with xenocrystal inheritance of Triassic and Oligocene granitoids of the Cordillera Real in order to better ...

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 ...

Nature of zircon clastics in the Riphean and Vendian sandstones of the Southern Urals
New age dates of detrital zircons of terrigenous rocks augmented the possibilities of interpretation of their provenance. Unfortunately this interpretation is restricted by a formal comparison of age-and-composition characteristics of detrital crystals ...

Quartzites and paragneisses of the Archean granulite series of the Anabar Shield (Siberian Craton, Russia) are described geochemically. The Sm-Nd isotope systematics of the rocks and the U-Pb age (SHRIMP II) and geochemistry of zircons from quartzites ...

BACKGROUND With the development of high-precision negative thermal ionization mass spectrometry (N-TIMS) technology, Re-Os isotopic dating of carbonaceous mudstone is more and more widely used in the determination of sedimentary age. The controversy over

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 ...

The Neoproterozoic is a very important stage in the global tectonic evolution, which experienced the amalgamation and break-up of the Rodinia. The Nanhua and Sinian strata in the Tarim Basin, which is one of the three major craton basins, have recorded a
