The continental record and the generation of continental crust [PDF]
Continental crust is the archive of Earth history. The spatial and temporal distribution of Earth's record of rock units and events is heterogeneous; for example, ages of igneous crystallization, metamorphism, continental margins, mineralization, and ...

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

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 ...
