Detrital Zircons U-Pb Age and Hf Isotope from the Western Side of the Taiwan Strait: Implications for Sediment Provenance and Crustal Evolution of the Northeast Cathaysia Block

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2014
In situ detrital zircons U-Pb and Hf isotope analyses from the Min and Jiulong River of Southeast China were carried out to identify sediment provenance and crustal evolution of the northeast Cathaysia Block.

Jadeite in Continental Subduction: Its Preservation, Breakdown and Pseudomorphic Replacement in Erzgebirge UHP Gneisses

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The absence of jadeite in regions where subduction of continental crust has been documented by other high‐pressure (HP) or ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) minerals is striking. This study presents only the second discovery of jadeite in the crystalline rocks of the Erzgebirge, a region known for its occurrences of microdiamond, coesite and omphacite ...

A database of detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes for the Middle East (Iranian and Arabian plates)

Geoscience Data Journal
The detrital zircon records significant information in the ‘source‐sink’ system. With the application of in situ laser ablation technology, a large number of high‐quality detrital zircon data have been published since 2000.

Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to

Provenance and drainage system of the Early Cretaceous volcanic detritus in the Himalaya as constrained by detrital zircon geochronology

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2015
The age range of the major intra-plate volcanic event that affected the northern Indian margin in the Early Cretaceous is here defined precisely by detrital zircon geochronology.

Detrital zircon age distributions in Bayes-Hilbert spaces

Journal of Geochemical Exploration
A growing number of researchers in the Earth Science community use the information provided by the Usingle bondPb ages of detrital zircon in sedimentary environments, be these modern (sediments) or ancient (sedimentary or metasedimentary rocks). This information is key to understanding detritus's past and present flow on Earth and its attendant ...

Detrital Avalonian zircons in the Laurentian Southern Uplands terrane, Scotland [PDF]

Geology, 2003
The Silurian–Ordovician Southern Uplands terrane occupies a key position in the Caledonian orogen, yet its genesis is controversial. Marginal-basin, backarc, and forearc tectonic regimes have all been invoked as operative at the Laurentian margin of the Iapetus Ocean.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Destabilization of Long‐Lived Hadean Protocrust and the Onset of Pervasive Hydrous Melting at 3.8 Ga

AGU Advances, 2022
The nature of Earth's earliest crust and crustal processes remain unresolved questions in Precambrian geology. While some hypotheses suggest that plate tectonics began in the Hadean, others suggest that the Hadean was characterized by long‐lived ...
