Zircon Coupled Dissolution–Precipitation Replacement During Melt–Rock Interaction Modifies Chemical Signatures Resulting in Misleading Ages

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1197-1214, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Melt migration through Earth's crust drives well‐documented melt–rock reactions, locally changing rock assemblage and geochemistry. However, melt–zircon interaction remains understudied. We report on three zircon‐melt interaction events from the Pembroke Granulite, New Zealand.
