Late Paleozoic oxygenation of marine environments supported by dolomite U-Pb dating
Understanding causal relationships between evolution and ocean oxygenation hinges on reliable reconstructions of marine oxygen levels, typically from redox-sensitive geochemical proxies.

The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

Appraisal of Six Natural Mica Reference Materials for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology
Key Points Evaluated six natural mica reference materials for in situ LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb‐Sr geochronology using geochemical, microstructural and isotopic characterisation. Identified robust primary reference materials: Mount Dromedary biotite (99.37 Ma) and Mica‐Fe biotite (307.75 Ma). La Posta biotite and Högsbo muscovite are suitable secondary reference

Impact and Correction of Analytical Positioning on Accuracy of Zircon U-Pb Dating by SIMS
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is one of the most important analytical tools for geochronology, especially for zircon U-Pb dating. Due to its advantages in spatial resolution and analytical precision, SIMS is the preferred option for multi-spot ...

ABSTRACT Zircon is a common, highly refractory accessory mineral found in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks that forms through various processes (e.g., magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic growth and recrystallization). Trace element compositions of detrital zircon have been widely applied to understanding tectonic processes and continental ...

Detrital zircon geochronology of Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian miogeoclinal and platformal strata: Northwest Sonora, Mexico [PDF]
Eighty-five detrital zircon grains from Mesoproterozoic and/or Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian sedimentary strata in northwest Sonora, Mexico, have been analyzed to determine source terranes and provide limiting depositional ages of the units.

Rapid Exhumation of Earth's Youngest Exposed Granites Driven by Subduction of an Oceanic Arc
Exhumation of plutonic systems is driven by a range of mechanisms including isostatic, tectonic, and erosional processes. Variable rates of plutonic exhumation in active subduction systems may be driven by idiosyncrasies of regional geology or by first ...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

ABSTRACT Thin, discontinuous, organic‐rich oil shale beds in the siliciclastic‐evaporitic Salt Range Formation (SRF) of Pakistan are of approximate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian age based on stratigraphic constraints. The beds are enriched (26–43 wt.% total organic carbon, TOC) in aliphatic organic matter (OM) of low thermal maturity despite their ...
