The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021

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.

Chemical abrasion applied to LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U-Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of age determinations.

New age constraints on the Lower Jurassic Pliensbachian–Toarcian Boundary at Chacay Melehue (Neuquén Basin, Argentina)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The Pliensbachian–Toarcian boundary interval is characterized by a ~ 3‰ negative carbon-isotope excursion (CIE) in organic and inorganic marine and terrestrial archives from sections in Europe, such as Peniche (Portugal) and Hawsker Bottoms, Yorkshire ...

U-Pb SHRIMP geochronology data from the eastern Central Kibalian Superterrane, Bomu-Kibalian Craton, northeastern DRC: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Kilo Terrane

open access: yesData in Brief, 2021
This brief presents new U-Pb SHRIMP (Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe) geochronology data on zircons and titanites dated from the gold-rich Kilo Terrane in the eastern Central Kibalian Superterrane, northeastern DRC. Out of 40 rock samples (Table

Navigating the complexity of detrital rutile provenance: methodological insights from the Neotethys Orogen in Anatolia [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronology
Sedimentary provenance is a powerful tool for reconstructing convergent margin evolution. However, single mineral approaches, like detrital zircon, have struggled to track sediment input from mafic and metamorphic sources.

Paleozoic ocean plate stratigraphy unraveled by calcite U-Pb dating of basalt and biostratigraphy

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2022
The formation and tectonic evolution of mafic oceanic crust can be determined through dating of calcite amygdules using U-Pb geochronology as well as geochemistry and biostratigraphic observations, according to a study of the New England Orogen ...

SHRIMP ion probe zircon geochronology and Sr and Nd isotope geochemistry for southern Longwood Range and Bluff Peninsula intrusive rocks of Southland, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Permian–Jurassic ultramafic to felsic intrusive complexes at Bluff Peninsula and in the southern Longwood Range along the Southland coast represent a series of intraoceanic magmatic arcs with ages spanning a time interval of 110 m.y.

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.

Modeling apparent Pb loss in zircon U–Pb geochronology [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronology
The loss of radiogenic Pb from zircon is known to be a major factor that can cause inaccuracy in the U–Pb geochronological system; hence, there is a need to better characterize the distribution of Pb loss in natural samples.
