The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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]
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.

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