Is there a Grenvillian basement in the Guerrero-Morelos Platform of Mexico?
In the Guerrero-Morelos platform (Guerrero State, Mexico) the adakitic rocks of Early Tertiary age contain abundant hornblende-rich tonalite xenoliths. Zircon crystals have been concentrated from both adakites and xenoliths, and dated using in-situ U-Pb ...

Growth of the Archean sialic crust as revealed by zircon in the TTGs in eastern Finland [PDF]
U–Pb age determinations on zircon from granitoids in the Archean of eastern Finland were conducted using the SIMS, LA-ICP-MS and TIMS techniques, with an emphasis on low-HREE granitoids.

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.

Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]
Granulite facies rocks frequently show a large spread in their zircon ages, the interpretation of which raises questions: Has the isotopic system been disturbed? By what process(es) and conditions did the alteration occur?

A comparison between in situ monazite Lu–Hf and U–Pb geochronology [PDF]
In complex metamorphic rocks, monazite U–Pb dates can span a wide concordant range, leading to ambiguous geological interpretations (e.g. slow protracted cooling versus multiphase growth).

U–Pb dating and Sm–Nd isotopic analysis of granitic rocks from the Tiris Complex : new constaints on key events in the evolution of the Reguibat Shield, Mauritania [PDF]
The Reguibat Shield of N Mauritania and W Algeria represents the northern exposure of the West African Craton. As with its counterpart in equatorial West Africa, the Leo Shield, it comprises a western Archaean Domain and an eastern Palaeoproterozoic ...

U‐Pb age of the Yxsjöberg Tungsten‐Skarn deposit, Sweden
Abstract The Yxsjoberg scheelite‐skam deposit of western Bergslagen (south‐central Sweden) formed in Palaeoproterozoic time when aqueous fluids migrating along lithologic discontinuities replaced limestones in acid volcanic rocks. The age of the mineralization and, thus, the source of the fluids are controversial.
