Calibrating chemical abrasion: Its effects on zircon crystal structure, chemical composition and U Pb age

open access: yesChemical Geology, 2019
The present sub-permil precision of single zircon chemical abrasion, isotope-dilution, thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS) U Pb dates often reveals age dispersions that are outside of analytical uncertainty.

U–Pb zircon ages from the Spontang Ophiolite, Ladakh Himalaya

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Society, 2001
The Spontang Ophiolite in the Ladakh Himalaya consist of a thrust sheet of upper mantle and oceanic crustal rocks obducted onto the northern passive continental margin of India during the late Cretaceous. Precise isotopic ages of Himalayan ophiolites are presently unavailable. U–Pb dating of zircons from a dioritic segregation in the high-level gabbros

A new U-Pb age for shock-recrystallised zircon from the Lappajärvi impact crater, Finland, and implications for the accurate dating of impact events

open access: yesGeochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
Accurate and precise dating of terrestrial impact craters is a critical requirement for correlating impacts with events such as mass extinctions. A number of isotopic systems have been applied to impact chronology but it is important to understand what ...

The effect of low-temperature annealing on discordance of U–Pb zircon ages [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
AbstractDiscordant U–Pb data of zircon are commonly attributed to Pb loss from domains with variable degree of radiation damage that resulted from α-decay of U and Th, which often complicates the correct age interpretation of the sample. Here we present U–Pb zircon data from 23 samples of ca.

Age and origin of fluorapatite-rich dyke from Baranec Mt. (Tatra Mts., Western Carpathians): a key to understanding of the post-orogenic processes and element mobility

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2016
On the southeastern slope of the Baranec Mount in the Western Tatra Mountains (Slovakia) an apatite-rich pegmatite-like segregation was found in the subvertical fault zone cutting metapelitic rocks.

Crustal evolution of the western part of the Archean Gavião Block, São Francisco Craton, based on U-Pb, Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr evidence [PDF]

open access: yesGeologia USP. Série Científica, 2013
The western part of the Gavião Block (São Francisco Craton) is one of the oldest fragments of the South American Platform. It comprises the Riacho de Santana Gneissic Migmatitic complex, the Santa Isabel complex and the Riacho de Santana greenstone belt.

High-Precision U-Pb Zircon Age Calibration of the Global Carboniferous Time Scale and Milankovitch Band Cyclicity in the Donets Basin, Eastern Ukraine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
High-precision ID-TIMS U-Pb zircon ages for 12 interstratified tuffs and tonsteins are used to radiometrically calibrate the detailed lithostratigraphic, cyclostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic framework of the Carboniferous Donets Basin of eastern ...

In situ U-Pb Dating of Calcite from the South China Antimony Metallogenic Belt

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Accurately determining the age of hydrothermal ore deposits is difficult, because of lack of suitable mineral chronometers and techniques. Here we present the first LA-MC-ICPMS U-Pb age of carbonates from hydrothermal Sb deposits.

U–Pb ages of angrites

open access: yesGeochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2008
Abstract Precise U–Pb ages, determined with double spike ( 202 Pb– 205 Pb) thermal ionization m1ass spectrometry, are reported for angrites Angra dos Reis (AdoR), Lewis Cliff 86010 (LEW), and D’Orbigny. Nineteen of 23 acid-washed pyroxene fractions from these meteorites and whole rock fractions from D’Orbigny contain between 0.5 and 1.3 pg of total ...

Spatial and glacial‐interglacial variations in provenance of the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2012
The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) covers an extensive area over 440,000 km2and provides an unprecedented terrestrial record of Neogene climate. However, it is still unclear whether the provenance of these loess deposits is uniform or contains spatial and ...
