Meteorite Radioisotope Ages Reveal Late Dynamical Chaos in the Solar System
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe orbital elements of the solar system’s ancient asteroid families are highly dispersed, recording the last dynamical chaos in its history. However, dynamics alone cannot precisely date this when this terminal chaos occurred.

Trace element chemistry and U-Pb dating of zircons from oceanic gabbros and their relationship with whole rock composition (Lanzo, Italian Alps) [PDF]
, 2018 The U-Pb ages and the trace element content of zircon U-Pb along with major and trace element whole rock data on gabbroic dikes from the Lanzo lherzolitic massif, N-Italy, have been determined to constrain crustal accretion in ocean-continent transition ...

Sedimentary record of the amalgamation and break-up of Pangaea: U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology and provenance of Carboniferous-Triassic siliciclastic rocks (SW Iberia) [PDF]
, 2014 In SW Iberia there is a basal unconformity where Triassic sandstones overlie previously deformed Carboniferous turbidites. This important stratigraphic boundary records the transition from the final stages of Pangaea’s amalgamation to the initial stages ...

High-precision U-Pb data and reference age for Emerald Lake apatite
Data in BriefNew isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry U-Pb data for Emerald Lake apatite demonstrate its potential as a reference material for geochronology. A three-dimensional 238U/206Pb-207Pb/206Pb-204Pb/206Pb isochron produces a 95.2 ± 1.1 Ma date with an initial Pb isotopic composition of 206Pb/204Pb = 18.85 ± 0.19 and 207Pb/204Pb = 15.68 ± 0 ...

Detrital zircon–apatite fingerprinting challenges glacial transport of Stonehenge’s megaliths
Communications Earth & EnvironmentHow Stonehenge’s building blocks arrived on Salisbury Plain remains debated, with glacial and human transport mechanisms proposed. Here we test the possibility of Pleistocene glacial sediment input using grain-scale U–Pb fingerprinting of detrital zircon

Evidence formulti-cycle sedimentation and provenance constraints from [PDF]
, 2016 Laser ablation ICP-MS U–Pb analyses were conducted on detrital zircons of Triassic sandstone and conglomerate from the Lusitanian basin in order to: i) document the age spectra of detrital zircon; ii) compare U–Pb detrital zircon ages with previous ...
