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

U-Pb age of the Diana Complex and Adirondack granulite petrogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Earth System Science, 2001
U-Pb isotopic analyses of eight single and multi-grain zircon fractions separated from a syenite of the Diana Complex of the Adirondack Mountains do not define a single linear array, but a scatter along a chord that intersects the Concordia curve at 1145 ± 29 and 285 ± 204 Ma. For the most concordant analyses, the207Pb/206Pb ages range between 1115 and

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

U-Pb Ages of Lunar Apatites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Apatite is one of the minerals that is rarely utilized in U-Pb geochronology, compared to some other U-rich accessory phases. Relatively low U concentration, commonly high proportion of common Pb and low closure temperature of U-Pb system of apatite ...
