Enhanced diffusion of Uranium and Thorium linked to crystal plasticity in zircon
The effects of crystal-plasticity on the U-Th-Pb system in zircon is studied by quantitative microstructural and microchemical analysis of a large zircon grain collected from pyroxenite of the Lewisian Complex, Scotland. Electron backscatter diffraction (

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 ...

Zircon U/Pb ages for gniess from Qianshan, Anhui
Zircon U/Pb ages were measured for Qianshan gneiss at the ultrahigh pressure metamorphic (UHPM) complex in the Southern Dabie Terrain (SDT). According to morphology, Th and U contents of eight fractions of zircon and data distribution on the discordia, it is indicated that they should be treated as metamorphic overgrowth mixing zircons, in which the ...

A High-Precision ID-TIMS U-Pb Dating Method of Apatite
Apatite belongs to the hexagonal crystal system and has a relatively high (350-550℃) closure temperature, which can accommodate multiple element substitutions into the crystal lattice.

Discussion on Detrital zircon geochronology of the Carboniferous Baixo Alentejo Flysch Group (South Portugal); constraints on the provenance and geodynamic evolution of the South Portuguese Zone, Journal, vol. 172, 294-308 [PDF]
In their recent study, Rodrigues et al. (2014) attempted a provenance analysis of the Carboniferous Baixo Alentejo Flysch Group (SW Iberia), discussing variability over time in sources of South Portuguese Zone turbidites.
