Technical note: Investigation into the relationship between zircon structural damage and Pb mobility using chemical abrasion, SIMS, Raman spectroscopy, and atom probe tomography [PDF]
Chemical abrasion (CA), a two-step process of annealing and partial dissolution, is routinely applied to zircon grains prior to U–Pb geochronology to dissolve portions of the grains affected by Pb loss prior to analysis.

Refinement of high-spatial resolution U-Pb geochronological methodologies
APPROVED Zircon [ZrSiO4] is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used in geochronological, isotope and elemental geochemical studies. It can form as an accessory phase in a wide variety of magmatic and metamorphic conditions and is remarkably stable both physically and chemically over geological timescales.

Limitotipes of Lower Sakmarian and Artinskian stages boundary in the Urals
The section Usolka and duplicating its section Dal’ny Tulkas (Bashkortostan) are proposed as the stratotypes of the Lower Sakmarian stage boundary and Lower Artinskian stage boundary of the International Stratigraphic scale.

U-Pb geochronology of the South Mountain Batholith, Nova Scotia
The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) is a composite peraluminous intrusion in southwestern Nova Scotia and the largest granitoid body in the Appalachian Orogen. The batholith comprises early stage biotite-granodiorite to biotite-monzogranite and a later stage of leucomonzogranite to leucogranite plutons that are associated with numerous sub-economic to ...
