Interpretation of zircon coronae textures from metapelitic granulites of the Ivrea–Verbano Zone, northern Italy: two-stage decomposition of Fe–Ti oxides [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 In this study, we report the occurrence of zircon coronae textures in metapelitic granulites of the Ivrea–Verbano Zone. Unusual zircon textures are spatially associated with Fe–Ti oxides and occur as (1) vermicular-shaped aggregates 50–200 µm long and

A Novel Approach to Identifying Mantle‐Equilibrated Zircon by Using Trace Element Chemistry
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 One of the requirements for inferring mantle redox states via zircon Ce/Ce* oxybarometry and Ti‐in‐zircon thermometry is to select mantle‐equilibrated zircon derived from melts that have not interacted with the hydrosphere nor assimilated exogenous ...

Does Zircon Shape Retain Petrogenetic Information?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Zircon shape is commonly reported during geochronology and geochemistry analyses of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, but the relationship of zircon shape to primary growth environmental conditions remains poorly constrained.

Improvement of the Thermal Stability of Zircon by Formation of the Solid Solution of Cr in Zircon
Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies, 2020 In this paper, the effects of Cr2O3 additive on the thermal stability and zircon decomposition were investigated. The substitution of Cr at zircon lattice and the formation of solid solution were also discussed. Cr2O3 was added at up to 4 wt.% to zircon.
