The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

U-Pb geochronology of the Fort Augustus granite gneiss: constraints on the timing of Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic tectonothermal events in the NW Highlands of Scotland [PDF]
The West Highland granite gneiss suite in Inverness-shire, Scotland, represents a series of S-type, anatectic granites formed by partial melting of host Neoproterozoic metasediments of the Moine Supergroup.

Timing of deposition, orogenesis and glaciation within the Dalradian rocks of Scotland: constraints from U-Pb zircon ages [PDF]
The stratigraphical and structural continuity of the Late Proterozoic Dalradian rocks of the Scottish Highlands is re-examined in the light of new U-Pb zircon ages on the tuffs belonging to the Tayvallich Volcanic Formation (601 ñ 4 Ma), and on the late ...

Late Precambrian U-Pb titanite age for peak regional metamorphism and deformation (Knoydartian orogeny) in the western Moine, Scotland [PDF]
There has been controversy over the number and timing of orogenies in the Precambrian Moine block in the Scottish Caledonides since the earliest radiometric dating in the 1960s. This work challenges a recent hypothesis, that this sector of the Laurentian

Direct Calibration Method for LA-HR-ICP-MS Apatite U-Pb Dating
BACKGROUND Apatite is a common U-bearing accessory mineral with a U-Pb closure temperature of ~500℃, making U-Pb dating of apatite a potentially valuable thermochronometer.

A Review of Research Progress on the Analytical Method of Large-n Detrital Zircon U-Pb Geochronology
BACKGROUND Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology is an important tool for identifying sedimentary provenance and determining the maximum depositional age. The numbers of grains for detrital zircon provenance investigations using laser-ablation inductively ...

Petrogenesis of the Cretaceous Intraplate Mafic Intrusions in the Eastern Tianshan Orogen, NW China
In this study, we conducted zircon U-Pb dating, and whole-rock geochemical and Sr-Nd isotope analyses on the Late Mesozoic dolerite dykes in the Bailingshan Fe deposit (Eastern Tianshan Orogen, NW China) to unravel their petrogenesis and regional ...
