A missing continental impact melt sheet signal in the early Earth detrital zircon record [PDF]

Nature Communications
Impact-derived melting has been proposed as a significant process in the formation of Earth’s early crust which could mean that impact melts are a source for Earth’s oldest minerals including ancient zircons. However, the source lithology of many Archean

Using detrital zircon to reconstruct Neoproterozoic crustal thickness variation in the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Trace element geochemistry and chronology of zircon are reliable tools for reconstructing sediment provenance and crustal evolution, particularly in contexts where early crustal and rock records are sparse.

New insights on the geochemical affinity and age of mineralized rocks in Timok magmatic complex, East Serbia [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023
Bor and Čukaru Peki are world-class porphyry deposits spatially and genetically associated with the Cretaceous Timok magmatic complex. This research was conducted to determine the age and geochemical affinity of the magmatic rocks that formed these ore ...

Zircon record of an Archaean crustal fragment and supercontinent amalgamation in quaternary back-arc volcanic rocks

Scientific Reports, 2021
Magmatism has profoundly influenced the evolution of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in back-arc basins. However, the timing of the magmatism in the Okinawa Trough (OT) is not well constrained by the age spectra of zircons.

The Österplana Fossil Meteorites and… What Else? Terrestrial Cr-Spinels and Zircons in the Ordovician Limestones of the Thorsberg Quarry (Sweden)

Geosciences, 2022
In the Ordovician limestone of the Thorsberg quarry (South Sweden), about 130 meteorites have been found. Among the extraterrestrial material, several terrestrial Cr-spinels and zircons have been found too. In particular, in the interval 416–447 cm above

Nature of zircon clastics in the Riphean and Vendian sandstones of the Southern Urals

Georesursy, 2019
New age dates of detrital zircons of terrigenous rocks augmented the possibilities of interpretation of their provenance. Unfortunately this interpretation is restricted by a formal comparison of age-and-composition characteristics of detrital crystals ...

Provenance and tectonic implications of the Yanshi bauxite area in Western Henan, China [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The bauxite layer in Western Henan supplies a large number of bauxite ores and is useful for studying tectonic movement. In this paper, the bauxite samples were selected to carry out LA-ICP-MS detrital zircons U-Pb dating and Hf isotope testing.

U–Pb zircon dating of the Paleoproterozoic khondalite series in the northeastern Helanshan region and its geological significance

Open Geosciences, 2022
Petrography, zircon cathodoluminescence, and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb zircon dating were performed on the Paleoproterozoic khondalite series and the intrusive altered diabase dykes developed in the ...
