Apatite's ubiquity in crystalline rocks, variable trace element contents (particularly with
regard to the REE, actinides and Sr), and amenability to various dating techniques based on …

We argue that the production of mantle-derived or juvenile continental crust during the
accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) has been grossly …

Over 5300 recent SHRIMP-RG analyses of trace elements (TE) in igneous zircon have been
compiled and classified based on their original tectono-magmatic setting to empirically …

Detrital zircon geochronology is rapidly developing into an essential tool in Earth science
research because of the widespread occurrence of zircon in sedimentary systems; the wide …

Abstract LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS have been the techniques of choice for achieving
accurate and precise element content and isotopic ratio, the state-of-the-art technique …

Detrital zircon geochronology is rapidly evolving into a very powerful tool for determining the
provenance and maximum depositional age of clastic strata. This rapid evolution is being …

Zircon is the main mineral in the majority of igneous and metamorphic rocks with Zr as an
essential structural constituent. It is a host for significant fractions of the whole-rock …

Trace element abundances in igneous zircons, as determined by electron microprobe and
laser-ablation microprobe ICPMS analysis, are shown to be sensitive to source rock type …

With the aim to link zircon composition with paragenesis and thus metamorphic conditions,
zircons from eclogite-and granulite-facies rocks were analysed for trace elements using LA …

Laser-ablation split-stream (LASS) analysis—high-speed, high spatial-resolution,
simultaneous isotopic and elemental analysis—enables petrochronology at a new level …
