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 …
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 …

Evidence of life on Earth is manifestly preserved in the rock record. However, the microfossil record only extends to∼ 3.5 billion years (Ga), the chemofossil record arguably to∼ 3.8 Ga …
Improvements in experimental, analytical and computational methodologies together with published studies yielding seemingly contradictory results prompted us to return to the …

We present the first finding of continental crust-derived Precambrian zircons in garnet/spinel pyroxenite veins within mantle xenoliths carried by the Neogene Hannuoba basalt in the …

A protocol was established for simultaneous measurements of zircon U-Pb ages and trace elements by LA-ICP-MS at spot sizes of 16–32 μm. This was accomplished by introducing …
The strong resilience of the mineral zircon and its ability to host a wealth of isotopic information make it the best deep-time archive of Earth's continental crust. Zircon is found in …
Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …
The titanium concentrations of 484 zircons with U-Pb ages of∼ 1 Ma to 4.4 Ga were measured by ion microprobe. Samples come from 45 different igneous rocks (365 zircons) …
