Journal ArticleDOI
The Composition of Zircon and Igneous and Metamorphic Petrogenesis
Paul W.O. Hoskin,Urs Schaltegger +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of zircon in crustal evolution studies is underscored by its predominant use in U-Th-Pb geochronology and investigations of the temporal evolution of both the crust and lithospheric mantle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plesovice zircon : A new natural reference material for U-Pb and Hf isotopic microanalysis
Jirri Slama,Jirri Slama,Jirri Slama,Jan Košler,Daniel J. Condon,James L. Crowley,Axel Gerdes,John M. Hanchar,Matthew S.A. Horstwood,George A. Morris,Lutz Nasdala,Nicholas Norberg,Urs Schaltegger,Blair Schoene,Michael Tubrett,Martin J. Whitehouse +15 more
TL;DR: The Plesovice zircon as discussed by the authors has a concordant U-Pb age with a weighted mean Pb-206/U-238 date of 337.13 +/- 0.37 Ma (ID-TIMS, 95% confidence limits, including tracer calibration uncertainty).
Journal ArticleDOI
Re-equilibration of Zircon in Aqueous Fluids and Melts
TL;DR: In both aqueous fluids and melts, replacement of zircon with undamaged structure by a coupled dissolution-reprecipitation process can produce similar textures as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth, annealing and recrystallization of zircon and preservation of monazite in high-grade metamorphism: conventional and in-situ U-Pb isotope, cathodoluminescence and microchemical evidence
Urs Schaltegger,Christopher Fanning,Detlef Günther,J. C. Maurin,Karel Schulmann,Dieter Gebauer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used secondary electron (SEM) and cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging to date zircon and monazite from granulite-to amphibolite-facies rocks of the Vosges mountains (central Variscan Belt, eastern France) by ion-microprobe and conventional U-Pb techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlating the end-Triassic mass extinction and flood basalt volcanism at the 100 ka level
TL;DR: In this paper, high-precision U/Pb geochronology from volcanic ashes was used to show that the Triassic-Juras-sic boundary and end-Triassic biological crisis from two independent marine stratigraphic sections correlate with the onset of terrestrial fl ood volcanism in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province to <150 ka.
