Granitoid events in space and time: Constraints from igneous and detrital zircon age spectra

Laser ablation ICP mass spectrometry for zircon U-Pb geochronology of metamorphosed granite from the Salem Block: Implication for Neoarchean crustal evolution in southern India

“…Similar magmatic and metamorphic pulses in the range of ~ 2.6 Ga to 2.5 Ga have also been recorded from the Dharwar Craton to the north of the Salem Block (e.g., Jayananda et al, 1995). This time interval also coincides with the global crust formation events in other cratons and major granitoid events (e.g., Condie et al, 2009).…”

Provenance of Pleistocene Rhine River Middle Terrace sands between the Swiss–German border and Cologne based on U–Pb detrital zircon ages

“…Small rivers tapping limited drainage systems likely present only a partial record of the larger source area. Large, potentially continental-scale river systems like the Mississippi of North America or the Rhine River systems in Europe, in turn, are considered to reflect the continentwide crustal record (e.g., Rino et al 2008;Bahlburg et al 2009;Condie et al 2009). A similar, homogenized signal may be expected from marine sediments after redeposition and mixing.…”

U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology of sedimentary rocks in NE Vietnam: Implication for Early and Middle Devoni-an Palaeogeography

“…The latter peak is also known from sample VN24 (Figures 8, 9). A possible source for this zircon peak may be associated with the Wutai orogeny, an event that is also known in the Tethyan Himalaya, Cathaysia, India, and Africa (Yu et al, 2009;Condie et al, 2009;Wan et al, 2011;Burrett et al, 2014).…”
