Detrital zircon provenance and Ordovician terrane amalgamation,
19 Detrital-zircon analysis of sandstones interbedded with ca 464 Ma ignimbrites in 20 the lower Mweelrea Formation of the South Mayo Trough, western Ireland, 21 suggests Ordovician source-rock provenance that corresponds to two distinct 22 volcanic-arc phases on the Laurentian margin. East-derived sandstones contain a 23 suite of zircons with a mean age of ca 487 Ma that suggests derivation fr...
متن کاملDetrital Zircon Geochronology by Laser-ablation Multicollector Icpms at the Arizona Laserchron Center
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 driven by the increased availability of ion probes and laser ablation ICP mass spectrometers, which are able to generate age determinations rapidly, at moderate to low cost, and of sufficient accuracy for most ap...
متن کاملProvenance of Triassic and Jurassic Sandstones in the Banda Arc: Petrography, Heavy Minerals and Zircon Geochronology
Quartz-rich sandstones in the Banda Arc Islands are thought to be equivalent of Mesozoic sandstones on the Australian NW Shelf where they are important proven and potential reservoirs. Previous studies suggested that rivers draining Australia provided most of the sediment input and there have been suggestions of a northern provenance for some Timor sediments. We present results from a provenanc...
متن کامل1.8 Billion Years of Detrital Zircon Recycling Calibrates a Refractory Part of Earth’s Sedimentary Cycle
Detrital zircon studies are providing new insights on the evolution of sedimentary basins but the role of sedimentary recycling remains largely undefined. In a broad region of northwestern North America, this contribution traces the pathway of detrital zircon sand grains from Proterozoic sandstones through Phanerozoic strata and argues for multi-stage sedimentary recycling over more than a bill...
متن کاملDetrital zircons as tracers of sedimentary provenance: limiting conditions from statistics and numerical simulation
U–Pb ages of detrital zircons in clastic sediments are potential indicators of sedimentary provenance and crustal evolution. To extract geologically significant information from such data, it is necessary that the zircons analysed in the laboratory reflect the sediment from which they were separated. Among other factors, this depends on the number of grains analysed. The probability that a detr...
