Magmatic and Crustal Differentiation History of Granitic Rocks from Hf-O Isotopes in Zircon
AJ Kemp,AJ Kemp,Chris J. Hawkesworth,Gavin L. Foster,B. A. Paterson,Jon Woodhead,Janet M. Hergt,C. M. Gray,Martin J. Whitehouse +8 more
TL;DR: The plutonic archive is unlocked through hafnium (Hf) and oxygen (O) isotope analysis of zoned zircon crystals from the classic hornblende-bearing (I-type) granites of eastern Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodic growth of the Gondwana supercontinent from hafnium and oxygen isotopes in zircon
TL;DR: The first study that integrates hafnium and oxygen isotopes, all measured in situ on the same, precisely dated detrital zircon grains reveals that crust generation in part of Gondwana was limited to major pulses at 1.9 and 3.3 Gyr ago, and that the zircons crystallized during repeated reworking of crust formed at these times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of deposition, orogenesis and glaciation within the Dalradian rocks of Scotland: constraints from U–Pb zircon ages
Tim J. Dempster,Graeme Rogers,P. W. G. Tanner,Brian J. Bluck,R. J. Muir,S R Redwood,Trevor Ireland,Trevor Ireland,B. A. Paterson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the stratigraphical and structural continuity of the Late Proterozoic Dalradian rocks of the Scottish Highlands is re-examined in the light of new U-Pb zircon ages on the tuffs belonging to the Tayvallich Volcanic Formation (601 ± 4 Ma), and on the late Grampian ‘Newer Gabbros’ (470
Journal ArticleDOI
U-Pb zircon geochronological evidence for Neoproterozoic events in the Glenfinnan Group (Moine Supergroup): the formation of the Ardgour granite gneiss, north-west Scotland
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Ardgour gneiss is essentially an in situ anatectic granite formed during deformation and regional high-grade metamorphism from Moine metasediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
U–Pb geochronology of deformed metagranites in central Sutherland, Scotland: evidence for widespread late Silurian metamorphism and ductile deformation of the Moine Supergroup during the Caledonian orogeny
TL;DR: A series of metagranite sheets which were emplaced and penetratively deformed during D 2 have been dated using SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology as discussed by the authors.
