Journal ArticleDOI
New thermodynamic models and revised calibrations for the Ti-in-zircon and Zr-in-rutile thermometers
John M. Ferry,E. B. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the Zr content of rutile coexisting with zircon increases with decreasing the activity of SiO2 and demonstrate that the substitution of Ti in Zircon is primarily for Si.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallization thermometers for zircon and rutile
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the combined results of high pressure-temperature experiments and analyses of natural zircons and rutile crystals that reveal systematic changes with temperature in the uptake of Ti in zircon and Zr in Rutile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pb diffusion in zircon
Daniele J. Cherniak,E. B. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: Watson et al. as mentioned in this paper measured chemical diffusion of Ti under anhydrous conditions at 1-atm and under fluid-present elevated pressure (1.1-1.2 GPa) conditions in natural zircon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zircon Thermometer Reveals Minimum Melting Conditions on Earliest Earth
TL;DR: The temperatures substantiate the existence of wet, minimum-melting conditions within 200 million years of solar system formation and suggest that Earth had settled into a pattern of crust formation, erosion, and sediment recycling as early as 4.35 Ga.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rutile saturation in magmas: implications for TiNbTa depletion in island-arc basalts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the properties of rutile-saturated melts ranging from basalt to rhyodacite and found that dissolved TiO 2 is positively correlated with T and not strongly dependent on P total.
