Journal ArticleDOI

Calibration of the lutetium-hafnium clock.

TL;DR: The existence of strongly unradiogenic hafnium in Early Archean and Hadean zircons implies that enriched crustal reservoirs existed on Earth by 4.3 billion years ago and persisted for 200 million years or more, and current models of early terrestrial differentiation need revision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Separation of high field strength elements (Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf) and Lu from rock samples for MC‐ICPMS measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a single-column separation procedure for purification of Hf and Lu by ion exchange using Eichrom® Ln-Spec resin was presented, allowing measurements of Zr/Nb with a precision of better than ±5% (2σ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Lu–hf garnet geochronology: closure temperature relative to the Sm–Nd system and the effects of trace mineral inclusions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and MC-ICP-MS techniques to determine the Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd ages of garnet-bearing rocks for which the general thermochronology had been previously established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early core formation in asteroids and late accretion of chondrite parent bodies: Evidence from 182Hf-182W in CAIs, metal-rich chondrites, and iron meteorites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the 182Hf-182W isotopic systematics of Ca-Al-rich inclusions, metal-rich chondrites, and iron meteorites to constrain the relative timing of accretion of their parent asteroids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trace element fractionation during fluid-induced eclogitization in a subducting slab: trace element and Lu-Hf-Sm-Nd isotope systematics

TL;DR: The trace element and isotope compositions of the gabbros and eclogites of central Zambia represent relics of subducted oceanic crust in a suture zone and provide direct evidence for channelized fluid flow and element transport within a slab as discussed by the authors.
