TL;DR: The IUGS Subcommission on Geochronology (FOOTNOTE 4) as discussed by the authors recommended the adoption of a standard set of decay constants and isotopic abundances in isotope geology.
9,474 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage model for terrestrial lead isotope evolution is proposed, which permits the age of the earth to be that of the meteorite system and also yields good model ages for samples of all ages.
8,218 citations
TL;DR: A simple model for the development and evolution of sedimentary basins is proposed in this paper, which consists of a rapid stretching of continental lithosphere, which produces thinning and passive upwelling of hot asthenosphere.
3,711 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of analyses for Ti, Zr, Y, Nb and Sr in over 200 basaltic rocks from different tectonic settings have been used to construct diagrams in which these settings can usually be identified.
3,403 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the saturation behavior of zircon in crustal anatectic melts as a function of both temperature and composition has been studied and a model of Zr solubility given by: In D Zr Zircon/melt = −3.80−[0.85(M−1)]+12900/T where T is the absolute temperature, and M is the cation ratio (Na + K + 2Ca)/(Al · Si).
