Plesovice zircon : A new natural reference material for U-Pb and Hf isotopic microanalysis

TLDR
The Plesovice zircon as discussed by the authors has a concordant U-Pb age with a weighted mean Pb-206/U-238 date of 337.13 +/- 0.37 Ma (ID-TIMS, 95% confidence limits, including tracer calibration uncertainty).

Age constraint on Burmese amber based on U–Pb dating of zircons

TL;DR: Amber from northern Myanmar has been commercially exploited for millennia, and it also preserves the most diverse palaeobiota among the worlds' seven major deposits of Cretaceous amber.

Improved laser ablation U‐Pb zircon geochronology through robust downhole fractionation correction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a data reduction approach to correct the effects of downhole elemental fractionation by first observing the elemental response and then applying an appropriate (and often unique) model to the data.

The continental crust: Its composition and evolution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of the present upper crust and deal with possible compositions for the total crust and the inferred composition of lower crust, and the question of the uniformity of crustal composition throughout geological time is discussed.

Approximation of terrestrial lead isotope evolution by a two-stage model

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.

The application of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry to in situ U–Pb zircon geochronology

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) was used for in situ U-Pb zircon geochronology.
