Eobowenia gen. nov. from the Early Cretaceous of Patagonia: indication for an early divergence of Bowenia?

TL;DR: Fossil foliage Almargemia incrassata from the Lower Cretaceous Anfiteatro de Ticó Formation in Patagonia, Argentina is re-examine in the light of a comparative cuticular analysis of extant Zamiaceae, and phylogenetic analyses indicate that a newly erected genus could be related to extant Bowenia.

Diagenetic model of the Bajo Barreal formation (Cretaceous) in the southwestern flank of the Golfo de San Jorge Basin (Patagonia, Argentina)

TL;DR: In this article, the diagenetic evolution of sandstones belonging to the Bajo Barreal Formation (Cretaceous) in the Golfo de San Jorge Basin (Patagonia, Argentina) is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jurassic intraplate contraction of southern Patagonia: The El Tranquilo Anticline area, Deseado Massif

TL;DR: In this article, a late Early Jurassic shortening event affected the southern end of the back-arc Chubut Basin in southern Patagonia, interspersed within a general lithospheric extensional context linked to Gondwana breakup.
Journal ArticleDOI

Palynological, megafloral and mesofossil record from the Bajo Grande area (Anfiteatro de Ticó Formation, Baqueró Group, Upper Aptian), Patagonia, Argentina

TL;DR: The late Aptian flora of Baquero is one of the best known and accurately dated Cretaceous plant associations from Gondwana, recognized for their well-preserved fossil remains.

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.

Precision Measurement of Half-Lives and Specific Activities of U 235 and U 238

TL;DR: New determinations of the half-lives of half-life values of $ −235 and −238 have been made improved techniques have allowed the halflife values to be measured with greater accuracy than has been heretofore achieved as discussed by the authors.

Zircon U–Pb chemical abrasion (“CA-TIMS”) method: Combined annealing and multi-step partial dissolution analysis for improved precision and accuracy of zircon ages

TL;DR: CA-TIMS as discussed by the authors uses high-temperature treatment to anneal zircon lattice radiation damage from natural alpha, alpha recoil, and spontaneous fission processes; this annealing eliminates elemental and isotopic leaching effects that have limited earlier efforts at chemical leaching or multi-step step-wise dissolution or partial dissolution analysis (PDA)
Journal ArticleDOI

Age and timing of the Permian mass extinctions: U/Pb dating of closed-system zircons.

TL;DR: Zircons from nine ash beds within the Shangsi and Meishan sections (China), pretreated by annealing followed by partial attack with hydrofluoric acid, result in suites of consistent and concordant uranium/lead (U/Pb) ages, eliminating the effects of lead loss.

Derivation of isotope ratios, errors, and error correlations for U‐Pb geochronology using 205Pb‐235U‐(233U)‐spiked isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometric data

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive treatment of the derivation of U-Pb isotope ratios and their corresponding uncertainties from isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometric measurements is presented.
