TLDR
In this article, U-Pb LA-ICP-MS analysis on detrital zircons from two samples of Cambrian age (Herreria Formation, Cantabrian Mountains, Spain) revealed very different provenance signatures at the base and top of the formation.

Gondwanan basement terranes of the Variscan–Appalachian orogen: Baltican, Saharan and West African hafnium isotopic fingerprints in Avalonia, Iberia and the Armorican Terranes

TL;DR: In this paper, a detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf dataset from Neoproterozoic-Silurian sedimentary sequences in NW Iberia and Avalonia, in conjunction with the comprehensive existing datasets from potential source cratons, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pre-orogenic detrital zircon record of the Peri-Gondwanan crust

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions.
Journal ArticleDOI

How far can we trust provenance and crustal evolution information from detrital zircons? A South African case study

TL;DR: In this paper, detrital zircon data from Phanerozoic sedimentary cover sequences in South Africa suggest that this source-to-sink relationship has been obscured by repeated events of sedimentary recycling.

U–Pb ages and Hf-isotope data of detrital zircons from the late Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic Minas Basin, SE Brazil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present detrital zircon U-Pb age patterns coupled with Lu-Hf data for 18 samples, representing different stages of the Minas Basin evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the Avalonian affinity of the South Portuguese Zone and the Neoproterozoic evolution of SW Iberia through detrital zircon populations

TL;DR: In this paper, detrital zircons from the South Portuguese Zone (SPZ) in SW Iberia and the Sehoul Block in northwest Morocco are provided, aimed at deciphering the presumed Avalonian affinity of these two regions.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detrital zircon record and tectonic setting

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the difference between the measured crystallization ages (CA) of individual zircon grains present in the sediment and the depositional age (DA) of the sedi-ment to constrain the tectonic setting in which the sediment was deposited.
