Rock physics diagnostics to characterize early diagenetic processes in hemipelagic calcareous ooze in the northern South China Sea margin
Hemipelagic calcareous ooze is a mixture of biogenic carbonate ooze and detrital terrigenous materials from continental weathering. Understanding its...

SS-LASS Zircon Dating Deciphering Multiple Episodes of Anatexis in a Deeply-Subducted Continental Crust: An Example from Sulu Orogen, China
‘Single shot’ laser-ablation split-stream (SS-LASS) technique analyzing unpolished zircon grains makes their thin rims tenable for determination,...

Intracontinental uplift of the Brazilian Central Plateau linked to continental breakup, orogenies, and basin filling, supported by apatite and zircon fission-track data
Fission-track analysis in zircon and apatite detrital grains from Mesoproterozoic sedimentary sequences show evidence of cooling episodes in central...
