KnowraU–Pb datingLinked fromLinked fromThe 13 pages that link to U–Pb dating, each with the reason it gives.All 13Related 13Permian–Triassic extinction eventRelated: It established the close timing of Siberian eruptions and the extinction.RodiniaRelated: Dating igneous and metamorphic rocks constrains when Rodinia assembled and fragmented.GneissRelated: Zircon grains in gneiss can constrain the ages of its protolith and later metamorphism.Large igneous provinceRelated: It can constrain the timing of province-related magmatism at high precision.Acasta GneissRelated: Uranium–lead measurements on zircon establish the ages of its oldest rocks.Siberian TrapsRelated: Uranium–lead dates constrain the timing and duration of Siberian Traps magmatism.Kaapvaal CratonRelated: It establishes ages for ancient rocks and events across the craton.Alleghanian orogenyRelated: Dated minerals help constrain when Appalachian rocks were buried, deformed, and cooled.Variscan orogenyRelated: It constrains the ages of Variscan magmatism, metamorphism, and deformation.TonaliteRelated: Zircon in tonalite can date crystallization and constrain the age of surrounding crust.Central Asian Orogenic BeltRelated: Zircon ages constrain when arcs formed and terranes joined the belt.MigmatiteRelated: Zircon in migmatite can constrain the timing of melting and crystallization.Superior CratonRelated: It establishes ages for Superior crustal rocks and the events that assembled them.
