The 13 pages that link to U–Pb dating, each with the reason it gives.

• Permian–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.

• 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.
