Detrital Zircon U-Pb data from selected Appalachian rivers and Outer Banks-area coastal sediments

October 15, 2024
U-Pb isotopic data from zircon grains from the sediment bedload of seven modern rivers: the Susquehanna, Potomac, Roanoke, James, Peedee, Tar, and Cape Fear, as well as from three samples taken from beaches in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds (North Carolina), two Pleistocene core samples, and three samples on the ocean-facing foreshore of the Outer Banks barrier islands (North Carolina and Virginia). All analyses were conducted either by the University of Arizona LaserChron Center or Geosep Services (GSS).
