Zircon Mineral Separates
Detailed Description
Purified zircon mineral separate from a Middle Miocene ash fall in Croatia, which yielded a U-Pb ages of 15.345 ± 0.011 Ma. Geochronology data from Brlek et al. (2020). Image was taken on a microscope.

Geophysical and Geological Characterization of Mineral Deposit Localization in the Colorado Mineral Belt and Surrounding Lithosphere: Isotope Geochemistry & Geochronology
Isotope geochemistry and geochronology are critical tools in Earth sciences. Sophisticated analytical measurements allow us to understand when and how rocks and minerals formed, helping build models of how tectonic forces built the Earth’s crust through magmatism, when critical mineral deposits formed and how geological processes concentrated metals in the Earth at concentrations economically...
