Evidence for unusually thin oceanic crust and strong mantle beneath the Amazon fan (2006)
Journal Article
Rodger, M., Watts, A., Greenroyd, C., Peirce, C., & Hobbs, R. (2006). Evidence for unusually thin oceanic crust and strong mantle beneath the Amazon fan. Geology, 34(12), 1081-1084. https://doi.org/10.1130/g22966a.1

We used seismic and gravity data to determine the structure of the crust and mantle beneath the Amazon Fan. Seismic data suggest that the crust is of oceanic-type and is unusually thin (

Methods for the microsampling and High-precision analysis of strontium and rubidium isotopes at single crystal scale for petrological and geochronological applications. (2006)
Journal Article
Charlier, B., Ginibre, C., Morgan, D., Nowell, G., Pearson, D., Davidson, J., & Ottley, C. (2006). Methods for the microsampling and High-precision analysis of strontium and rubidium isotopes at single crystal scale for petrological and geochronological applications. Chemical Geology, 232, 114-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2006.02.015

Micromilling of single crystals to yield microgram-sized solid samples for subsequent isotopic analysis can yield important petrogenetic information from crystals (especially feldspars) in magmatic rocks. Exceptional detail can be gained because the...

Zircon age constraints on sediment provenance in the Caspian region. (2006)
Journal Article
Allen, M., Morton, A., Fanning, C., Ismail-Zadeh, A., & Kroonenberg, S. (2006). Zircon age constraints on sediment provenance in the Caspian region. Journal of the Geological Society, 163, 647-655

Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb ages for detrital zircons from the Caspian region reveal the age ranges of basement terrains that supplied the sediment. One sample from the modem Volga river has groupings at c. 340-370 Ma, c. 9... Read More about Zircon age constraints on sediment provenance in the Caspian region..
