Abstract
Archean and Proterozoic zircon grains are commonly found in much younger clastic sedimentary rocks, but the geological significance of these ages is often overlooked. Here we demonstrate that the age spectra of early Precambrian sedimentary recycled and/or magmatic inherited zircon grains form a unique pattern (detrital fingerprint) that can be used to test connectivity or indicate sediment recycling between terranes. Using the island of New...
