Experimental evidence for the preservation of U-Pb isotope ratios in mantle-recycled crustal zircon grains

Abstract Zircon of crustal origin found in mantle-derived rocks is of great interest because of the information it may provide about crust recycling and mantle dynamics. Consideration of this requires understanding of how mantle temperatures, notably higher than zircon crystallization temperatures,...
