Using Detrital-Zircon Geochronology and (U-Th)/He Thermochronology to Re-evaluate the Triassic-Jurassic Tectonic Setting of Northern Laurentia, Canadian Arctic

New geochronological and field data were examined from Triassic-Jurassic strata in the Sverdrup Basin, Arctic Canada. Detailed analysis of detrital-zircon data identified a pronounced near-syndepositional age-fraction in Triassic strata, which significantly is absent in Jurassic strata of the Sverdr...
