“…The global consistency of this isotopic legacy, capable of resisting dilution by repeated interaction with juvenile melts, likely requires a significant volume of protocrust.

“…Samples in this work were selected to represent the crustal growth of SW Australia. We integrate (a) detrital zircon of modern littoral and fluvial sediments on the Scott Coastal Plain (Figure 1a; Western Australia), which represent multicyclic sediments that are sourced from the local crystalline basement (PJO, AFO and YC; Dröllner, Barham, & Kirkland, 2022; Sircombe & Freeman, 1999), and (b) published detrital zircon data of the Perth Basin, Hillier Bay, Arid Basin and Barren Basin (meta)sediments, all of which have been recognized as significant archives of detrital minerals derived from the PJO, AFO and/or YC (Kirkland, Barham, & Danišík, 2020; Olierook et al, 2019; Spaggiari et al, 2015). Detrital zircon grains have been analysed for their U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic compositions using laser ablation split stream‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry at the John de Laeter Centre, Curtin University.…”

The scarcity of well-preserved primary Hadean-Eoarchean material (e.g. Goodwin, 1996) impedes understanding of Earth's earliest continental crust. However, the geochemical legacy of ancient (>3,800 Ma) crustal seeds may survive reworking, conveying information on early crust-mantle differentiation into younger continental crust and ultimately the detrital record (Griffin, Belousova, Shee, Pearson, & O 'Reilly, 2004;Guitreau et al., 2019). The Archean Yilgarn Craton (YC) in Western Australia (Figure 1a) has enabled significant advances in the understanding of the spatial and temporal development of early Earth's crust (e.g. Cassidy et al., 2006). The Narryer Terrane, in the northwestern YC, preserves some of the oldest continental crust on the planet (>3,700 Ma; Kinny, Williams,

“…Part of this catchment may have been in Antarctica (Morón et al, 2019). However, establishing direct fluvial connections within this continental catchment remains ambiguous due to widespread occurrence of potential intermediate reservoirs of Antarctic detritus within sedimentary basins (Kirkland et al, 2020). These intermittent sources of recycled detritus are fertile hosts of polymodal detrital age signatures, some akin to those used to infer a direct source (Figure 7).…”

Reorganization of continent‐scale sediment routing based on detrital zircon and rutile multi‐proxy analysis

The duration and extent of sediment routing systems are intrinsically linked to crustal-to mantle-scale processes. Therefore, distinct changes in the geodynamic regime may be captured in the detrital record. This study attempts to reconstruct the sediment routing system of the Canning Basin (Western Australia) during the Early Cretaceous to decipher its depositional response to Mesozoic-Cenozoic supercontinent dispersal. Specifically, we reconstruct source-to-sink relationships for the Broome Sandstone (Dampier Peninsula) and proximal modern sediments through multi-proxy analysis of detrital zircon (U-Pb, Lu-Hf and trace elements) and detrital rutile (U-Pb and trace elements). Multi-proxy comparison of detrital signatures and potential sources reveals that the majority of the detrital zircon and rutile grains are ultimately sourced from crystalline basement in central Australia (Musgrave Province and Arunta region) and that proximal sediment supply (i.e., Kimberley region) is negligible. However, a significant proportion of detritus might be derived from intermediate sedimentary sources in central Australia (e.g., Amadeus Basin) rather than directly from erosion of crystalline basement. Broome Sandstone data are consistent with a large-scale drainage system with headwaters in central Australia. Contextualization with other broadly coeval drainage systems suggests that central Australia acted as a major drainage divide during the Early Cretaceous. EAGE DRÖLLNER et al.

“…Detrital zircons of this age range in Australia are commonly denoted the "Pacific-Gondwana" population (Ireland et al, 1998;Purdy et al, 2016). They are widespread in early Paleozoic siliciclastic strata across Australia, and, given the absence of clear significant source regions in Australia, they are the most notable "exotic" zircons in the Australian detrital zircon record (e.g., Fergusson et al, 2001;Maidment et al, 2007;Purdy et al, 2016;Kirkland et al, 2020). Although they are not well represented in the current Amadeus Basin detrital zircon Hf isotope record, they are extensively documented in detrital zircon Hf isotope records from other parts of Australia (e.g., Purdy et al, 2016;Martin et al, 2017;Morón et al, 2019;Kirkland et al, 2020).…”

Detrital zircon petrochronology of central Australia, and implications for the secular record of zircon trace element composition

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hafnium (Hf) isotope composition of zircon has been integrated with U-Pb age to form a long-term (>4 b.y.) record of the evolution of the crust. In contrast, trace element compositions of zircon are most commonly utilized in local- or regional-scale petrological studies, and the most noteworthy applications of trace element studies of detrital zircon have been in “fingerprinting” potential source lithologies. The extent to which zircon trace element compositions varied globally over geological time scales (as, for example, zircon U-Pb age abundance, O isotope composition, and Hf isotope composition seem to have varied) has been little explored, and it is a topic that is well suited to the large data sets produced by detrital zircon studies. In this study we present new detrital zircon U-Pb ages and trace element compositions from a continent-scale basin system in Australia (the Centralian Superbasin) that bear directly on the Proterozoic history of Australia and which may be applicable to broader interpretations of plate-tectonic processes in other regions. U-Pb ages of detrital zircon in the Centralian Superbasin are dominated by populations of ca. 1800, 1600, 1200, and 600 Ma, and secular variations of zircon Hf isotope ratios are correlated with some trace element parameters between these major age populations. In particular, elevated εHf(i) (i.e., radiogenic “juvenile” Hf isotope composition) of detrital zircon in the Centralian Superbasin tends to correspond with relatively high values of Yb/U, Ce anomaly, and Lu/Nd (i.e., depletion of light rare earth elements). These correlations seem to be fundamentally governed by three related factors: elemental compatibility in the continental crust versus mantle, the thickness of continental crust, and the contributions of sediment to magmas. Similar trace element versus εHf(i) patterns among a global zircon data set suggest broad applicability. One particularly intriguing aspect of the global zircon data set is a late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian period during which both zircon εHf(i) and Yb/U reached minima, marking an era of anomalous zircon geochemistry that was related to significant contributions from old continental crust.
