Summary: This study investigates the tectonic evolution and provenance characteristics of the late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic collision-related orogeny in Japan using morphological analysis and U-Pb ages of detrital zircons. The results show that the late Paleozoic zircons were derived from nearby sources, while the pre-late Paleozoic zircons were supplied from distant sources under strong hydrodynamic conditions. Combining the geological information of East Asia, the study reveals a change in sources from the Southern zone of the Maizuru Belt to multiple areas, supporting the collision of the island arc and continental margin of the Sino-Korean Block during the middle Permian.

Summary: The source of sediment in the basin of the southern North China Block shifted from the Qinling Orogenic Belt to the Inner Mongolia Palaeo-Uplift in the Late Carboniferous-Permian. The uplift of the Qinling Orogenic Belt may be a continuation of the Caledonian orogeny, while the uplift of the Inner Mongolia Palaeo-Uplift is related to the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.

Summary: Eucrite meteorites are believed to originate from the upper crust of the asteroid Vesta, with zircons providing insight into the initial magmatism and thermal metamorphism that occurred around 4550-4555 million years ago on Vesta. By using advanced dating methods, researchers were able to distinguish zircons formed during different thermal events in the early stages of Vesta's crustal evolution, shedding light on the formation and history of the Vesta crust. The findings suggest that zircons in eucrites like Camel Donga were formed during early magmatism or global thermal metamorphism in the early stages of Vesta's crustal formation.

Summary: Complex microstructures of zircon recrystallisation have been discovered, indicating the translation, bending and fading of oscillatory zoning, structural recovery, enrichment in Hf and depletion in Y, and the formation of a recrystallisation interface. The migration of trace elements and dislocations during crystallisation and cooling process leads to enhanced diffusion and further trace element mobility. Understanding the crystallisation and recrystallisation history is crucial for accurate interpretation of U-Pb ages.

Summary: The Late Paleozoic volcanic rocks in the Western Tianshan were formed in two major stages: Late Silurian-Early Carboniferous and Late Carboniferous-Middle Permian. The southward subduction of the Northern Tianshan Ocean resulted in a large number of Late Silurian-Early Carboniferous volcanic rocks, while the Late Carboniferous-Middle Permian volcanism was a response to the slab-roll back of the northern Tianshan Ocean.

Summary: Geochronology of Th-rich minerals benefits from utilizing three isotopic systems for accurate data assessment. The Pb-208/Th-232 system is particularly advantageous in cases with initial Pb components, as it is the least sensitive to initial Pb effects. Laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry has been used to successfully date different generations of monazite and interpret their formation processes.

Summary: This study examines the feasibility of using LA-ICPMS for U-Pb dating of vertebrate and invertebrate apatite fossils. The results suggest that the U-Pb system in shark teeth remains closed until the present but some teeth show anomalous ages possibly due to lead remobilization. Overall, LA-ICPMS allows for more precise absolute dating of fossils.

Summary: The Shingai Unit in the Kurosegawa Belt is subdivided into sedimentary zone and melange zone, with sandstones of varying compositions. Detrital zircon ages suggest an Early Triassic depositional age and a change in provenance from basement rocks to volcanic arc. This provenance change supports progressive denudation of the volcanic arc, with similarities in provenance found in upper Permian-Lower Triassic strata in neighboring belts. The sedimentary environment is inferred to have been a trench and shelf adjacent to an isolated island arc.

Summary: The Sipingshan gold deposit in eastern Wandashan Terrane is of intermediate size and is known for its unique hot spring genetic type. Gold orebodies are mainly found in upper and lower siliceous rocks, with siliceous cemented breccia in between. Two main mineralisation periods have been identified based on mineral paragenesis and crosscutting vein relationships. Analytical methods including whole-rock geochemistry, pyrite Rb-Sr dating, zircon U-Pb-Hf contents, and isotopic analysis were conducted to determine the age and genesis of the gold mineralisation.

Summary: By studying the detrital zircons from the Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic rocks in the Yidun Terrane, it was found that there are significant differences in the zircon age spectra between these two periods. The zircon ages in the Neoproterozoic rocks are similar to coeval magmatic rocks in the South China Block, suggesting a connection between the Yidun Terrane and South China in the late Neoproterozoic. In contrast, the zircons in the Paleozoic rocks are derived from East Gondwana, the South China Block, and the Songpan-Ganze Terrane, indicating a collision between the Yidun Terrane and East Gondwana in the late Ediacaran to early Paleozoic.

Summary: Recent application of zircon U-Pb geochronology has provided important insights into the evolution of caldera systems worldwide. However, in the Tohoku region of NE Japan, the magmatic history has not been well understood. A study on the Sanzugawa caldera using U-Pb dating of zircon has revealed that its volcanic activity started around 7 million years ago and reached its peak in the late Pliocene to Quaternary period. This finding challenges previous assumptions about the timing of caldera formation and highlights the importance of further dating studies in the Tohoku region.

Summary: The end of the Permian in southwestern Gondwana marked a significant change in depositional context, with the last invasion of the Panthalassa Ocean and subsequent retreat, leading to desert conditions. This paper provides a detailed paleogeographic evolution of the Parana Basin's southern portion, showing a large regression with important facies shifts. The provenance zircon U-Pb analysis suggests sediment sources from the Brasiliano basement and Gondwanides mountain ridge, reflecting tectonic reorganization near the Permo-Triassic boundary.

Summary: The end of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age was followed by a period of global warming climate, leading to the deposition of diamictite deposits in the Mariana Pimentel paleovalley due to increased rainfall and slope instability. This transition was characterized by a decrease in physical weathering and an increase in chemical weathering, with debris flow processes transporting regolith from valley walls to the bottom during the intense rainfall.

Summary: The Cenozoic depositional history of the Pelotas Basin was influenced by the spreading processes of the Atlantic Ocean and the formation of the Andean Cordillera. The study integrated seismic interpretation and backstripping techniques with evaluation of spreading rates in the South Atlantic and subduction beneath the Andes to uncover the main climatic, eustatic, and active tectonic events in the Cenozoic. The results showed the tectonic control of the Andean Cordillera over the Pelotas Basin's passive margin, as well as the influence of climatic and glacioeustatic changes driven by the opening of Drake Passage and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

Summary: Previous methods of using SDR-related magnetic anomalies as age constraints are not recommended due to their complexity and difficulties. The geometry of SDRs, variation in composition, and lack of direct correlation between magmatic position and age make the interpretation of the data challenging. Additionally, SDR-related magnetic anomalies are mainly caused by magnetic susceptibility contrasts. Therefore, this method is not suitable for estimating the age of Pelotas Basin SDRs.
