The stability of crystalline zircon over long periods of geologic time led researchers to prefer this mineral for geochronology (Heaman and Parrish 1991, Dickin 1995, Davis et al., this volume; Parrish and Noble, this volume). In fact, much of what is known about the timing of major geologic events has been accomplished through...
