Constraining the timing and provenance of the Neoproterozoic Little Willow and Big Cottonwood Formations, Utah: Expanding the sedimentary record for early rifting of Rodinia

U–Pb ages of detrital zircon spectra indicate that the Little Willow Formation in the Wasatch Range, Utah, is not a part of a Paleoproterozoic basement complex (~1700–1800 Ma) as previously thought, but is a metamorphosed part of the Big Cottonwood Formation (~750 Ma). The youngest detrital zircon g...
