Dating sedimentary rocks using in situ U-Pb geochronology of syneruptive zircon in ash-fall tuffs <1 mm thick

Absolute ages for sedimentary rocks are required to construct a temporal framework in which to decipher Earth's history. The most reliable method for dating Precambrian sedimentary rocks is U-Pb geochronology of zircon in intercalated volcanic rocks. However, extracting sufficient zircons invol...
