Crystal-plastic deformation of zircon: A defect in the assumption of chemical robustness

Orientation contrast imaging and quantitative electron backscatter diffraction analysis of a zircon collected from an Indian Ocean gabbro reveal intragrain crystallographic misorientations (up to 14°) and low-angle orientation boundaries concentrated in the zircon tips. These features represent the...
