International audience The geochemical information preserved in mineral inclusions within zircon provides new ways to decipher the evolution of the continental crust. We present a routine procedure to analyse Pb isotopes in K-feldspar minerals and mineral inclusions in zircon by LA-MC-ICP-MS, with a...
