Precambrian sources of Early Paleozoic SE Gondwana sediments as deduced from combined Lu-Hf and U-Pb systematics of detrital zircons, Takaka and Buller terrane, South Island, New Zealand
Combined U-Pb-Lu-Hf isotope investigations on small detrital zircons (30-120 mu m) using solution ID-MC-ICPMS and ID-TIMS were carried out on Cambrian-Ordovician sedimentary rocks from the Buller and Takaka terranes of the northeastern South Island of New Zealand. The sediments in these two terranes...

Combined U-Pb-Lu-Hf isotope investigations on small detrital zircons (30-120 mu m) using solution ID-MC-ICPMS and ID-TIMS were carried out on Cambrian-Ordovician sedimentary rocks from the Buller and Takaka terranes of the northeastern South Island of New Zealand.
