The Nature Portfolio Ecology & Evolution Community provides a forum for the sharing and discussion of news and opinion in ecology and evolutionary biology. Through posts, discussion, image and video content, the community space can be used by members to communicate with each other, and with editors, about topics ranging from the fundamental science itself through to policy, society and the day to day life of the research community. It is also a place to learn more about the activities of Nature Research ecology and evolutionary biology editors and the policies and practices of our journals.

The zircon grains must date from an older, metamorphic event? But you take the age of the youngest ones? Beautiful mini rocks from a lovely part of the world!
Most of the zircons are most likely from ancient volcanic eruptions that were occurring at that time. We are interested in the youngest ones as they are our best estimate for the maximum age of the deposition of the sediment. Thanks!
