Geochronological and geochemical effects of zircon chemical abrasion: insights from single-crystal stepwise dissolution experiments

<p>Chemical abrasion in hydrofluoric acid (HF) is routinely applied to zircon grains prior to U–Pb dating by isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) to remove radiation-damaged portions of grains affected by Pb loss. Still, many chemically abraded datasets exhibit evide...
