Source to sink zircon grain shape: Constraints on selective preservation and significance for Western Australian Proterozoic basin provenance

The effect of selective preservation during transportation of zircon grains on the detrital age spectrum is difficult to quantify and could potentially lead to systematic bias in provenance analysis. Here we investigate whether the shape of detrital zircon grains holds provenance information and if...
