Assessment of widely used methods to derive depositional ages from detrital zircon populations
The calculation of a maximum depositional age (MDA) from a detrital zircon sample can provide insight into a variety of geological problems. However, the impact of sample size and calculation method on the accuracy of a resulting MDA has not been evaluated. We use large populations of synthetic zirc...
