Provenance bias between detrital zircons from sandstones and river sands: A quantification approach using 3-D grain shape, composition and age

Preservation bias may significantly impact the application of detrital zircon geochronology in reconstructing Earth surface processes. Here we compare detrital zircons from the actively eroding Murchison River channel in Western Australia with Ordovician fluvial sediments that have drained similar s...
