Recycling in the subduction factory: Archaean to Permian zircons in the oceanic Cretaceous Caribbean island-arc (Hispaniola)
Little mineralogical evidence is left of the recycling of continental and oceanic crust into the
mantle at subduction zones. Zircon, because of its exceptional robustness, is probably the …
