This article reviews the geology of the Sveconorwegian orogen in south Scandinavia and
existing tectonic models for the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Sveconorwegian …

Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

Approximately> 50% of global rare earth element (REE) resources are hosted by carbonatite
related deposits, of which monazite is one of the most important REE minerals. Monazite …

Understanding the mechanisms of parent-daughter isotopic mobility at the nanoscale is key
to rigorous interpretation of U–Th–Pb data and associated dating. Until now, all nanoscale …

The widespread use of monazite (LREEPO 4) in U-Pb geochronology is underpinned by the
assumption that it incorporates negligible amounts of Pb during initial growth, and that …

U–Pb geochronology of shocked monazite can be used to date hypervelocity impact events.
Impact-induced recrystallisation and formation of mechanical twins in monazite have been …

Observations of discordant ages, meaning that an age given by one mineral
geochronometer is different from the age given by another geochronometer from the same …

To test the potential of deformation twins to record the age of impact events, micrometre-
scale size mechanical twins in shocked monazite grains from three impact structures were …

Recently it has been argued that the Sveconorwegian orogeny in southwest Fennoscandia
comprised a series of accretionary events between 1140 and 920 Ma, behind a long-lived …

Understanding radionuclides mass transfer mechanisms in monazite (LREEPO4) and the
resulting features, from the micro-to the nanoscale, is critical to its use as a robust U–Th–Pb …
