Notes:

(a) z1, z2, etc. are labels for analyses composed of single zircon grains that were annealed and chemically abraded (Mattinson, 2005). z1a and z1b are fragments from the same grain.

(b) Model Th/U ratio calculated from radiogenic 208Pb/206Pb ratio and 207Pb/235U date.

(c) Pb* and Pbc are radiogenic and common Pb, respectively. mol % 206Pb* is with respect to radiogenic and blank Pb.

(d) Measured ratio corrected for spike and fractionation only. Fractionation correction for single-collector Daly analyses is based on measurement of 202Pb/205Pb in the EARTHTIME ET2535 tracer solution.

(e) Corrected for fractionation and spike. Common Pb in zircon analyses is assigned to procedural blank with composition of 206Pb/204Pb = 18.04 ± 0.61%; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.54 ± 0.52%; 208Pb/204Pb = 37.69 ± 0.63% (1 sigma). 206Pb/238U and 207Pb/206Pb ratios corrected for initial disequilibrium in 230Th/238U using a D(Th/U) of 0.20 ± 0.05 (1 sigma).

(f) Errors are 2 sigma, propagated using algorithms of Schmitz & Schoene (2007) and Crowley, Schoene & Bowring (2007).

(g) Calculations based on the decay constants of Jaffey et al. (1971). 206Pb/238U and 207Pb/206Pb dates corrected for initial disequilibrium in 230Th/238U using a D(Th/U) of 0.20 ± 0.05 (1 sigma).
