A sample of rough zircon crystal on a white marble background from Khibiny, Kola Peninsula, Russia. It is humbling to think that the history of our planet can be locked inside something so small. The ...
The oldest thing on Earth is smaller than a piece of human hair. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, have determined that blue zircon crystals found in a remote part of Australia ...
New Curtin University research has uncovered a striking link between the structure of our galaxy and the evolution of Earth's crust, showing its development was shaped by the impact of meteorites ...
To put it mildly, this is one gem of a gem. Scientists using two different age-determining techniques have shown that a tiny zircon crystal found on a sheep ranch in western Australia is the oldest ...
Of all the things that can come out of an Australian sheep ranch, scientists probably weren't expecting to find the oldest positively identified piece of gem on the planet. A tiny zircon crystal found ...
Analysis of recently discovered zircon crystals reveals a sharp change in Earth’s geochemistry around 3.8 billion years ago. Researchers studying the ancient crystals say the likely explanation is the ...
In 1984, an amateur paleontologist in Scotland found a remarkable specimen: a nearly complete fossil of what looked to be a lizard or salamander. Rather small in size at 20 centimeters, it would turn ...
An ancient meteorite strike hit what is now Scotland significantly later than previously thought, scientists say. The finding will rewrite the region's geological history and change what researchers ...
