Zircons reveal the history of fluctuations in the oxidation state of crustal magmatism and the supercontinent cycle source:phys.orgZircons, a mineral nearly as old as Earth itself, crystalize when magmas (molten rocks) cool and can be found in trace quantities in magmatic rocks. The formation of magma constitutes the mountains on the Earth. Through interactions with water and the atmosphere, the mountains break down into sediments.Zircons are so durable and resistant to weathering and erosion that they rarely go away, and therefore, this mineral in sediments (so-called "detrital zirc...
