Test of the minimum zircon sample size for U-Pb-dating of aeolian Quaternary sediments

Abstract

This dataset contains the results of the U-Pb dating of 2300 detrital zircons from the south west US (Utah, Nevada). The zircons are collected from Quaternary slope deposits between 2014 and 2018 and are measured with a LA-ICP-MS at the Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden, section Geochronology.
