Abstract

The zirconium-in-rutile thermometer enjoys widespread use, but confidence in its accuracy is limited because experiments were conducted at higher temperatures than many rutile-bearing rocks and calibration uncertainties have not been quantitatively assessed. Refined calibrations were developed using bootstrap regression to minimize residuals in the natural logarithm of the equilibrium constant, based on experiments only (n = 32) and on a combined compilation of experiments and natural data (n = 94, total). Rearranging the regression to solve for T, and expressing Zr concentration (C) in parts per million (μg/g), the calibrations in the α-quartz stability field are:

Acknowledgments and Funding

Thanks are due to many individuals: the NSF reviewer who inadvertently incentivized this study by questioning the accuracy of the Zr-in-rutile thermometer; H.P. Marshall for help understanding different residual minimization approaches; Roger Powell for providing an unpublished variance-covariance matrix; Frank Spear, Keith Putirka, and Andy Smye for providing thorough critical reviews; and Ian Swainson for his editorial patience. Funded by NSF grants OIA1545903 and EAR1450507.
