... of sedimentary or metasedimentary source rocks, will be restite rich and will thus very probably contain several populations of inherited zircons (e.g. the Laidlaw Volcanics, Wyborn et al.

Abstract Aspects of the isotopic age and stratigraphical databases underpinning Devonian geological time scales are reviewed to assess differences in recent U–Pb zircon-based schemes and older schemes based on Rb–Sr, K–Ar, 40 Ar– 39 Ar dating of minerals and whole-rock samples. The various methods of time-scale construction are described and, with their databases, 14 calibrations of Devonian time are discussed. Finally, the most recent data are collated and compared against current U–Pb-based time scales.
