Zircon ɛHft through the Yerington magmatic system: Time corrected zircon ɛHf (ɛHft) versus interpreted unit age for samples spanning the Yerington magmatic system. Age determinations for each unit are the weighted mean (WM) from zircon single grain U–Pb CA–ID–TIMS analyses (Fig. 4). ɛHft error bars at 95% confidence interval (CI) with overdispersion. ‘Pre-’ and ‘inter-mineralisation’ fields shaded. Probability density plots (PDP) inset, coloured as per sample. From the MSWD data for ɛHft, ‘pre-mineralisation’ units show over dispersion (MSWD > 1) and ‘syn-mineralisation’ units show under dispersion (MWSD < 1). Data compared to previous whole rock 87Sr/86Srt27 and zircon δ18O36 isotope studies, which show subtle shifts from crustal to mantle isotopic signatures73,74,75. All data points plotted in Fig. S17.
