THREE NATURAL ZIRCON STANDARDS FOR U‐TH‐PB, LU‐HF, TRACE ELEMENT AND REE ANALYSES

We report here the results of a study to develop natural zircon geochemical standards for calibrating the U‐(Th)‐Pb geochronometer and Hf isotopic analyses. Additional data were...

The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists

This revision of the classification of unicellular eukaryotes updates that of Levine et al. (1980) for the protozoa and expands it to include other protists. Whereas the previou...
