Palaeozoic and Proterozoic zircons from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

According to the theory of plate tectonics, rocks found in the vicinity of mid-ocean ridges — where oceanic plates are created — should be relatively young (at most several Myr old). Here we report the discovery of zircons with ages of about 330 and 1,600 Myr that were drilled from exposed gabbros b...
