Provenance discrimination between Atasta and Alvarado beach sands, western Gulf of Mexico, Mexico: Constraints from detrital zircon chemistry and U–Pb geochronology

The bulk sand samples and detrital zircons collected from the Atasta and Alvarado beach areas in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico have been analysed for geochemistry and U–Pb ages to constrain their provenance. The index of chemical maturity and SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of the Atasta and Alvarado beach sands...
