Ratios in many oxidized continental deposits are above 7, whereas most marine deposits have ratios much below 7. Thus, the thorium-to-uranium ratio varies with sedimentary processing and depositional environment.

Contact2014-10-22 As a zircon-containing rock makes its way up through the earth’s crust, the temperature drops. For a zircon, the crystal structure closes at a depth of around 6 kilometers when the rock hits about 180 degrees Celsius. That’s when helium—a byproduct of the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium—starts to accumulate inside the zircon.
