And a crystal called Zircon is at the heart of this discovery.

这一发现的核心是一种的晶体。

And that's where a resilient little mineral called zircon comes in.

这就是有弹性的来源。

The team said the crystals contained a mineral called zircon.

研究小组表示，这些晶体中含有一种名为的矿物质。

This favours impact formation, as zircons transported by mantle plumes would have more profound origins.

这有利于撞击的形成，因为地幔热柱搬运的具有更深的起源。

They compared that core with another from Arizona, embedded with zircons.

他们将这块岩心与亚利桑那州一块嵌有的岩心进行了对比。

The Russian president has said the country's navy will receive hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles within the next few months.

俄罗斯总统表示，该国海军将在未来几个月内收到高超音速巡航导弹。

In that study, researchers examined how many atoms of uranium and lead were contained in the zircon crystals.

在那项研究中，研究人员检查了晶体中含有多少铀和铅原子。

Heck noted that zircon is a very strong mineral that can " survive the breakdown of rocks during weathering."

赫克指出，是一种非常坚固的矿物质，可以“在岩风化过程中幸存下来”。

The zircon is believed to have formed when the lunar surface cooled after being in a melting state after the crash.

据信，是在撞击后月球表面熔化后冷却时形成的。

Zircon starts off as molten magma, the hot lava from volcanoes.

初是熔岩，火山产生的热熔岩。

And remember, zircons are also used in radiometric dating.

请记住，也用于辐射 测年。

Zircon may be similar to a hypersonic missile developed with India.

可能类似于与印度开发的高超音速导弹。

The missile is called Zircon, but little information about it is known.

这种导弹被称为“”，但关于它的信息知之甚少。

Analyses of their constituent zircons could well provide valuable supporting evidence that Earth's continents owe their existence to bodies from outer space.

对其构成的的分析很好地提供有价值的佐证，证明地球大陆的存在应归功于来自外太空的天体。

There is too much money in palm oil, as well as timber, coal, gold, zircon and the forest's other vegetable and mineral riches.

棕榈油有很大的价值, 这森林中的木材、煤炭、黄金、、其他蔬菜和丰富的矿产也是如此。

Zircons whose ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 is 0.5% higher than found in seawater, for example, would have originated far below Earth's surface.

例如，在海水中发现的氧-18和氧-16的比率比高0.5%的可能起源于地球表面以下很远的地方。

In this case, Ramezani was dating tiny zircon crystals, in fact, in a fossil bed in Patagonia, near the southern tip of South America.

在这个案例中，拉米扎尼在靠近南美洲南端的巴塔哥尼亚的化层中测定微小的晶体的年代。

But the authors will also need to explain why zircons previously found at other, even older, sites do not display the same telltale signature of impact.

但作者还需要解释，为什么之前在其他更古老的地点发现的没有显示出相同的撞击迹象。

Zircon is similar to quartz, both in its chemical structure and in its durability, they both stick around a long time after other minerals weather away.

的化学结构和耐久性都与英相似，它们都能在其他矿物风化后长期存在。

Once you do that, you can compare the age of the Zircon in the sandstone in your sample to the age of the Zircon in the mountains.

完成此操作后，您可以将样本中砂岩中的年龄与山区的年龄进行比较。
