Abstract
This study provides detailed sample preparation methods for subgrain zircon analyses, and a simple mineral separation technique which overflows light mineral grains out of beaker using the running water from faucet. Excluding separation steps using of the Wilfley table and heavy liquid, this technique is faster and more efficient than conventional one, and remarkably suitable for collecting small amount of zircon for subgrain analyses.
