Short summary
OneDZ is a global detrital zircon database comprising 2.7 million uranium-lead and 200 thousand lutetium-hafnium isotopic records. Artificial intelligence, large language model agents, and custom code were employed to develop tools for big data evaluation, enhancing database functionality and offering new insights into managing large-scale unstructured geoscience data.
