Three-isotope plots of δ(90Zr/94Zr), δ(91Zr/94Zr), and δ(92Zr/94Zr) vs. δ(96Zr/94Zr). The grains (data sources in Section 2, 2σ uncertainty) are compared to Three-zone (left, open symbols) and Zone-II (right, filled symbols) AGB model predictions for a 2 M, 0.5 Z AGB star with a range of 13C strengths. The entire evolution of the AGB envelope composition is shown, but symbols are plotted only when C > O. Dotted lines represent solar zirconium isotope ratios.
