This Record presents new Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) U–Pb zircon results obtained under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Queensland–Geoscience Australia (GSQ–GA) National Collaboration Framework (NCF) geochronology project between July 2016 and June 2017. This Record presents results from six newly analysed samples, in support of ongoing regional mapping and geoscientific programs led by GSQ in the Georgetown, Coen and Cairns regions. Three magmatic samples were analysed from unnamed rhyolite dykes within the Georgetown region (Gilberton 1:250 000 sheet SE5416), two samples (one magmatic and one metasedimentary) from the Coen region(Coen SD5408), and one metasedimentary sample from the Cairns region (Innisfail SE5506). A summary of each sample is presented, each containing information on sample location and geological content, geochronology results, as well as a brief geochronological interpretation.
