Anomalous Mesozoic thermal regime, central Appalachian Piedmont: Evidence from sphene and zircon fission-track dating
A total of 17 sphene and 45 zircon fission track ages (FTA) are reported from the Piedmont Province of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, the Reading Prong of New Jersey, and the Newark Basin of Pennsylvania. With the exception of one sphene sample, FTA fall within a relatively restricted age range: sphene 190-217 Ma (average 199 Ma) and zircon 143-218 Ma (average 184 Ma). Near concordance o...
متن کاملThermal Evolution and Provenance Revealed through Detrital Zircon Fission Track Dating of the Upper Cretaceous Shumagin Formation, Nagai Island, Alaska
Wrangellia Superterrane. The Paleozoic to Mesozoic Wrangellia superterrane (Insular terrane) consists of intraoceanic volcanic assemblages and basement rocks of the Peninsular, Wrangellia, and Alexander terranes (Plafker et al, 1994). The magmatic-arc assemblages of the Peninsular terrane appear to have been built upon the Wrangellia composite terrane prior to the midCretaceous and include: 1) ...
متن کاملDecomposition of Fission - Track Grain - Age Distributions
The external-detector method of fission-track (FT) dat ing is capable of providing FT ages for individual mineral grains. As a result, tliis method when applied to dating detrital zircons in unreset sandstone samples has much potential for resolving the depositional age and provenance of the samples. One problem is that individual FT grain ages for detrital zircons usually have fairly low prec...
متن کاملAn Automated Microscope Scanning Stage for Fission-track Dating
A microcomputer controlled scanning stage has been developed which greatly facilitates track counting. It has been designed specifically for the external detector method of fission-track dating, although the basic hardware could be used for a variety of different scanning requirements. With this system, the microscope stage is automatically controlled to move between corresponding points on the...
متن کاملProbability Density Plot for Fission-track Grain-age Samples
This paper outlines the statistical basis, construction and interpretation of probability-density (PD) plots as applied to the analysis of mixed distributions of fission-track (FT) grain ages. Such distributions can be viewed as being composed of a mixture of elemental component distributions, with each component characterized by a unique average FT age. The original PD plot of Hurford et al. i...
