(U-Th)/(He-Pb) DOUBLE DATING OF DETRITAL ZIRCONS
Geochronology and thermochronology on detrital material provides unique constraints on sedimentary provenance, depositional ages, and orogenic evolution of source terrains. In this paper we describe a method and case-studies of measurement of both U/Pb and (U-Th)/He ages on single crystals of zircon that improves the robustness of constraints in each of these areas by establishing both formatio...
متن کاملIn-situ U-Pb dating of phosphates in lunar basaltic breccia
Introduction: The lunar meteorites have been valuable sources for understanding the evolution of the Moon's crust, because each meteorite could potentially provide a new insight into the thermal history of unexplored regions of the Moon. In spite of their scientific interests, chronological studies of Very-Low-Ti (VLT) basaltic meteorites have not be well understood, since the most VLT basalt m...
متن کاملU-pb Ages of Lunar Apatites
Introduction: Apatite is one of the minerals that is rarely utilized in U-Pb geochronology, compared to some other U-rich accessory phases. Relatively low U concentration, commonly high proportion of common Pb and low closure temperature of U-Pb system of apatite inhibit its application as geochronological tool when other minerals such as zircon are widely available. However, zircon appear to b...

متن کاملU-Th dating of deep-sea corals
Th, Th, U and U compositions of several deep-sea solitary corals, mainly the species Desmophyllum cristagalli, were determined by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). It is possible to obtain high precision ages on modern pristine corals that have low [Th] (5 to a few hundred ppt). However, because older deep-sea corals tend to have higher [Th] compared to surface corals, and the initia...
