U-Pb Zircon and Titanite Dating in Support of British Columbia Geological Survey Regional Mapping Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we report U-Pb zircon and titanite data and interpreted ages for sixteen rocks (Figure 1) sampled in support of regional mapping projects conducted by the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch during the midto late-1990s. Each sample is reported with geological context, interpretation of U-Pb data and significance of the date. The U-Pb results are also displayed on standard concordia plots (Figures 2, 3, 7 and 8) and compiled in a single table (Table 1). All aspects of sample preparation, clean laboratory work, and data acquisition, reduction and interpretation were carried out at the Geochronology Laboratory of the University of British Columbia following procedures outlined in Mortensen et al. (1995) and Friedman et al. (2001).

A brief introduction into the Greenland U-Pb Geochronology Database
Geochronology aims to establish the age of rocks, minerals, and geological events including fluid movement and mineralization, within a specific degree of uncertainty, using signatures inherent in the rocks themselves. Absolute dating is only accomplished through the use of naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes found within geological samples. The U–Th–Pb isotopic system is the benchmark for...

Soursat Metamorphic Complex (SMC) in west of Takab city is one of the polyphase metamorphic terrenes in northern Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt of Iran. The SMC composed mainly of metasedimentary rocks associated with granitic intrusions. Based on metamorphic rocks, two metamorphic phases could be separate in the complex. M1 is representative of regional metamorphisms which varies from greens...

U-Pb and Pb-Pb age constraints on Paleoproterozoic magmatism, deformation and gold mineralization in the Omai area, Guyana Shield
The Omai intrusion-centred Au-quartz vein system, the largest Au producer presently operating in the Guyana Shield, was sampled for detailed U-Pb and Pb-Pb geochronology and petrological investigation. The age of a metavolcanic/sub-volcanic unit in the host rock sequence is 212092 Ma. Zircon analyses from the main body dioritic rocks give U-Pb ages of 209496, 2092911 and 2096+11/−10 Ma. Magmati...
