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 co...

The probable sources of some of the famous Indian diamonds are the 1.2 Ga old Krishna lamproites of Southern India, a rare Proterozoic occurrence of lamproites which are usually Cretaceous or younger in age. In this study we report Nd, Sr, Pb and Hf isotopes and multiple trace element concentrations of the Krishna lamproites. The goals are to evaluate mantle-processes and the petrogenesis of th...

The Napier Complex in East Antarctica has a complex thermal history, including ultra-high-temperature (UHT) metamorphism. Geochronology, trace element, and isotope geochemistry of zircon, apatite, monazite three felsic gneisses collected from Harvey Nunatak were studied using sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) for the first time. Most zircons showed nebulous to fir-tree zoning, w...

Fathead minnows were subjected to an incremental velocity test using swim tunnel respirometry for the analysis of aerobic scope and swimming performance, as critical aerobic swim speed (U(crit)), following chronic exposures (33-57 ) to 0.9±0.4, 157±18 or 689±66 nmol L⁻¹ Pb and an acute exposure (24 h) to 672±35 nmol L⁻¹ Pb (mean±SEM). Assessment of Pb-induced anemia and neurological impairment ...

The aim of this study was to estimate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in erythrocytes and malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma of battery manufacturing workers (BMW) of Western Maharashtra (India) who were occupationally exposed to lead (Pb) over a long period of time (about 15 years). This study was also aimed to determine the Pb intoxication resulted in a disturbance of hem...

A Cretaceous paleo-accretionary wedge, the Ashin Complex, now exposed along Zagros suture zone in southern Iran, exhibits mafic, metasedimentary and ultramafic lithologies. Field, geochemical petrological observations point to an anomalous high-temperature event that gave rise formation of peritectic (trondhjemitic) melts associated with restitic garnet-bearing amphibolites. Lu-Hf isotopic dati...

Analytical procedures for U-Pb isotope dilution analyses at the Pará-Iso isotope geology laboratory of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) are described in detail. The procedures are applied to zircon, titanite, rutile, apatite, columbite-tantalite and whole rock. Reagent preparation and chemical processing are done in clean-room conditions. Samples are dissolved using Teflon microcapsules in...

Bioaccessible U, Th, Pb and the 238U decay products 214Pb and 210Pb have been determined, using a modified Unified BARGE Method (UBM), in waste solids and soils from an abandoned uranium mine in South West England, UK. Maximum aqua regia extractable concentrations for U, Th and Pb were 16,200, 3.8 and 4750 μg g-1, respectively. 238U had highest activity concentrations near the mine shaft, where...
