Using Fission-Track Radiography Coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy for Efficient Identification of Solid-Phase Uranium Mineralogy at a Former Uranium Pilot Mill (Grand Junction, Colorado)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
At a former uranium pilot mill in Grand Junction, Colorado, mine tailings and some subpile sediments were excavated to various depths to meet surface radiological standards, but residual solid-phase uranium below these excavation depths still occurs at ...

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

Fission-Track Dating [PDF]

open access: yesScientific American, 1976
A discussion of age estimation using tracks left by spontaneous fission of traces of uranium in materials begins with a historical development of the method. The relationship of the uranium content to the youngest easily measured age is tabulated. The age of a sample containing 100,000 ppM U may be measured as young as three years, while a sample ...

FISSION-TRACK DATING OF A TEPHRA LAYER IN THE ALAT FORMATION OF THE DANDIERO GROUP (DANAKIL DEPRESSION, ERITREA)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004
Attempts to date a biotite separate from a tephra layer recognized near Buia (Danakil Depression, Eritrea) in the liwer part of the Homo remains – bearing Dandiero group (formerly attributed to the Danakil Formation) using the 39Ar/40Ar method failed ...

Constraints on the thermal and tectonic evolution of Greymouth coalfield [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The southern end of the Paparoa Range in Westland, South Island, New Zealand, comprises an asymmetrical, southward plunging, faulted (Brunner-Mt Davy) anticline, the eastern limb of which is common with the western limb of an asymmetrical (Grey Valley ...

Evidence for surface uplift of the Atlas Mountains and the surrounding peripheral plateaux: Combining apatite fission-track results and geomorphic indicators in the Western Moroccan Meseta (coastal Variscan Paleozoic basement) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This work represents an initial attempt to link the evolution of the topography in relation to the general tectonic framework of western Morocco. For this purpose, in a section of the Western Moroccan Meseta different tools are combined in order to ...

Tectonic evolution of the Gabal Loman area, North Eastern Desert, Egypt: implications from low-temperature multithermochronometry on the Arabian-Nubian shield

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Neoproterozoic Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) in the Eastern Desert of Egypt encloses the regional thermal-tectonic history from its development till the Oligo-Miocene when the Red Sea rift system was initiated.

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

The thermal history of the Miocene Ibar Basin (Southern Serbia): new constraints from apatite and zircon fission track and vitrinite reflectance data

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2015
The Ibar Basin was formed during Miocene large scale extension in the NE Dinaride segment of the Alpine- Carpathian-Dinaride system. The Miocene extension led to exhumation of deep seated core-complexes (e.g.
