In 1962, Price and Walker discovered that micas contain natural tracks which can be optically revealed by etching with hydrofluoric acid. This discovery started a search for natural tracks (also called fossil tracks) in different kinds of materials and only two years later, natural tracks had been observed in about 10 different types of minerals and in

Advances in fission track dating
World Archaeology, 1975Abstract Recent advances in fission track dating have to do with dating of past exposures to thermal chemical or mechanical effects. The latter two effects exist but have yet to be used. In contrast methods of recognizing thermal effects and correcting for them are well developed for glasses.

Fission-track dating in paleoanthropology
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 1996During the last 30 years, fission-track dating has become a versatile geochronological tool.1 Fission-tracks, discovered in the early 1960s,2 were subsequently used to determine the age of minerals and glasses.3 Although low track densities can make fission-track dating tedious and time-consuming, the technique can provide important data for material ...

Fission track dating of natural glasses
International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part D. Nuclear Tracks and Radiation Measurements, 1988Abstract The chief advantage of fission track (f.t.) technique is that it can be used for dating of young volcanic glasses (obsidians) where most other well- established techniques fail. Lipari obsidians from three different lava flows have been dated to check the hypothesis of their historic origin. F.T.

Calibration of fission track dating parameters
Nuclear Track Detection, 1977Abstract A comparison of fission track and K-Ar ages for a set of mineral age standards has been used to evaluate the 238U spontaneous fission decay constant, 238λf. Neutron doses were monitored with two fission-track glasses calibrated against a series of Co wire neutron flux monitors in an irradiation facility with a uniform flux distribution in ...

Fission-Track Dating and Geologic Annealing of Fission Tracks
1979Fission-track dating is one of the newest methods that geologists have to help them determine the ages of minerals and natural glasses. Fission tracks are stable over different temperature intervals in different minerals and glasses,and by dating several different minerals present in a rock it is possible to obtain a better understanding of its thermal

Fission track dating of apatites
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1968Abstract Fission track dating was applied to a large number of apatites for the first time. In apatite it is easy to identify fission tracks on the (0001) face if one uses the oil immersion technique. Fission tracks in apatite survive 1 m.y. only if the temperature does not exceed 100°C. Apatites taken from different types of rocks from the Odenwald (

The current status and problems of fission-track dating
Nuclear Tracks, 1981ABSTRACT The paper reviews the current status and problems of Fission Track Dating (FTD) in the light of the transactions held at the FTD Workshop at Pisa in September 1980. These include uncertainties regarding the best value of the 238U fission-decay constant and the (often related) methods of thermal-neutron dosimetry and use of age standards ...
