Assessment of Five Monazite Reference Materials for U-Th/Pb Dating Using Laser-Ablation ICP-MS
Monazite is a common accessory phosphate mineral that occurs under a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Ancient tin production: Slags from the Iron Age Carvalhelhos hillfort (NW Iberian Peninsula) [PDF]
Provenance and production of tin in the Ancient World has since long been a major topic of discussion among archaeologists. In Western Europe, where significant tin ore (cassiterite) deposits are known, only a few remains of ancient tin production, such ...

Zircon dissolution in a ductile shear zone, Monte Rosa granite gneiss, northern Italy [PDF]
The sizes, distributions and shapes of zircon grains within variably deformed granite gneiss from the western Alps have been studied. Zircon shows numerous indicators of a metamorphic response in both the host gneiss and a 5 cm wide continuous ductile ...

Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to

Assessing Inheritance of Zircon and Monazite in Granitic Rocks from the Monashee Complex, Canadian Cordillera [PDF]
Zircon and monazite from granitic sheets and dikes in the Monashee complex, Canadian Cordillera, were investigated to determine whether igneous crystallization occurred at 1.9 Ga or 50 Ma with 1.9 Ga inherited zircon and monazite.

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

The causes of U-Pb isotopic discordance documented by Paquette et al. (2004) in monazite grains from the ultra-high temperature (UHT) granulite of the Andriamena unit of Madagascar are re-evaluated in the light of nanoscale crystal-chemical ...

Electron Microprobe Chemical Dating of Uraninite as a Reconnaissance Tool for Leucogranite Geochronology [PDF]
We suggest that electron microprobe techniques may be employed to date Tertiary samples of uraninite (UO~2~), which can contain very high concentrations of radiogenic Pb after only a few million of years of U and Th decay. Although uraninite is regarded
