Modeling apparent Pb loss in zircon U–Pb geochronology [PDF]
The loss of radiogenic Pb from zircon is known to be a major factor that can cause inaccuracy in the U–Pb geochronological system; hence, there is a need to better characterize the distribution of Pb loss in natural samples.

Impact and Correction of Analytical Positioning on Accuracy of Zircon U-Pb Dating by SIMS [PDF]
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is one of the most important analytical tools for geochronology, especially for zircon U-Pb dating. Due to its advantages in spatial resolution and analytical precision, SIMS is the preferred option for multi-spot ...

Hematite U-Pb dating of Snowball Earth meltwater events. [PDF]
The Snowball Earth hypothesis predicts global ice cover; however, previous descriptions of Cryogenian (720-635 Ma) glacial deposits are limited to continental margins and shallow marine basins. The Tavakaiv (Tava) sandstone injectites and ridges in Colorado, USA, preserve a rare terrestrial record of Cryogenian low-latitude glaciation.

Some new insights into the geochronology of the Western Karelia Subprovince, Finnish Lapland [PDF]
Archean terranes are generally poorly exposed and structurally complicated, making models of geological evolution difficult to establish. Because of pervasive metamorphism, strong deformation, and poorly exposed bedrock, the stratigraphy, geochronology ...

Apatite U-Pb Thermochronology: A Review [PDF]
The temperature sensitivity of the U-Pb apatite system (350–570 °C) makes it a powerful tool to study thermal histories in the deeper crust. Recent studies have exploited diffusive Pb loss from apatite crystals to generate t-T paths between ~350–570 °C, by comparing apatite U-Pb ID-TIMS (isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry) dates with

Direct Calibration Method for LA-HR-ICP-MS Apatite U-Pb Dating
BACKGROUND Apatite is a common U-bearing accessory mineral with a U-Pb closure temperature of ~500℃, making U-Pb dating of apatite a potentially valuable thermochronometer.
