Uranium-Lead dating of hominid fossil sites in South Africa [PDF]
Discoveries of hominid, or apeman, fossils in the twentieth century have brought human evolution into the scientific spotlight. It is important that ages are assigned to such hominids so that their place in human evolution can be established.

U-Pb dating by zircon dissolution method using chemical abrasion [PDF]
Chemical abrasion was carried out on zircons grains of the Temora II standard for U-Pb dating prior to analyses using in situ Laser Ablation-MultiCollector Ion Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (LA-ICPMS) followed by the Isotope Dissolution Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (ID-TIMS) method.

Discordance dating: A new approach for dating alteration events [PDF]
Zircon is the premier geochronometer used to date igneous and metamorphic processes, constrain sediment provenance models, and monitor key events in Earth history such as the growth of continents and the evolution of the biosphere.

Review in Zirconology. I. Progress in U-Pb dating of zircon.
In this paper (Part I), recent progress in U-Pb dating of zircon is reviewed. Rare-earth element (REE) partitioning of accessory minerals and REE geochemistry of zircon will be reviewed in separate papers, Part II and Part III, respectively. Zircon (ZrSiO4) is one of the most important minerals in geochronology because the zircon crystal is very ...

U-Pb (LA-ICPMS) zircon ages and Nd isotopes for granitoids of the Tamboril-Santa Quitéria Complex, Ceará Central Domain: implication for neoproterozoic syncollisional magmatism in north Borborema Province [PDF]
The Tamboril-Santa Quitéria Complex (TSQC) is one of the largest Neoproterozoic plutonic manifestations in the northBorborema Province (NE Brazil). It represents an anatectic/igneous association characterized by a number of magmaticpulses that occurred ...

SHRIMP Zircon U-Pb Dating of Mid-Pleistocene Dacite and Discussion of Relative Problems
K-Ar and U series disequilibria methods have been applied to geochronology research of young volcanic rocks in Tengchong, China. Previous K-Ar dating methods yielded ages of 0.013 to 17.84 Ma and isochron ages of 0.13 to 2.9 Ma in this area. The U series
