Journal ArticleDOI

The age of fossil StW573 (‘Little Foot’): Reply to comments by Stratford et al. (2017)

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative interpretation of 26Al/10Be burial data is presented, in which they revisit the burial age reported by Granger et al. for the sediments encasing the fossil and the data on which this was based.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proterozoic 40Ar/39Ar ages from cave deposits of the Malapa, Sterkfontein and Dinaledi fossil sites, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of 40 Ar/39 Ar dating on ooids and indurated, extremely fine-grained mudstone occurring in cave sediments in the Cradle of Humankind (CoH) UNESCO world heritage site was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cause and timing of the thermal over-maturation of hydrocarbon source rocks of the Ecca Group (Main Karoo Basin, South Africa)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out 40Ar/39Ar radiometric dating of illite and showed that illite fractions from samples close to dolerite intrusions showed formation age between 204 and 170 Ma, consistent with the time of the KLIP sills and dykes intrusions at ∼180 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Petrography of the carbonaceous, diamond-bearing stone “Hypatia” from southwest Egypt: A contribution to the debate on its origin

TL;DR: In this paper, a reconnaissance study of the carbonaceous matrix of the Hypatia stone and the phases enclosed in it was conducted, and the results showed that carbonaceous matrices of two types occur irregularly intermingled on the 50-500-μm scale: Matrix-1, consisting of almost pure carbonaceous matter, and Matrix-2, containing Fe, Ni, P and S at abundances analyzable by microprobe.
