Call for an improved set of decay constants for geochronological use

TL;DR: The decay constants used in geo- and cosmochronology usually are assigned uncertainties of ca. 1% but there are very much larger unaccounted discrepancies between decay constants reported by different "counting groups" as well as differences between results derived from counting experiments and from the comparison of ages obtained on the same samples by utilizing different radioactive clocks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on Martian differentiation processes from RbSr and SmNd isotopic analyses of the basaltic shergottite QUE 94201

TL;DR: In this article, isotope dilution data of the shergottite meteorite QUE 94201 has been used to identify a leachable crustal component in the meteorite, which can affect the isochrons by selectively altering the isotopic systematics of the leachates and some of the mineral fractions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The age of Dar al Gani 476 and the differentiation history of the martian meteorites inferred from their radiogenic isotopic systematics

TL;DR: In this paper, a crystallization age of 474 ± 11 Ma and an initial eNd143 value of +36.6 ± 0.8 were derived from a source region that had a slightly greater incompatible enrichment than the QUE94201 source region.
Journal ArticleDOI

The age of the carbonates in martian meteorite ALH84001.

TL;DR: The carbonate formation age is contemporaneous with a period in martian history when the surface is thought to have had flowing water, but also was undergoing heavy bombardment by meteorites, therefore, this age does not distinguish between aqueous and impact origins for the carbonates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neodymium, strontium and chromium isotopic studies of the LEW86010 and Angra dos Reis meteorites and the chronology of the angrite parent body

TL;DR: In this article, Neodymium, stontium, and chromium isotopic studies of the LEW86010 angrite were conducted to establish its absolute age and the formation interval between its crystallization and condensation of Allende CAIs from the solar nebula.
