Journal ArticleDOI
Intercalibration of standards, absolute ages and uncertainties in 40Ar/39Ar dating
Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Carl C. Swisher,Alan L. Deino,Daniel B. Karner,Thomas L. Owens,Donald J. DePaolo +6 more
TL;DR: McDougall et al. as mentioned in this paper derived intercalibration factors for McClure Mountain hornblende (MMhb-1), GHC-305 biotite, GA-1550, Taylor Creek sanidine (TCs), relative to Fish Canyon sanidine(ACs), were derived from 797 analyses involving 11 separate irradiations with well-constrained neutronfluence variations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronizing Rock Clocks of Earth History
Klaudia F. Kuiper,Klaudia F. Kuiper,Alan L. Deino,Frederik J Hilgen,Wout Krijgsman,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Jan R. Wijbrans +7 more
TL;DR: This calibration of tephras in marine deposits in Morocco to calibrate the age of Fish Canyon sanidine provides tight constraints for the astronomical tuning of pre-Neogene successions, resulting in a mutually consistent age of ∼65.95 Ma for the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint determination of 40K decay constants and 40Ar∗/40K for the Fish Canyon sanidine standard, and improved accuracy for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Roland Mundil,Greg Balco,Greg Balco,Kyoungwon Min,Kenneth R. Ludwig +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical optimization approach was proposed for estimating the 40Ar/39Ar decay constants from 40K activity data, K-Ar isotopic data, and pairs of 238U-206Pb and 40Ar-39Ar data for rigorously selected rocks to estimate the partial decay constants (λe and λβ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive 200-Million-Year-Old Continental Flood Basalts of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province
Andrea Marzoli,Andrea Marzoli,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,E.M. Piccirillo,Marcia Ernesto,Giuliano Bellieni,Angelo De Min +7 more
TL;DR: The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is defined by tholeiitic basalts that crop out in once-contiguous parts of North America, Europe, Africa, and South America and is associated with the breakup of Pangea.
Journal ArticleDOI
A test for systematic errors in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology through comparison with U/Pb analysis of a 1.1-Ga rhyolite
TL;DR: In this paper, the decay constants of 40Ar/39Ar and 40K → 40Ar were compared with the results of the Palisade Rhyolite alkali feldspar.
