Journal ArticleDOI

Stable isotope compositions of waters in the Great Basin, United States 2. Modern precipitation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed deuterium (δD) and oxygen-18 contents of 41 locations within and adjacent to parts of the Great Basin lying in California, Oregon, Nevada, and Utah, and made separate collections of summer and winter season precipitation at stations ranging in elevation from −65 m to 3246 m.
Journal ArticleDOI

In situ LA-ICPMS U–Pb dating of cassiterite without a known-age matrix-matched reference material: Examples from worldwide tin deposits spanning the Proterozoic to the Tertiary

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach for in situ LA-ICPMS dating of cassiterite, which benefits from the unique chemistry of cassitite with extremely low Th concentrations (Th/U ratio of 10−4 or lower) in some cassite samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

U–Pb geochronology of tin deposits associated with the Cornubian Batholith of southwest England: Direct dating of cassiterite by in situ LA-ICPMS

TL;DR: In this paper, the first results of direct dating of cassiterite were obtained from tin deposits associated with seven different plutons within the Cornubian Batholith for in situ LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Spatial Resolution U-Pb Geochronology and Pb Isotope Geochemistry of Magnetite-Apatite Ore from the Pea Ridge Iron Oxide-Apatite Deposit, St. Francois Mountains, Southeast Missouri, USA

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of several techniques, including ID-TIMS and high spatial resolution geochronology of apatite and monazite using LA-SC-ICPMS and SHRIMP, and Pb isotope geochemistry of pyrite and magnetite was employed to obtain the first direct age constraints on the formation and alteration history of the Pea Ridge IOA deposit.
