Journal ArticleDOI
Improved 206Pb/238U microprobe geochronology by the monitoring of a trace-element-related matrix effect; SHRIMP, ID-TIMS, ELA-ICP-MS and oxygen isotope documentation for a series of zircon standards

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated correlations between the age offsets and P, Sm and Nd abundances in the zircons, and concluded that the presence of Nd is not the primary cause of the apparent matrix effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint determination of 40K decay constants and 40Ar∗/40K for the Fish Canyon sanidine standard, and improved accuracy for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology

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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and timing of the Permian mass extinctions: U/Pb dating of closed-system zircons.
TL;DR: Zircons from nine ash beds within the Shangsi and Meishan sections (China), pretreated by annealing followed by partial attack with hydrofluoric acid, result in suites of consistent and concordant uranium/lead (U/Pb) ages, eliminating the effects of lead loss.
