40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology for Submilligram Samples Using a Ta Platform Microfurnace, With Illustrations From the Bushveld Complex
Abstract We present a method for 40Ar/39Ar step‐heating measurements on anhydrous K‐bearing minerals. Samples placed in dimples on Ta foil platforms are heated indirectly with a laser while temperatures are measured with a two‐color pyrometer. The system provides a simple, inexpensive, and reliable...
