U–Th isotopic microanalysis of zircon reference materials and KBSI working standards
Abstract Background The 238U–230Th disequilibrium dating of the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4) provides an efficient tool for investigating the time scales of Quaternary magmatic processes. In situ mass spectrometric U–Th microanalysis of zircon requires careful calibration and correction of the measured i...
