Spectrochemical Rubidium-Strontium Method for Geological Age Determination

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The age values of lepidolites from South Africa and from Varuträsk as well as that of a microcline from Varuträsk have been determined and are discussed in connection with determination according to the potassium-argon method, applied to the same materials. A method is suggested which allows the spectrochemical determination of Rb and Sr with sufficient accuracy. The isotopic composition is determined by means of a Fabry-Perot etalon and hollow-cathode excitation, investigating the hyper-fine structure of the Sr line at 4078 A.
