By measuring the amount of 36Ar present, we can deduce the amount of atmospheric 40Ar initially present. 40Ar 36Ar36Ar 40K λ λe 295.5 eλt-1 Because Ar is not chemically bound in lattices, the K-Arclock will generally be reset more readily than other systems. An event is that “resets” a radiometric clock is generally a thermal one. But, in the case of K-Ar, the system would be reset whenever temperatures are high enough to allow Ar to diffuse out of the rock or mineral of interest.

McDougall its ionic radius is 0.69. Re is one of Group VII metals and has a valence of 4; its ionic radius is 0.63. The siderophile/chalcophile nature of Re and Os makes this isotope system useful to address questions of core ation and ore genesis. Unlike other radioactive and radiogenic elements, which are incompatible ones and hence enriched in melts, Os is a highly compatible element bulk D 10 and is enriched in the residual solid. This makes Os isotope ratios particularly useful in studies of the mantle. Os is highly compatible, but Re is moderately incompatible and is slightly enriched in the melt. Partial melting appears to produce an increase in the Re/Os ratio by a factor of 102. Therefore, the range of Os isotope ratios in the Earth is enormous compared to other radiogenic elements.

Re-Os geochronology has applied on dating the ation of iron meteorites, platinum group metal ores, and some ultramafic rocks. Re is strongly concentrated in molybdenite MoS2 and some copper-sulfides. Hence, the Re-Os system can be suitable for dating certain types of sulfide ore deposits. Re-Os isochron for a komatiite from Monro Township.

Bird A fraction of U atoms undergo spontaneous fission rather than alpha decay. The sum of the masses of the fragments is less than that of the parent U atom this difference reflects the greater binding energy of the fragments. The missing mass has been converted to kinetic energy of the fission fragments. The energy is deposited in crystal lattices through which the fission fragments pass by stripping electrons from atoms in the crystal lattice. The ionized atoms repel each other, disordering the lattice and producing a small channel and a wider stressed region in the crystal. The damage is visible as tracks seen with an electron microscope operating at magnifications of 50,000 x or greater. The stressed region is more readily attacked and dissolved by acid; so by acid etching the tracks can be enlarged to the point where they are visible under the optical microscope.

About 5 x 10-7U atoms undergo spontaneous fission for every one that undergoes α-decay. Analytical procedures 1. Determining fission track density involves a relatively straightforward procedure of polishing and etching a thin section, and then counting the number of tracks per unit area. 2. Determination of the U concentration of the sample. This is usually done by neutron irradiation and counting of the tracks resulting from neutron-induced fission. As fission is a rare event in any case, fission track dating generally uses uranium rich minerals. Minerals commonly used are apatite, sphene titanite, and zircon. Fission tracks are subject to annealing at geologically low to moderate temperatures. Relationship between the percentage of tracks annealed, temperature, and time for apatite and sphere. In general, closure temperatures for fission tracks are below those of conventional isotope geochronometers, so they are particularly useful in analysis of low temperature events and in determining cooling histories. When combined with estimates of geothermal gradients, fission track ages, particularly if ages for a variety of minerals are determined, are a useful tool in studying uplift and erosion rates. Apparent closure annealing temperatures of fission tracks as a function of cooling rate for a variety of minerals. U-decay series dating （铀系不平衡） U and Th do not decay directly to Pb, rather the transition from U and Th to Pb passes through many intermediate radioactive daughters. 238U235U 232Th 206, 207, 208 Pb Half-lives and constants of long- lived U and Th daughters Disequilibrium Dating Can be applied when a radioactive daughter product becomes separated from its parent isotope 234U 230Th in sea water 222Rn 210Pb in the atmosphere 234U and 222Rn are decay products of 238U series 230Th –238U dating on sediments 230Thu 230Thue-λ230t 0 230Th/232Thu 230Th/232Thue-λ230t 0 230Th –238U isochron diagram Faure, 1986 Slope of the isochron changes as a function of time Faure, 1986 230Th/232Th ratio as a function in depth Huh T1/2 12.3 years Low activity 1 part in 1018varies by region T r i t i u m d a t i n g Used to trace water sources age of „recent“ materials Sources directly fed by rainwater will contain the same tritium levels as rainwater Trapped aquifers will have no tritium Slow traveling aquifers will have a reduced amount Tritium dating 10Be dating 1 0 Be d a t i n g 10Be is produced by reactions of high energy cosmic ray protons with N2and O2 in the atmosphere and at the surface of minerals exposed to atmosphere 10Be then undergoes decay to 10B with a half-life of about 1.5 Ma 1 0 Be d a t i n g Growth of Mn nodule 锰结核） Manganese nodules are dark, potato-shaped little balls where metals and other minerals have accumulated around a core over a few million years. They contain a relatively high percentage of metals, i.e. Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Manganese and Iron and are mostly found in water depths of 4000-6000 meters a few thousand km from the closest continent shores. Their growth rate can be dated with the help of cosmogenic nuclides.

This provides unambiguous evidence that sediments are recycled through subduction zones, as the half life of 10Be is too short for it to be still present in the mantle.
