Full description

This dataset includes (U-Th)/He analyses on zircon and apatite grains from samples in the Knox Rift region. Samples were analysed at the John de Laeter Centre (Curtin University), using conventional single grain (U-Th)/He dating techniques.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: In general, data quality is excellent from analytical standpoint (i.e., single grain ages reproduce within analytical uncertainty), however, in some case quality of analytical results was compromised by insufficient quality of dated material. For example, in some cases quality of apatite crystals did not entirely meet the requirements as the crystals contained mineral or fluid inclusions which can potentially affect the accuracy of (U-Th)/He dating results.

Notes

Purpose
This dataset provides an indication of the timing in which analysed samples were cooling through the Helium partial retention zone of Apatite (~40-80 degrees C) and in Zircon (~150-220 degrees C). These data may represent the aftermath of heating during tectonic events (e.g., rifting), or may indicate exhumation of analyzed rocks from depth, either during active tectonic events and/or through erosion.

Data time period: 2018-02-23 to 2019-07-19
