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.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. The file format is Microsoft Excel. The first sheet provides machine-readable summary of the data while the second worksheet includes the processed analytical data for each sample. Sample locations (Latitude, Longitude, Elevation - WGS84), location names, sample lithologies and the source collections of the original sample are included. -9999.9 indicates missing data.

PurposeThis 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.
